cells) as a single infusion. All the participants also received glucocorticoid-free immunosuppressive therapy. The primary end point in part A was safety. The primary end point in part C was freedom from severe hypoglycemic events during days 90 through 365, with a glycated hemoglobin level of less than 7% or a decrease of at least 1 percentage point from baseline in the glycated hemoglobin level at one or more time points between days 180 and 365. Secondary end points in part C included safety and insulin independence between days 180 and 365. Assessment of the primary and secondary end points in part C involved the participants who received the full dose of zimislecel as a single infusion in part B or C. Detection of serum C-peptide during a 4-hour mixed-meal tolerance test was used to assess engraftment and islet function. All the analyses were interim and not prespecified.
