What participants receive

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

  • etanerceptDrug

    Also called Enbrel

    Treatment option 'A'-Two weeks treatment with etanercept. The first dose of 50mg in normal saline will be given intravenously one hour before transplant. Then 25mg will be administered subcutaneously two times a week for two weeks.

  • etanerceptDrug

    Also called Enbrel

    Etanercept will be given for a total of 2 months. The first dose of 50mg in normal saline will be given intravenously one hour before transplant. Then 25mg will be administered subcutaneously two times a week for two months.

What is being measured

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

  1. The functional capability of the islet allograft to normalize glucose metabolism in the absence of insulin therapy.

    Measured: Outcome measures will be assessed at protocol prescribed intervals. Long term outcomes assessment will be measured at 5 years post transplant or all evidence of islet function has ceased plus six months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reduction in insulin requirements in those patients who do not achieve insulin independence with improved metabolic control.

    Measured: Outcome measures will be assessed at protocol prescribed intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing etanercept in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 1 site 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 1 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 functional capability of the islet allograft to normalize glucose metabolism in the absence of insulin therapy. (time frame: Outcome measures will be assessed at protocol prescribed intervals. Long term outcomes assessment will be measured at 5 years post transplant or all evidence of islet function has ceased plus six months.). 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 16 Sep 2014.
