About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Safety and Pharmacodynamic Study of BHT-3021 With Open Label Cross-Over in Subjects With Type I Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of BHT-3021 injections given weekly for 12 weeks and to evaluate the effect of BHT-3021 on antibody and immune (T cell) responses to autoantigens (e.g. insulin). Changes in pancreatic beta cell function, insulin requirements and blood glucose levels will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Type 1 diabetes results from an attack by the body's own immune system on the insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Around 80% of diagnosed patients have detectable antibodies to islet cell self-proteins including, insulin IA-2 and glutamic acid decarboxylase. The drug, BHT-3021 is being studied because an agent that stops autoimmune damage could offer patients benefit.

Study Description: A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Safety and Pharmacodynamic Study of BHT-3021 with Open Label Cross-Over in Subjects with Type I Diabetes Mellitus that will enroll up to 72 subjects in this trial. Subjects will be randomized to BHT-3021 or BHT-placebo in a 2:1 ratio.

The duration of the study is approximately 25 to 37 months depending on treatment assignment: 4 week Screening Period; 12 month Blinded Treatment and Evaluation Period; 12 month Cross-over Treatment and Evaluation Period (BHT-placebo subjects only); 12 month Long Term Follow-Up period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint in this study is safety.Safety parameters include: stimulated C-peptide response levels, opthalmologic examination, laboratory assessments, 24-hr urine protein, allergic reactions and adverse events including hypoglycemia.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary endpoints are pharmacodynamic parameters. Parameters include plasmid levels and insulin mRNA levels in blood and urine, Stimulated C-peptide response and Immunological response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BHT-3021 in people with Diabetes and Hypoglycemia, run by Bayhill Therapeutics at 18 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, Australia, New Zealand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint in this study is safety.Safety parameters include: stimulated C-peptide response levels, opthalmologic examination, laboratory assessments, 24-hr urine protein, allergic reactions and adverse events including hypoglycemia.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jun 2011.
