简要总结
This multi-center randomized controlled trial will assess the safety and efficacy of ATG followed by either adalimumab or verapamil in preserving insulin secretion 2 years from randomization in persons aged 9 to <21 with recent-onset stage 3 T1D.
详细描述
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ATG followed by either adalimumab or verapamil in preserving insulin secretion 2 years from randomization in persons with T1D. The secondary objectives are to assess metabolic and safety endpoints at 2 years and at timepoints between baseline and two years.

ATG (brand name Thymoglobulin) a polyclonal T cell antibody preparation. It will be given at low doses (0.5 mg/kg Day 1 then 2 mg/kg Day 2). This group will receive Verapamil (Oral) placebo or Adalimumab (injectable) placebo.
干预措施: Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (Drug)
ATG + Adalimumab
Low dose ATG (0.5 mg/kg Day 1 then 2 mg/kg Day 2). From the 6-week visit until the 156-week visit, Participants will receive a 40 mg dose injection every other week.
干预措施: Adalimumab (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Stimulated C-peptide AUC
时间窗: Week 104
The primary outcome is the C-peptide in response to a 2-hour MMTT at week 104. 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 120 minutes.
次要结局
- Severe Adverse Events(week13, week 26, week 52, week 78, and week 104)
- Adverse Events(Week 104)
- Severe Hypoglycemia(Week 104)
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)(Week 104)
- Number of Participants with CD4 count <500 mm3(Week 104)
