Towards Simple & Non-invasive Assessment of Residual Beta-cell Function in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Type 1 diabetes is condition in which progressive autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells leads to absolute insulin deficiency. At the time of clinical presentation, it is estimated that 50-80% of beta-cell function has been lost. Good glycaemic control from diagnosis has been shown to preserve beta-cell function. The recent identification of immuno-interventions able to reduce autoimmune destruction and preserve beta-cell function has lead to an increased urgency to develop such tools.

With mixed-meal stimulated serum C-peptide being a gold standard, there are currently no tests that are suited for use in clinical practice to detect and monitor residual beta cell function. There is a therefore a need for a test that is sufficiently sensitive to assess beta cell function reserve in Type 1 diabetes for clinical practice purposes, which will be simple, reproducible and suitable for use even in the non-observed setting.

Using mixed meal stimulation of plasma C-peptide (stable by-product in insulin secretion that reliably reflects insulin production) response as a reference, we propose to compare mixed meal stimulated urinary C-peptide as potential candidate for this application. This is a pilot investigation in which a sample of 30 participants will be recruited.

It is anticipated that the current project will identify a simple method for analysing beta cell reserve in Type 1 diabetes. This will then be applied to screening clinic populations of recently diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim will be to identify subjects who may be suitable for early intensified insulin regimes (e.g. insulin pump therapy) and novel immuno-intervention strategies designed to preserve residual beta cell function and improve long-term outcomes. Currently such immunointervention has been reserved for subjects within 3 months of diagnosis only, excluding a significant number of subjects who may potentially benefit.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
