Trial Outcomes & Findings for Diamyd Administered Into Lymph Nodes in Combination With Vitamin D in Type 1 Diabetes (NCT NCT03345004)

NCT ID: NCT03345004

Last Updated: 2023-01-09

Results Overview

Change in C-peptide between Baseline and 15 Months. C-peptide was measured by Area Under the Curve \[AUC\] at 0-120 min during a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) and divided by 120 min. The results are given as the ratio (back-transformed from log-scale) between 15 Months and Baseline as predicted by the MMRM (Mixed Model Repeated Measures) model.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 15 months

Population: Full analysis set, consist of all randomized patients who have received at least one dose of study medication and have at least one postbaseline assessment and corresponding baseline measurement of any efficacy variable. 1 patient in the active arm and 4 patients in the placebo arm were excluded due to lack of primary efficacy data at Visit 7.

Change in QoL as measured by the standardised measure of health questionnaire EQ-5D-5L between baseline and Month 15. The EQ-5D-5L is based on 5 questions rated at 5 levels indicating from no problem (level 1) to extreme problems (level 5) regarding current state of mobility, self-care, activity, pain and anxiety. The outcome is presented as a weighted index value, where 1 is the best possible health and 0 represents being dead.
