About this study

Official title: A Phase I Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Dose Escalation Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immune Responses of Imcyse's IMCY-0098 in Patients With Recent Onset Type 1 Diabetes

This clinical study will evaluate the safety of an innovative approach expected to be disease-modifying by stopping the auto-immune-mediated destruction of islet β-cells in the pancreas. Three doses of the investigational product will be tested in successive cohorts. Although safety is the first objective of this study, we will gather efficacy data and perform a set of immunological tests to further understand the mechanism of action of this new approach in young adults with recent onset type 1 diabetes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of all adverse events reported for subjects

    Safety assessed through measurement and comparison of any reactions or hypersensitivity to IMCY-0098 injection vs placebo. Number of adverse events will also be compared between groups with the addition of safety monitoring blood tests

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of residual beta cell function and markers of metabolic control

    Measured by a change in stimulated C-peptide production, daily insulin usage, glycated haemoglobin levels and glucose levels and excursions from baseline and between groups

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IMCY-0098 in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Imcyse SA at 17 sites in 7 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 11 inclusion and 15 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 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United Kingdom, Belgium, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark and 2 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. 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?

Incidence of all adverse events reported for subjects (time frame: up to 24 weeks). 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 NCT03272269, which also lists 5 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 Sep 2019.
