About this study

Official title: Primary Intervention With Mucosal Insulin for Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes in Infants at High Genetic Risk to Develop Diabetes POINT (Primary Oral Insulin Trial) A Dose Finding and Safety Study ( Pre-POINT )

A dose with proven drug bioavailability to the immune system for use in a phase II/III primary T1DM (type 1 diabetes) vaccination trial (POINT study) in genetically at risk subjects.

Study Design Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind/double-masked, multi-center, dose escalation primary intervention pilot study.

Accrual Objective 25 (3:2 randomization to active and control arms)

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety and bioavailability of oral insulin in children with high genetic risk for T1DM in a dose escalation primary intervention pilot study.

Type 1 Diabetes
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Human InsulinDrug

    Also called Oral Insulin

    There is a study drug dose increase once during the study. The dose increase will occur 6 months after entering into the study. A total of 6 children will be included at each dose (3 children will not have received insulin prior to entering the study and 3 children will have received a lower dose of insulin for 6 months). Further dose increases or more frequent dose increases in individual children will not be performed during Pre-POINT. Escalation will occur in both treatment and placebo group so that participants and study investigators will remain blinded to treatment throughout the study. First dose (2.5 mg oral insulin/day) Second dose (7.5 mg oral insulin/day) Third dose (22.5 mg oral insulin/day) Fourth dose (67.5 mg oral insulin/day)

  • Oral PlaceboOther

    Oral Placebo is given orally daily

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Blood Glucose Levels

    Evaluation for hypoglycemia will be measured prior to administration of the insulin (baseline), then at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after administration of the insulin.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Daily Evaluation of Blood Glucose Levels

    Blood glucose will be measured 60 minutes after the administration of the Insulin.

    Measured: Days 2 through 7

  3. Evaluation of Blood Glucose Levels

    After treatment day 7, Insulin will be administered and measured on a monthly basis.

    Measured: Measured 60 minutes after oral insulin dosing, every day during each 4th week, as long as the subject is given oral insulin.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Total IgE and IgE.

    Allergy/intolerance to the study drug evaluated with total IgE and IgE antibodies to insulin at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, then every 6 months thereafter, as well as monitored through self-reporting by families. Parents/guardians will be educated on and instructed to look out for possible allergic reactions to insulin.

    Measured: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months

  2. T-cell responses related to potential immune response to Insulin

    T-cell responses e.g. antibody and cell mediated immune results will be evaluated the day of administration then at 15 days, 3 and 6 months, and every 6 months of treatment, and will be reported directly to the Data Coordinating Center.

    Measured: Day 1, 15 days, 3 and 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Human Insulin in people with 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 12 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 20 Apr 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. 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 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 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?

Change in Blood Glucose Levels (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02620553, 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 20 Apr 2017.
