About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of siltuximab on immune cell functions in patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single center, non-randomized (patients are not assigned by chance to treatment groups), Mechanistic Study (a study that focuses on the biologic activity of the drug, rather than on disease treatment). Up to 10 patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) will be enrolled in the study. Participants will receive a single dose of siltuximab and blood samples will be obtained a total of 6 times until 12 weeks after dosing. Cells will be isolated from the blood samples and used to measure specific activities of cells in the immune system. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and physical examination will be performed throughout the study. The end of study is the date of the last assessment for the last patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Siltuximab in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Carla Greenbaum, MD 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 6 inclusion and 20 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 2 Nov 2018. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 9 Oct 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in IL-6 Stimulated Intracellular p-STAT3 at Week 12 (time frame: 0-to-12 weeks). 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 2 Nov 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
