Islet Cell Data Shows 100% Insulin Independence
Updated data from the University of Chicago Medicine islet cell transplantation study presented at ADA 2026 showed all 12 patients with type 1 diabetes achieved insulin independence and HbA1c below 6.5%, with no severe hypoglycemic episodes post-transplant.
Analysis · ELDN · Life Sciences
The wider net loss in Q2 stems from a non-cash warrant liability charge, but the pivotal development is the successful End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, which clears the way for a global Phase 3 kidney transplantation trial expected to begin in late 2026. With $88.8 million in cash, operations are funded into Q2 2027, providing runway through the trial's initiation. Adding clinical validation, the islet cell data showed 100% insulin independence in all 12 patients. Notably, the warrant liability fair-value loss is a non-cash mark-to-market item tied to the share price, not a cash outflow or new dilution.
