City of Hope Medical Center is developing the PIpepTolDC "inverse vaccine" to treat Type 1 Diabetes and other auto-immune diseases [0]. They have had two successful trials in humans [1, 2]. The third trial is recruiting adults with T1D onset 1-4 years ago [3]. The PIpepTolDC treatment is expensive because it is labor intensive. A technician must take some of the patient's blood, isolate their immune cells, replicate the cells, desensitize them, and then inject them back into the patient. BioNTech is developing a new category of treatments for auto-immune diseases [4] which should be inexpensive injections. These should include a treatment for Type 1 Diabetes. Frankly, this tech seems amazing and ready to cure many diseases. The pace of development seems slow. I wish there were some way to speed it up. About 80,000 children develop T1D every year.
