Primary Intervention With Mucosal Insulin

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Other: Oral Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02620553
Lead Sponsor
University of Colorado, Denver
Brief Summary

A dose with proven drug bioavailability to the immune system for use in a phase II/III primary T1DM (type 1 diabetes) vaccination trial (POINT study) in genetically at risk subjects.

Study Design Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind/double-masked, multi-center, dose escalation primary intervention pilot study.

Accrual Objective 25 (3:2 randomization to active and control arms)

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety and bioavailability of oral insulin in children with high genetic risk for T1DM in a dose escalation primary intervention pilot study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Daily Evaluation of Blood Glucose LevelsDays 2 through 7

Blood glucose will be measured 60 minutes after the administration of the Insulin.

Change in Blood Glucose LevelsDay 1

Evaluation for hypoglycemia will be measured prior to administration of the insulin (baseline), then at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after administration of the insulin.

Evaluation of Blood Glucose LevelsMeasured 60 minutes after oral insulin dosing, every day during each 4th week, as long as the subject is given oral insulin.

After treatment day 7, Insulin will be administered and measured on a monthly basis.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Total IgE and IgE.2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months

Allergy/intolerance to the study drug evaluated with total IgE and IgE antibodies to insulin at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, then every 6 months thereafter, as well as monitored through self-reporting by families. Parents/guardians will be educated on and instructed to look out for possible allergic reactions to insulin.

T-cell responses related to potential immune response to InsulinDay 1, 15 days, 3 and 6 months.

T-cell responses e.g. antibody and cell mediated immune results will be evaluated the day of administration then at 15 days, 3 and 6 months, and every 6 months of treatment, and will be reported directly to the Data Coordinating Center.
