Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reversing Type 1 Diabetes After it is Established (NCT NCT01106157)

NCT ID: NCT01106157

Last Updated: 2019-08-05

Results Overview

Area Under Curve (AUC) C-peptide production. Subjects underwent a 2 hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) using a 6ml/kg load of boost to stimulate insulin production. Samples were collected at baseline, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes. AUC was then calculated. Subjects repeated the MMTT at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months following ATG/GCSF or placebo. The primary outcome for the study was the change over 12 months in AUC C-peptide (1 year - baseline) for those who received ATG/GCSF versus the change in AUC C-peptide (1 year - baseline) for those who received placebo

Measure
Anti-Thymocyte Globin Plus Pegylated GCSF
Subjects will receive an infusion of Anti-Thymocyte Globin (ATG) followed by 6 doses of pegylated GCSF every 2 weeks for 10 weeks. Anti-Thymocyte Globin plus pegylated GCSF: Anti-Thymocyte Globin (ATG)will be given as 0.5/mg/kg on day 1 and 2mg/kg on day 2, plus 6 doses of pegylated GCSF (6mg/dose) given subcutaneously every 2 weeks beginning after the ATG infusion.
Placebo
Saline infusion will be given on both Day 1 and Day 2 followed by placebo injection given in identical volumes in identical syringes in the identical subcutaneous manner. Placebo: Saline infusions will be given on Day 1 and Day 2 followed by placebo injections given in identical volumes in identical syringes.
