Filter by:Over 1.25 million Americans have type 1 diabetes (T1D), increasing risk for early death from cardiorenal disease. The strongest risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in T1D is diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Current treatments, such as control of hyperglycemia and hypertension, are beneficial, but only partially protect against DKD. Hyperfiltration is common in youth with T1D, and predicts progressive DKD. Hyperfiltration is also associated with early changes in intrarenal hemodynamic function, including increased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular pressure. Intrarenal hemodynamic function is strongly influenced by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which is also considered a key player in the pathogenesis of DKD. Preliminary data demonstrate differences in intrarenal hemodynamic function and RAAS activation in early and advanced DKD in T1D. However, the pathophysiology contributing to the differences observed in RAAS activation and intrarenal hemodynamic function in T1D are poorly defined Animal research demonstrates that arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts directly to modify intrarenal hemodynamic function, but also indirectly by activating RAAS. Preliminary data suggest that elevated copeptin, a marker of AVP, which predicts DKD in T1D adults, independently of other risk factors. However, no human studies to date have examined how copeptin relates to intrarenal hemodynamic function in early DKD in T1D. A better understanding of this relationship is critical to inform development of new therapies targeting the AVP system in T1D. Accordingly, in this study, the investigators propose to define the relationship between copeptin and intrarenal hemodynamics in early stages of DKD, by studying copeptin levels, renal plasma flow, and glomerular filtration in youth (n=50) aged 12-21 y with T1D duration < 10 y.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of metformin as additional treatment with insulin on non-obese autoimmune diabetes.
The objective of DIAGNODE-2 is to evaluate the efficacy of Diamyd compared to Placebo, upon administration directly into a lymph node in combination with an oral vitamin D/Placebo regimen, in terms of preserving endogenous insulin secretion as measured by C-peptide.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of ex-vivo expanded umbilical cord blood regulatory T cells adjunct with Liraglutide on autoimmune diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of Liraglutide on autoimmune diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to see if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect on Type 1 diabetes. Published Phase I data on repeat BCG vaccinations in long term diabetics showed specific death of some of the disease causing bad white blood cells and also showed a short and small pancreas effect of restored insulin secretion. In this Phase II study, the investigators will attempt to vaccinate more frequently to see if these desirable effects can be more sustained. Eligible volunteers will either be vaccinated with BCG in a repeat fashion over a period of four years, or receive a placebo treatment. The investigators hypothesize that each BCG vaccination will eliminate more and more of the disease causing white blood cells that could offer relief to the pancreas for increased survival and restoration of insulin secretion from the pancreas. An additional adaptive trial for COVID-19 is also being conducted on these randomized double blinded type 1 diabetic subjects receiving BCG or placebo injections. An expanded study arm has been approved for repeat dosing of BCG in adult Type I diabetes.
To test the function and safety of the Medtronic Overnight Closed Loop (OCL) System in a closely monitored 12 hour overnight inpatient study. Once the safety of the device has been validated we will move the study to an outpatient diabetes camp setting. The camp setting will allow us to obtain pilot efficacy and safety data in a "real-life" environment. We plan to compare the subject control nights to the subject nights on the OCL system to assess the percent of sensor glucose readings in the target range of 70-150 mg/dl. Based on previous research, we anticipate that the use of the OCL system will contribute to a greater percentage of sensor glucose readings in the target range.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the action of DPP-IV inhibitors in the prevention of progressive beta cell dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus newly diagnosis ( less than 6 months). The secondary objectives are: 1. To define the immune and inflammatory profile 2. To define the secretion of glucagon and GLP-1 3. To assess the glycemic variability
Autoimmunity is the main cause of diabetes type 1 and an important factor as cause of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). Recently, research has found that being deficient of T-reg cells is an important cause of autoimmunity. The study hypothesis are: 1. Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than healthy. 2. Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than patients with long duration of the illness. 3. The number of T-reg is negative associated with HLA-risk-haplotype. 4. The number of T-reg is negative associated with LADA. 5. Differences relating to inflammatory cytokines will be seen among patients with newly found diabetes type 1, but not among others.
Background: - Type 1 diabetes (T1D) occurs when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas, resulting in their death. - Insulin injections currently are the best method for controlling blood sugar in individuals with T1D. However, animal studies have shown that the drugs sitagliptin and lansoprazole can help reverse beta cell damage or develop new beta cells. In addition, Diamyd has been shown to weaken the immune process that attacks pancreatic beta cells. Objectives: - To find out whether a combination treatment of sitagliptin, lansoprazole, and Diamyd will help maintain functioning beta cells and/or cause new beta cells to form. - To determine how the drug combination affects insulin doses and blood sugar control. - To determine whether the drug combination affects the immune response involved in T1D.
