Reversing Type 1 Diabetes After it is Established
July 16, 2019 updated by: University of Florida
Reversing Type 1 Diabetes After it is Established: A Pilot Safety and Feasibility Study of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (Thymoglobulin®)and Pegylated GCSF (Neulasta®) in Established Type 1 Diabetes
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if giving the combination therapy consisting of Thymoglobulin® (ATG) and Neulasta® (GCSF) to patients with established Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is safe and secondarily, if the ATG and GCSF will preserve insulin production.

Detailed Description
This is a randomized, placebo controlled, phase I/II trial.
Potential subjects will be screened via a 4 hour mixed meal tolerance test to assess residual beta cell (C-peptide) function.
If the C-peptide level at any time is ≥ 0.1 pmol/ml, and the subject meets the additional inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be eligible for randomization and enrollment.
The study will be randomized 2:1 such that 17 subjects will receive active therapy and 8 will receive placebo.
Subjects must receive Thymoglobulin®/ Neulasta® or placebo within 8 weeks of randomization.
Thymoglobulin® (2.5mg/kg)/placebo will be given as 0.5 mg/kg IV on day 1 and 2 mg/kg on day 2. Six doses of Neulasta® (6mg/dose)/placebo will be given as standard of care every 2 weeks, with the first dose given prior to discharge after the Thymoglobulin® infusion.
Complete metabolic panel (CMP) and complete blood count (CBC) will be done at the screening visit, just prior to study drug initiation, daily during the Thymoglobulin® infusion admission, and at follow up visits.
Following discharge, daily phone calls will be made to the subjects during the first 5 days of therapy and weekly thereafter.
In addition, weekly phone calls for the month following completion of therapy will be used to document adverse reactions.
Thereafter calls will be made every two weeks.

Area Under Curve (AUC) C-peptide production.
Subjects underwent a 2 hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) using a 6ml/kg load of boost to stimulate insulin production.
Samples were collected at baseline, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes.
AUC was then calculated.
Subjects repeated the MMTT at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months following ATG/GCSF or placebo.
The primary outcome for the study was the change over 12 months in AUC C-peptide (1 year - baseline) for those who received ATG/GCSF versus the change in AUC C-peptide (1 year - baseline) for those who received placebo
