Type 2 Diabetes 

Type 2 Diabetes is a progressive disease in which the body has difficulty maintaining normal blood sugar (glucose) levels. Over time, excess sugar in the blood can damage blood vessels, kidneys, and other tissues in  the body, causing complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, neuropathy, kidney  damage, eye damage and foot ulcers among others. 

Normalizing and controlling blood glucose levels can prevent or slow down the progression of the disease and  is a primary goal of diabetes management.

Role of the duodenum in regulating blood glucose levels 

The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. It connects the stomach to the rest of the digestive  tract.

As the first absorptive part of the digestive tract that sees the intake of food, the duodenum plays an  important role in signaling the rest of the body to prepare for the nutrients that it is about to receive. 

In patients with Type 2 Diabetes, the cells in the duodenal lining, or mucosa, that are responsible for this  signaling are not functioning properly; this can contribute to an imbalance in blood sugar levels.

What is Duodenal Mucosal Regeneration (DMR) 

Duodenal Mucosal Regeneration or DMR is an endoscopic procedure that is designed to eliminate these poorly functioning cells in the mucosa so the body will regrow new cells that signal properly. This is intended to help the body better regulate blood sugar levels. 

The DyaMX Procedure 

The DyaMX DMR procedure is done in an endoscopy suite in a hospital or an outpatient center. Patients  will be under general anesthesia for the procedure. During the procedure, a specialized doctor called a  gastroenterologist, will use a small flexible camera (endoscope) to guide a special catheter through the  mouth and past the stomach into the duodenum. This catheter is designed to apply pulsed electric fields  across the mucosa, or lining, of the duodenum. These electric fields will destabilize the targeted cells of the  mucosa and initiate the regeneration or regrowth of healthy cells – including the signaling cells that help  the body manage blood glucose levels. 

Because the DyaMX procedure is done endoscopically, this means there will be no incisions (cuts or scars).

While the recovery experience is not completely known at this time most individuals should be able to go home the day of the procedure. Patients may experience some abdominal discomfort that should pass in a short time.

Normal physical activity can usually be resumed the next day.

The Regent-1 Clinical Trial 

The Regent-1 Clinical Trial will evaluate the safety and feasibility of the DyaMX procedure in the  treatment of patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

COVID-19 Considerations  

While participation in the clinical trial will require regular interaction with healthcare professionals, steps  will be taken to limit the exposure potential and remote visits will be utilized if necessary. 

A study coordinator will discuss these visits, and other COVID precautions, in detail with participants.
