Lead Sponsor:
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Conditions:
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Eligibility:
All Genders
4-34 years
Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
This is a 2-arm, multi-center, open label study to learn if ATG works the same or better than teplizumab in delaying or preventing Stage 3 Type 1 diabetes. Participants will be administered either 2 i...
Detailed Description
This protocol will enroll 60 participants with Stage 2 diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance testing will be done at the screening, baseline visit (V0) and at 3, 6 and 12 months after study drug administra...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Willing to provide informed consent or have a parent or legal guardians provide informed consent when the participant is \<18 years of age.
- Aged ≥4 to \<35 years
- A history of at least two or more diabetes-related biochemical autoantibodies (mIAA, GADA, ICA, IA-2A, ZnT8A) present on the same sample. In the absence of other antibodies, ICA and GADA positivity alone will not suffice for eligibility in this trial.
- Participants must meet ADA stage 2 T1D glycemic criteria\* by TrialNet testing within 100 days of randomization.
- \*The ADA definition of stage 2 T1D is characterized by glucose intolerance or dysglycemia in the presence of two or more islet autoantibodies, impaired fasting glucose (≥ 100mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance (2-hour post 75g glucose load ≥ 140mg/dL), high glucose levels at intermediate time points on OGTT (30, 60, 90 min timepoints of ≥ 200 mg/dL), and/or HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% or ≥ 10% increase in HbA1c within a two year window, with the most recent HbA1c value obtained within 100 days of randomization.
- CMV and/or EBV seronegative participants must be CMV and EBV PCR negative within 30 days of randomization and may not have had signs or symptoms of a CMV or EBV-compatible illness lasting longer than 7 days within 30 days of randomization.
- CMV seropositive participants must be CMV PCR negative and all EBV seropositive participants must have EBV PCR \< 2,000 IU/mL within 30 days of randomization and may not have had signs or symptoms of a CMV or EBV-compatible illness lasting longer than 7 days within 30 days of randomization.
- Be at least 4 weeks from last live immunization.
- Be willing to forgo vaccines (other than non-live influenza and COVID-19) during the 3 months after study drug treatment period.
- Must meet TrialNet eligibility minimum immunization recommendations found in Appendix A of the manual of operations (MOO).
- With the exception of stage 2 T1D, participants must be healthy, as defined by absence of any other untreated diagnoses that the investigator deems to be a potential confounder.
- If a female participant with reproductive potential, willing to avoid pregnancy (abstinence or adequate contraceptive method) through the completion of the study infusions and up to 3 months after study drug administration and undergo pregnancy testing prior to each study visit.
- Must be residing or have accommodations within 1 hour of the infusion site during study drug infusions and must be within 1 hour of a medical care facility for 1 day after completion of infusions.
- Participants must live in a location with rapid access to emergency medical services.
- The ADA definition of stage 2 T1D is characterized by glucose intolerance or dysglycemia in the presence of two or more islet autoantibodies, impaired fasting glucose (≥ 100mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance (2-hour post 75g glucose load ≥ 140mg/dL), high glucose levels at intermediate time points on OGTT (30, 60, 90 min timepoints of ≥ 200 mg/dL), and/or HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% or ≥ 10% increase in HbA1c within a two year window, with the most recent HbA1c value obtained within 100 days of randomization.
Exclusion
- Immunodeficiency or clinically significant chronic lymphopenia: (Leukopenia (\<3,000 leukocytes/μL), neutropenia (\<1,500 neutrophils/μL), lymphopenia (\<800 lymphocytes/μL), thrombocytopenia (\<100,000 platelets/μL).
- Active signs or symptoms of acute or chronic infection at the time of randomization including SARS-Cov-2.
- Uncontrolled autoimmune thyroid disease and/or celiac disease (participants must be well controlled for the previous 6 months).
- Evidence of a history of prior or current tuberculosis infection as assessed interferon gamma release assay (QuantiFERON) with the exception of post-exposure prophylaxis.
- Currently pregnant or lactating or anticipate getting pregnant within the study period.
- Require use of other immunosuppressive agents including chronic use of oral or intravenous injectable steroids.
- Evidence of current or past HIV or Hepatitis B or current Hepatitis C infection.
- Any complicating medical issues or abnormal clinical laboratory results that may interfere with study conduct, or cause increased risk to include pre-existing cardiac disease, COPD, sickle cell disease, neurological disease, or blood count abnormalities.
- A history of malignancies other than of skin.
- Evidence of liver dysfunction with AST or ALT ≥ 2 times the upper limit of the reference range.
- Evidence of renal dysfunction with creatinine ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range.
- Increased bilirubin ≥ 2 times (total) or ≥ 1.5 times (direct) the normal limit (Participants with documentation of Gilbert's Disease permitted).
- Vaccination with a live vaccine within the last 4 weeks or killed/inactivated vaccine within the last 2 weeks.
- Current or ongoing use of non-insulin pharmaceuticals that affect glycemic control within 14 days of screening.
- Prior treatment with Teplizumab or ATG (either in a previous clinical trial or clinically).
- Has previously participated in a clinical trial for diabetes prevention and received active study agent within 6 months of treatment.
- Known allergy to rabbits or rabbit derived products.
- Prior adverse reactions to heparin.
- Any condition that in the investigator's opinion may adversely affect study participation.
- Any screening/baseline laboratory result not otherwise stated out of normal reference range and/or medical history that may increase the risk of the participant's participation in this trial.
- Previously diagnosed with Stage 3 TID according to ADA criteria.
