Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus based on ADA Criteria for fewer than 5 years but more than 100 days
  • 6-45 years of age, inclusive. To assess safety, we will initially enroll 8 patients over the age of 16. Following the last infusion of the 8th patient, we will assess adverse events. As long as there are no stopping criteria met for these 8 patients we will decrease the age criteria down to 6 years old.
  • C-peptide increase during screening mixed meal tolerance test with a minimal stimulated value of ≥ 0.2 pmol/mL.
  • Positive for antibodies to insulin (if insulin autoantibody positive only, determination must be within two weeks of insulin initiation), GAD-65, IA-2 or ZnT8
  • Agree to intensive management of diabetes with an HgbA1c goal of < 7.0%
  • If female, (a) surgically sterile or (b) postmenopausal or (c) if of reproductive potential, willing to use medically acceptable birth control (e.g. female hormonal contraception, barrier methods or sterilization. ) until 3 months after completion of any treatment period
Show all 10Show fewer
  • If male and of reproductive potential, willing to use medically acceptable birth control until 3 months after completion of any treatment period, unless the female partner is postmenopausal or surgically sterile
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal
  • AST < 2 times the upper limit of normal
  • Hematology:WBC > 3000 x 109/L; platelets > 100 x 109/L; hemoglobin > 10.0 g/dL.

Who cannot join

  • Unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the study protocol
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2
  • Unstable blood sugar control defined as one or more episodes of severe hypoglycemia (defined as hypoglycemia that required the assistance of another person) within the last 30 days
  • Previous immunotherapy for T1D
  • Administration of an experimental agent for T1D at any time or use of an experimental device for T1D within 30 days of screening, unless approved by the study PI
  • History of any organ transplant, including islet cell transplant
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Active autoimmune or immune deficiency disorder (e.g. sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis)
  • Serum bilirubin > ULN, except those subjects whose abnormal values were attributed to any stable, benign condition (such as Gilbert's Syndrome) may be included
  • TSH outside the normal range at screening, except those subjects on stable doses of thyroid hormone replacement therapy may be included
  • Known HIV positivity, active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C infection
  • Anticipated pregnancy during active dosing or within 3 months after completion of active dosing phase
  • History of a malignant neoplasm within the previous 5 years (except in situ cervical cancer and curable non-melanoma skin malignancy)
  • Any social condition or medical condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, prevent complete participation in the study or that would pose a significant hazard to the subjects' participation
  • History of active substance abuse within 12 months of screening

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess participant safety & feasibility of study drug administration

    Measured: Study duration is 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To assess AAT treatment on the maintenance of c-peptide production

    Measured: Stimulated c-peptide at year one and two.

  2. Assess the effects of AAT on glycemic variability and A1c.

    Measured: Continuous Glucose Monitoring at one and two years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Alpha 1-Antitrypsin (AAT, Aralast NP) in people with Diabetes and Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 10 inclusion and 17 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 24 Mar 2017. 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 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?

To assess participant safety & feasibility of study drug administration (time frame: Study duration is 2 years). 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 NCT01319331, 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 24 Mar 2017.
