Hybrid Closed Loop Therapy and Verapamil for Beta Cell Preservation in New Onset Type 1 Diabetes (CLVer): Extension Study

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Type1 Diabetes

• Registration Number: NCT06177691
• Lead Sponsor: Jaeb Center for Health Research

Brief Summary

The purpose of this extension study is to continue to follow the participants who completed the CLVer RCT for up to 3 additional years. The goal for Cohort A is to evaluate the longer-term effects of verapamil on preservation of β-cell function as measured by C-peptide levels obtained during a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). For both Cohorts A and B, the goal is to determine if the high degree of glycemic control achieved during CLVer with HCL can be maintained once the intensive engagement of the study team is discontinued. At the completion of the RCT, study treatments end. Thus, during the extension study, diabetes management is performed as part of usual care and there is no study treatment.

Detailed Description

Participants who complete the CLVer RCT will be eligible to enroll in the CLVer Extension Study. Informed consent and assent, when applicable, will be obtained. Participants will be contacted every 3 months at which time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data will be obtained if a CGM device is being used and medical history (including recent point-of-care or local laboratory HbA1c values) will be reviewed; a usual care visit performed by study staff may be considered a study contact. A study visit will occur yearly to update the diabetes and medical history, measure height and weight, determine Tanner staging, download CGM data if available, perform an MMTT, and obtain blood samples for central lab measurement of HbA1c and plasma for storage if consented. Other than the central lab samples, there are no study-specific procedures or data collection that would not be performed as part of standard care.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
C-peptide	Randomization, 13, 26, 39 weeks, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4	The primary outcome is the C-peptide measured during the MMTT annually. This is measured as the area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (AUC). AUC is computed using a trapezoidal rule, which is a weighted sum of the C-peptide values over the 120 min. Peak C-peptide also will be computed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Hospitalizations	Year 4	Frequency of hospitalizations by cohort group.
HbA1c	Randomization, 13, 26, 39 weeks, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4	HbA1c outcomes, measured annually, will include the following: * Mean HbA1c; * Percentage of participants with an HbA1c \<7.5%, \<7.0% and \<6.5%
Severe hypoglycemia episodes	Year 4	Frequency of episodes of severe hypoglycemia by cohort group.
CGM Metrics	6, 13, 26, 39 weeks, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4	CGM metrics will be computed for each time point of data collection. CGM-derived indices will be computed for 24 hours, daytime (6AM to midnight) and nighttime (midnight to 6AM). The Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) will describe how CGM derived indices will be calculated. The following metrics will be computed: * Mean glucose; * Percentage of sensor glucose from 70 to 180 mg/dL; * Percentage of sensor glucose \>180 and \>250 mg/dL; * Percentage of sensor glucose \<54 and \<70 mg/dL; * Coefficient of variation
Diabetic ketoacidosis events	Year 4	Frequency of episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis by cohort group.
