About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multinational, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study To Investigate The Clinical Efficacy And Safety of DiaPep277® in Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine if DiaPep277 can effectively protect the internal production of insulin in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, by stopping the immune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. DiaPep277 acts on the immune system and is expected to prevent further destruction of the beta-cells by stimulating regulatory responses, without causing immunological suppression.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DiaPep277Drug

    1.0mg dose, administered as subcutaneous injection, on 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 months

  • PlaceboDrug

    Mannitol (excipient) 40 mg, administered as subcutaneous injection on 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Glucagon-stimulated C-peptide AUC at 24 Months

    Beta-cell function, measured as change in stimulated C-peptide secretion measured 0, 2, 6, 10 and 20 minutes post administration [area under the curve (AUC), 0-20 minutes] at Baseline and 24 months, during a glucagon stimulation test (GST). The change in AUC was calculated per patient by subtracting the baseline AUC from the 24 month AUC.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change From Baseline in Mixed-meal Stimulated C-peptide AUC at 24 Months

    Beta cell function, measured as stimulated C-peptide secretion from 0 to 120 min post administration AUC, at baseline and 24 month measurements in a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT). The change in AUC was calculated per patient by subtracting the baseline AUC from the 24 month AUC.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DiaPep277 in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Andromeda Biotech Ltd. at 34 sites in 11 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites in Italy, South Africa, France, Spain, Czechia and 6 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 6 Jun 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?

Change From Baseline in Glucagon-stimulated C-peptide AUC at 24 Months (time frame: Baseline and 24 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 NCT00615264, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jun 2016.
