About this study

Official title: Effects of Canakinumab On The Progression of Type 1 Diabetes In New Onset Subjects

Canakinumab is a fully human anti-interleukin-1β (anti-IL-1β) monoclonal antibody (IgG-1 class). Canakinumab is designed to bind to human IL-1β and to functionally neutralize the bioactivity of this pro-inflammatory cytokine.

The study is a two-arm, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled clinical trial. 66 subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either monthly subcutaneous injections of 2.0 mg/kg Canakinumab, or placebo for 12 months. All groups will receive standard intensive diabetes treatment with insulin and dietary management.

Read more

Participants randomly assigned to Canakinumab treatment or placebo will receive a total of 12 injections over one year.

All subjects will be followed for 1 year of treatment plus 1- 3 years of additional follow-up until study end. Enrollment is expected to occur over two years.

What is being measured

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

  1. C-peptide Response to Mixed Meal Glucose Tolerance Test (MMTT) at One Year for Subjects Given Canakinumab Compared to Placebo

    The primary outcome is the area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (AUC) based on data collected at time 0 to 2 hours of a 4-hour mixed meal glucose tolerance test (MMTT) conducted at the primary endpoint visit. The timed measurements are done at: 0, 15, 30 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The calculation for the concentration of c-peptide is a weighted average of the 6 timed measurements of c-peptide in nano-moles/Liter. We try to distinguish this calculation from the AUC by referring to it as the "AUC mean" and may be expressed algebraically as the AUC/(120 min.); thus, the units are the same as the y-axis.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing canakinumab (anti IL-1beta) in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Preservation of Insulin Secretion, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 12 sites in 2 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 9 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 6 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

C-peptide Response to Mixed Meal Glucose Tolerance Test (MMTT) at One Year for Subjects Given Canakinumab Compared to Placebo (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00947427, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 May 2020.
