TrialNet Studies

TrialNet mainly conducts two types of studies:

Studies for people who do not have type 1 diabetes, but are at increased risk because they have a family member with the disease:

Study Status Description
Pathway to Prevention Study Recruiting

This study screens and observes relatives of people with type 1 diabetes to learn more about how the disease occurs
The Oral Insulin for Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes Study Recruiting This study tests whether a daily oral insulin capsule can prevent or delay the disease in at-risk relatives of people with type 1 diabetes

Anti-CD3 mAb (Teplizumab) for Prevention Of Diabetes In Relatives At Risk For Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

 Recruiting

This study tests whether teplizumab helps stop or slow down the autoimmune reaction that is destroying beta cells in people who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

CTLA4-Ig (Abatacept) for Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes in Relatives At-Risk

 Recruiting

TrialNet is testing abatacept in persons determined to be at risk, but not yet diagnosed, to see if  it can help delay or prevent  the onset of type 1 diabetes.

The Nutritional Intervention to Prevent Type 1 Diabetes Study No Longer Recruiting A pilot study testing whether docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and omega-3 fatty acid found in some foods can prevent or delay the autoimmunity leading to type 1 diabetes

 

Studies for those recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (within 100 days):

Study Status Description
Anti IL-1Beta (Canakinumab) in Recent Onset Diabetes No Longer Recruiting This study tests whether repeated injections of an experimental medication called canakinumab will help people with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes continue to make some of their own insulin.
Metabolic Control in New Onset Diabetes No Longer Recruiting This study will look at whether early intensive glucose control can help preserve insulin production.
CTLA-4 Ig (Abatacept) in Recent Onset Diabetes

Study completed.

Testing of the drug abatacept, which is already being used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, to try to protect remaining insulin production.
GAD in New Onset Type 1 Diabetes

Study completed.

Click here to see a summary of study findings

 This study is exploring whether treatment with injections of the GAD protein can help preserve insulin production.
The Rituximab Study (Anti-CD20)

Study completed.

Click here to see a summary of study findings

 This study is trying to see if it is possible to stop or slow down the immune system's attack in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients so that the remaining beta cells can survive and keep making some of the insulin your body needs.
The MMF/DZB Study

Study completed.

Click here to see a summary of study findings

 This study will examine whether a combination of two medicines can stop the immune system from destroying beta cells in new onset type 1 diabetes patients (within 3 months of diagnosis).

 

Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet is collaborating with the following NIH-funded groups, also conducting type 1 diabetes research:

Study Status Description
T1DGC No Longer Recruiting

The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) is collecting blood samples and health information from African American and Mexican American individuals with type 1 diabetes, as well as from people who do not have type 1 or type 2 diabetes in their immediate family.
