Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with low dose cyclosporin and methotrexate can inhibit the development of new onset diabetes mellitus


Clinical Trial Description

Objective: Although high doses of cyclosporin (cyclo) inhibits the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus, its usefulness is limited by its toxicity. Since methotrexate (mtx) and cyclo synergistically inhibit other disease processes, we hypothesized that low dose cyclo and mtx therapy could safely induce remission.

Research Design and Methods: In an open pilot study, insulin dose and glycemic control will be compared in children with new onset Type 1 diabetes administered cyclo at 7.5 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks and then 4 mg/kg/day and mtx 5 mg/kg/day for one year with control children. After 6 weeks, doses were adjusted to maintain blood cyclo levels to 100-200 ng/ml. ;
