About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Phase 1b/2a Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Different Doses of AG019 Administered Alone or in Association With Teplizumab in Patients With Clinical Recent-onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of different doses of AG019 administered alone or in combination with teplizumab in participants with recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Read the detailed description

This Phase 1b/2a, multi-center study will be conducted in participants with clinical recent-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D).

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of different doses of AG019 alone as well as AG019 in combination with teplizumab. The secondary objectives of this study are: to obtain pharmacodynamic (PD) data of AG019 alone as well as AG019 in combination with teplizumab; and to determine the potential presence of AG019 in systemic circulation (safety - systemic exposure) and the presence of L. lactis bacteria in fecal excretion (local exposure): Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile.

This study consists of 2 phases:

Phase 1b: this open-label part of the study will investigate the safety and tolerability of 2 different doses of AG019 in 2 age groups (18-40 years of age and 12-17 years of age).

Phase 2a: this randomized, double-blind part of the study will investigate the safety and tolerability of AG019, in combination with teplizumab, in 2 age groups (18-40 years of age and 12-17 years of age).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    Treatment-emergent adverse events assessed by the investigator, review of lab reports and information provided by the participant during site visits and/or participant diary with AG019 alone or with teplizumab

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. AG019 in Systemic Circulation

    The presence of live L. lactis bacteria in blood will be assessed by plating

    Measured: Up to 3 months after initiation of the treatment

  2. L. Lactis-secreted hPINS or hIL-10 in Systemic Circulation

    The presence of L. lactis-secreted hPINS or hIL-10 in the blood will be assessed by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)

    Measured: Up to 3 months after initiation of the treatment

  3. AG019 in Feces

    The presence of L. lactis (live or dead) in feces will be assessed by Q-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction)

    Measured: Up to 8 days after completion of the treatment

  4. C-peptide Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Calculated From a 2 Hour Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) at 12 Months

    MMTT-stimulated 2-hour C-peptide AUC was defined as the mean area under the C-peptide level time curve over the 2-hour period divided by the duration after a mixed-meal tolerance test.

    Measured: up to 12 months

Model description
The phase 1b part of the study will enroll 4 sequential AG019 cohorts of up to 6 participants, in ascending dose cohorts and descending age cohorts. All participants in these cohorts will be treated with AG019 in an open label fashion. The phase 2a part of the study will evaluate 2 cohorts of participants administered AG019 and teplizumab. The first 2 participants will be treated with active treatment in an open label fashion. Participants 3-12 will be randomized (4:1) to receive active treatment or placebo in a double-blind fashion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AG019 - Low Dose, Teplizumab and AG019 - High Dose in people with Diabetes type1, run by Precigen Actobio T1D, LLC at 18 sites in 2 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 7 inclusion and 13 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 1 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, Belgium. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Feb 2023). 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?

Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 NCT03751007, which also lists 2 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 1 Feb 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
