For Hepner, who has had type 1 diabetes for twenty five years, making this film is personal. \u201cWhile I\u2019m hoping this trial may be the breakthrough we need for a cure,\u201d Hepner told me, \u201dI also want people with diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, not to give up. I\u2019d like them to understand the Herculean efforts behind most cure research and to know that they have good reason to keep hoping.\u201d <strong>The Trial<\/strong> At the center of <em>The Human Trial<\/em> is San-Diego based biotech company, ViaCyte Inc. In partnership with the University of California, San Diego and the University of Alberta, ViaCyte has received FDA approval to test only the fourth embryonic stem cell derived product in the world. Part of the reason the directors are excited about <em>this<\/em> trial is <a href=\"http:\/\/viacyte.com\/products\/vc-01-diabetes-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-beacon=\"{&quot;p&quot;:{&quot;mnid&quot;:&quot;entry_text&quot;,&quot;lnid&quot;:&quot;citation&quot;,&quot;mpid&quot;:11,&quot;plid&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/viacyte.com\/products\/vc-01-diabetes-therapy\/&quot;}}\">ViaCyte<\/a> is theoretically growing enough insulin-producing cells &#8211; from a single donated embryo leftover from in vitro fertilization &#8211; to treat every patient on the face of the earth with type 1 diabetes. This could also benefit anyone who takes insulin, including those with type 2 diabetes. The patients participating in the Phase 1\/2 portion of the trial received a less than therapeutic dose of the stem-cell derived therapy. The cells were implanted in their body in two semi-permeable encapsulation pouches. The pouch is about half the size of a credit card as seen below.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/riva\/blogs\/diabetes-advocacy\/breakthrough-diabetes-trial-captured-on-film-the-human-trial\/attachment\/the-human-trial-the-pouch\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39195\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39195 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/The-Human-Trial-The-Pouch.png\" alt=\"the-human-trial-the-pouch\" width=\"672\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-list-component text\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>The pouch allows the body\u2019s nutrients to enter and feed the cells while it protects them from being destroyed by the patient\u2019s immune system. Once matured, the cells are designed to secrete insulin and other hormones necessary to control blood glucose levels. Implantation of these cells in animals has already proved successful in controlling blood sugar. This is the first time it\u2019s being tried in humans. Once the product proves safe, researchers will seek recommendations to proceed to the therapeutic phase of the trail &#8211; again in people with type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Typically islet cell transplantation requires the recipient to take a lifetime of immune suppressant drugs. The goal of this trial is to eliminate the need for such drugs. Typically there are also not enough cells to harvest, and transplanted cells begin to die within a few years. ViaCyte\u2019s trial, with just one stem cell line, has the capacity to yield an unending amount of insulin-producing beta cells.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>The Film<\/strong> The idea for the film came to the husband\/wife team the morning Hepner woke from a dreadful hypoglycemic event during the night. \u201cIt was so clear to me. Unless you or a loved one has type 1 diabetes, you don\u2019t know how tough and scary it is to live with it. We all look healthy on the outside. \u201cSo Guy and I brainstormed on how best we could tell the story of diabetes and we landed on doing a film about the quest to cure it. We wanted to understand why there hasn\u2019t been a cure.\u201d Hepner says, and I agree, funding for a cure for type 1 diabetes suffers from how hidden and misunderstood the condition is from and by the public. \u201cPeople don\u2019t understand the physical, emotional and financial costs of type 1 diabetes,\u201d says Hepner. \u201cPerhaps if we walked around with IV drips that give us insulin there\u2019d be more concern about the disease. Instead, our essential diabetes devices are getting smaller and less visible.\u201d I too hope the film, like the trial, will help accelerate a cure. I also believe it will help alleviate what so many of us also bear. What I call \u201cHope-Fatigue.\u201d The exhaustion from years and decades of wishing for, praying for, hoping for, and being promised, a cure. <strong>Note:<\/strong> To donate to <em>The Human Trial<\/em> and keep the cameras rolling please visit the film\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehumantrial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-beacon=\"{&quot;p&quot;:{&quot;mnid&quot;:&quot;entry_text&quot;,&quot;lnid&quot;:&quot;citation&quot;,&quot;mpid&quot;:12,&quot;plid&quot;:&quot;http:\/\/www.thehumantrial.com\/&quot;}}\">website<\/a>.
