Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Trial Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Teplizumab

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Biological: Placebo
Biological: teplizumab
Registration Number
NCT03875729
Lead Sponsor
Provention Bio, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether teplizumab slows the loss of β cells and preserves β cell function in children and adolescent 8-17 years old who have been diagnosed with T1D in the previous 6 weeks..

Subjects will receive two courses of either teplizumab or placebo treatment 6 months apart.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of teplizumab, a humanized, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, in children and adolescents ages 8 through 17 recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (within 6 weeks of diagnosis). Approximately 300 participants will be randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to either the teplizumab group or the placebo group.

Teplizumab or matching placebo will be administered in two courses 6 months apart. Each course of treatment will include daily infusions for 12 days. The total study duration for each participant will be up to 86 weeks.

The primary objective is to determine whether two courses of teplizumab administered 6 months apart slows the loss of β cells and preserves β cell function over 18 months (78 weeks) in children and adolescents 8-17 years old who have been diagnosed with T1D in the previous 6 weeks.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate improvements in key clinical parameters of diabetes management, to determine the safety and tolerability of teplizumab, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of teplizumab

GroupInterventionDescription
PlaceboPlaceboPlacebo was administered via intravenous infusion in two courses, with the first course starting on Day 1 (Week 1) and the second course approximately 6 months later at Day 182 (Week 26). Participants who were unable to receive the second 12-day course due to COronaVIrus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions were given the second course at approximately 12 months (Week 52 visit). Each course of treatment included daily infusions for 12 days. The placebo solution consisted of the same formulation as the study drug but without teplizumab. Placebo was administered in the same dose volume and by the same treatment schedule as the active drug.
TeplizumabteplizumabTeplizumab was administered via intravenous infusion in two courses, with the first course starting on Day 1 (Week 1) and the second course approximately 6 months later at Day 182 (Week 26). Participants who were unable to receive the second 12-day course due to COronaVIrus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic restrictions were given the second course at approximately 12 months (Week 52 visit). Each course of treatment included daily infusions for 12 days. Each course included: * Day 1: 106 μg/m\^2 * Day 2: 425 μg/m\^2 * Days 3-12: 850 μg/m\^2 Total per course: 9.0 mg/m\^2 The doses of study drug were calculated based on the participant's body surface area (BSA) measured on the first day of each treatment course.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in C-peptide ln(AUC+1) Standardized by Duration of the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT)Baseline to Week 78

The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of C-peptide was measured after a 4-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) and is a measure of endogenous insulin production and β cell function. The AUC was computed using the trapezoidal rule and standardized by the duration of the MMTT test, i.e., AUC was divided by the last blood sample collection time (240 minutes or the last collection time for 4h MMTT).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)During the entire study (from the first dose to the last study contact, up to 78 Weeks)

AESIs are defined in the protocol and categories in the statistical analysis plan. Participants with multiple events are counted only once for each preferred term and category.

Anti-teplizumab Antibody (ADA) Titers After Treatment CoursesBaseline through 78 Week

Baseline was defined as the most recent value collected prior to the first dose of study drug. Week 26 Day 187 and Weeks 27 and 34 are planned for subjects under the normal dosing schedule. Week 52 Day 369 and Weeks 53, 56, and 60 are planned for subjects under the modified dosing schedule.

Change in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Levels (%)Baseline to Week 78

Change in percentage (%) glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)

Time in Range for Glycemia ControlWeek 78

Time in range (%) for glycemia control was assessed using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). Time in range was defined as daily average percentage of time a participant's glucose is \>= 70 mg/dL and \<=180 mg/dL. Time in range was calculated based on participants who had at least 3 days of CGM data recorded for Week 78 visit with a range of at least 8 hours on a given day.

Teplizumab Serum ConcentrationsPre-dose samples collected on Days 1, 4, 9, 12 and 28 for each of the two treatment courses, and one post-dose sample collected on Day 9 during the first treatment course.

PK samples were collected prior to dosing except for Day 9 in Course 1. An additional PK sample was collected 45 minutes after infusion on Day 9 in Course 1. Concentration values below Lower Limit of Quantification (2.50 ng/mL) were set to zero for summary statistics. Course 2 day numbers were set relative to the first day of dosing, regardless of normal or modified dosing schedule.

Average Daily Exogenous Insulin UseWeek 78

The average daily insulin use was calculated based on participants who have at least 3 days of insulin use recorded in the dairy for the Week 78 visit.

Rate of Clinically Important Hypoglycemic EventsDuring the entire study (from the first dose to the last study contact, up to 78 Weeks)

Rate = clinically important hypoglycemic events/patient-year. A clinically important episode was defined as a blood glucose value of \<54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) (i.e., Level 2 Hypoglycemia, International Hypoglycemia Study Group, 2017) or a hypoglycemia event of severe cognitive impairment requiring external assistance (such as seizure, syncope, severe confusion with or without a confirmatory low blood glucose reading) (i.e., Level 3 Hypoglycemia, International Hypoglycemia Study Group 2017). Event rate was calculated for each participant as number of events / total study follow-up time. Total study follow-up time was calculated as (the date of last study contact - the first dose date + 1)/365.25. The summary is based on the data reported post-baseline in the Hypoglycemic Events Electronic Diary (eDiary).

Incidence of Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) After Treatment CoursesFrom baseline through Week 78

Baseline is defined as the most recent value collected prior to the first dose of study drug. Week 26 Day 187 and Weeks 27 and 34 are planned for subjects under the normal dosing schedule. Week 52 Day 369 and Weeks 53, 56, and 60 are planned for subjects under the modified dosing schedule.
