简要总结
To assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment used in the separate groups of pediatric participants with DM1 stage 1 treated with two-dose combination regimen of Tregs and rituximab over placebo, rituximab alone, and Tregs alone.

- •HbA1c level (%) <5,7% (acc. to ADA)
- •Positive autoantibody titres (ICA, IAA, GAD, IA-2/ICA512, ZnT8) - low titers of two or more antibodies (2-4 times the normal*); if high titer of one of the antibodies (≥ 4 times the norm, not applicable to ICA) re-screening allowed (the participant can be included in the trial only after confirming two or more antibodies)

主要结局
Cumulative diabetes incidence [only the progression to stage 3 considered as diabetes incidence].

(The analysis will cover the percentage of participants in each group who are in stage 2 type 1 diabetes mellitus, i.e., presence of autoantibodies, dysglycemia or stage 3 at year 1 and every year thereafter after the first dose of Tregs/placebo)
Number of adverse events reported 1 year, 2 years after the first dose of Tregs and at the end of the trial comparing to control arms
Number of adverse events reported 1 year, 2 years after the first dose of Tregs and at the end of the trial comparing to control arms
次要结局
- Pace of diabetes development. Total number of days from the date of diagnosis of stage 2 to the date of onset of full-blown type 1 diabetes mellitus (stage 3 of type 1 diabetes mellitus) in each group (normalized to the number of person/days in each group)
- C-peptide levels [fasting/post MMTT stimulation (AUC)] 1 year, 2 years after the first dose of Tregs and then annually until the end of the trial comparing to control arms
- Daily average dose of insulin per kg body weight (DDI) 1 year, 2 years after the first dose of Tregs, and annually thereafter until the end of the trial in each arm of the study
- Number of participants per arm in remission 1 year, 2 years after the first dose of Tregs, and annually thereafter until the end of the trial, [remission defined as daily insulin dose is less than 0.5U/kg/day with an HbA1c level less than 6.5%]
- Assessment of the incidence and severity of adverse events associated with the administration of Treg preparation or anti-CD20 antibody, primarily the effects of immunosuppression: incidence of infections of any etiology and de novo tumors detected
- Percentage of participants in each group who are still in stage 1 type 1 diabetes mellitus, i.e., presence of autoantibodies and normoglycemia
