Platform Trial to Delay Stage 3 Diabetes: Comparing Teplizumab With ATG
Platform Trial to Delay Stage 3 Diabetes: Comparing Teplizumab With ATG

NCT07216391

RecruitingPhase 2

Sponsor: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Interventions: Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG), Teplizumab

Countries: United States

This is a 2-arm, multi-center, open label study to learn if ATG works the same or better than teplizumab in delaying or preventing Stage 3 Type 1 diabetes. Participants will be administered either 2 infusions of ATG or 14 infusions of teplizumab and will then be followed for at least 12-48 months after administration, depending on timepoint enrolled into the study. If the primary endpoint demonstrates a positive signal and as decided by TrialNet, there is potential for a study extention. This would extend follow-up visits for a possible study duration of about 9 years among the earliest enrollees of the initial study.

Age: 4 Years to 34 Years

Healthy volunteers: No

Study type: INTERVENTIONAL

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Willing to provide informed consent or have a parent or legal guardians provide informed consent when the participant is \<18 years of age.
* Aged ≥4 to \<35 years
* A history of at least two or more diabetes-related biochemical autoantibodies (mIAA, GADA, ICA, IA-2A, ZnT8A) present on the same sample. In the absence of other antibodies, ICA and GADA positivity alone will not suffice for eligibility in this trial.
* Participants must meet ADA stage 2 T1D glycemic criteria\* by TrialNet testing within 100 days of the baseline visit.

  \*The ADA definition of stage 2 T1D is characterized by glucose intolerance or dysglycemia in the presence of two or more islet autoantibodies, impaired fasting glucose (≥ 100mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance (2-hour post 75g glucose load ≥ 140mg/dL), high glucose levels at intermediate time points on OGTT (30, 60, 90 min timepoints of ≥ 200 mg/dL), and/or HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% or ≥ 10% increase in HbA1c within a two year window, with the most recent HbA1c value obtained within 100 days of the baseline visit.
* Participants, regardless of serostatus, must meet all of the following:

  * Be EBV and CMV PCR negative prior to randomization
  * Be EBV and CMV PCR negative within 2 weeks prior to the baseline visit
  * Have no signs or symptoms of a CMV or EBV-compatible illness lasting longer than 7 days within 30 days prior to the baseline visit.
* Be at least 8 weeks from last live immunization at the time of the baseline visit.
* Be willing to forgo vaccines (other than non-live influenza and COVID-19) during the 3 months after study drug treatment period and forgo live vaccines for 12 months after study drug treatment period.
* Must meet TrialNet eligibility minimum immunization recommendations found in Appendix A of the manual of operations (MOO).
* With the exception of stage 2 T1D, participants must be healthy, as defined by absence of any other untreated diagnoses that the investigator deems to be a potential confounder.
* If a female participant with reproductive potential, willing to avoid pregnancy (abstinence or adequate contraceptive method) through the completion of the study infusions and up to 3 months after study drug administration and undergo pregnancy testing prior to each study visit.
* Must be residing or have accommodations within 1 hour of the infusion site during study drug infusions and must be within 1 hour of a medical care facility for 1 day after completion of infusions.
* Participants must live in a location with rapid access to emergency medical services.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Immunodeficiency or clinically significant chronic lymphopenia: (Leukopenia (\<3,000 leukocytes/μL), neutropenia (\<1,500 neutrophils/μL), lymphopenia (\<1000 lymphocytes/μL), thrombocytopenia (\<150,000 platelets/μL).
* Hemoglobin less than 13 g/dL for adult men and less than 11.5g/dL for adult females and less than 11 g/dL for participants under age 18.
* Active signs or symptoms of acute or chronic infection at the time of the baseline visit including SARS-Cov-2.
* Uncontrolled autoimmune thyroid disease and/or celiac disease (participants must be well controlled for the previous 6 months).
* Evidence of prior or current tuberculosis infection through any one or more of the following:

  1. A history of latent or active TB
  2. Signs and/or symptoms of TB
  3. Recent close contact with a person with known or suspected active TB unless appropriate prophylaxis for TB was given
  4. A history of a chest X-ray consistent with active TB or old, inactive TB, or interferon gamma release assay IGRA (QuantiFERON) test
  5. A history of a positive purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test result (\>10 mm induration), or positive/repeatedly indeterminate on an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA; e.g., QuantiFERON-TB test).
* Currently pregnant or lactating or anticipate getting pregnant within the study period.
* Require use of other immunosuppressive agents including chronic use of oral or intravenous injectable steroids.
* Evidence of current or past HIV or Hepatitis B or current Hepatitis C infection.
* Any complicating medical issues or abnormal clinical laboratory results that may interfere with study conduct, or cause increased risk to include pre-existing cardiac disease, COPD, sickle cell disease, Down syndrome, adrenal insufficiency, neurological disease, or blood count abnormalities.
* A history of malignancies other than of skin.
* Evidence of liver dysfunction with AST or ALT ≥ 2 times the upper limit of the reference range.
* Evidence of renal dysfunction with creatinine ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range.
* Increased bilirubin ≥ 2 times (total) or ≥ 1.5 times (direct) the normal limit (Participants with documentation of Gilbert's Disease permitted).
* Vaccination with a live vaccine within the last 8 weeks or killed/inactivated vaccine within the last 2 weeks of the baseline visit.
* Current or ongoing use of non-insulin pharmaceuticals that affect glycemic control within 14 days of screening.
* Prior treatment with Teplizumab or ATG (either in a previous clinical trial or clinically).
* Has previously participated in a clinical trial for diabetes prevention and received active study agent within 6 months of treatment.
* Known allergy to rabbits or rabbit derived products.
* Prior adverse reactions to heparin.
* Any condition that in the investigator's opinion may adversely affect study participation.
* Any screening/baseline laboratory result not otherwise stated out of normal reference range and/or medical history that may increase the risk of the participant's participation in this trial.
* Previously diagnosed with Stage 3 TID according to ADA criteria.
