(Note: Subjects with autoimmune conditions (i.e., asthma) necessitating treatment with systemic short-term corticosteroids and administered a rapid taper are eligible per protocol with the caveat that the tapering is complete or decreased to the minimum requirement (i.e., 5 mg/day) at least 1 week prior to the Baseline visit (when randomization occurs) to ensure the subject is stable.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Partial-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Human Plasma-Derived Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor in Subjects With New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

This is a multicenter, randomized, partial-blinded, five-arm, placebo-controlled study of human plasma-derived alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI) in children (ages 6-11 years old) and teens/adults (ages 12-35 years old) with new onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Currently enrolling ages 12-35 only. Once 25 patients are randomized and data is reviewed enrollment will be opened to the child cohort. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of four dosing regimens of human plasma-derived alpha1-PI in T1DM.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTMT) Stimulated C-peptide 2 Hour Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC)

    C-peptide concentration during MMTT with high protein energy drink. "Dose" for time frame refers to intake of high protein energy drink.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 52 (pre-high protein drink and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes post-drink)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline for MMTT Stimulated C-peptide 2h AUC

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 14, 27, 39, 69, 87, and 104 (pre-high protein drink and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes post-drink)

  2. Change From Baseline for HbA1c Levels

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 14, 27, 39, 52, 69, 87, and 104

  3. Number of Subjects With Overall Severe Hypoglycemic Episodes

    Severe hypoglycemia defined according the ADA Workgroup on Hypoglycemia definition, as follows: An event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagons, or other resuscitative actions.

    Measured: 104 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline for Mean Daily Insulin Dose Requirements

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 14, 27, 39, 52, 69, 87, and 104

  5. Change From Baseline for Mean Daily Glucose Levels Prior to Meals and Bedtime

    For each visit, the mean daily glucose levels were calculated over the previous 3-7 days prior to the study visit from blood glucose levels recorded daily prior to meals and bedtime.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 14, 27, 39, 52, 69, 87, and 104

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted20 Mar 2014 (estimated)
  2. Study startMar 2014
  3. Primary completionJan 2017
  4. Study completionJun 2017

Why it stopped: Wk 52 primary endpoint results would be unaffected by follow-up data so trial was discontinued prior to wk 104. No safety data was collected after wk 52.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 180 mg/kg Alpha1-PI and 90 mg/kg Alpha1-PI in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Grifols Therapeutics LLC at 36 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States. 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 19 Apr 2018). 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?

Change From Baseline in Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTMT) Stimulated C-peptide 2 Hour Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) (time frame: Baseline, Week 52 (pre-high protein drink and 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes post-drink)). 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 NCT02093221, 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 5 Sep 2018.
