Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    determine whether intervention with repeated oral administration of recombinant human insulin will prevent or delay the development of clinical type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in non diabetic relatives of patients with T1DM who are positive for insulin autoantibodies but who do not have a metabolic defect. This intervention wil be compared with placebo given in a double-masked fashion. Secondary objectives included the description of the effects of treatment with oral insulin versus placebo in other categories of subjects defined using different combinations of autoantibodies and metabolic status (the Secondary Analysis Strata) and an assessment of the consistency of treatment effect among strata. Secondary objectives also included the assessment of the effects of treatment on immunologic and metabolic markers, and the association of these markers with the risk of diabetes onset, among other possible risk factors.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In what concerns Protecting Against or Minimizing Potential Treatment Risks subjects will not be enrolled who have other active serious medical problems. Regular monitoring of subjects and active inquiry will allow for early identification of adverse events. Adverse events were assessed and adjudicated, if required, by the TrialNet Medical Monitor. The DSMB conducted regular safety reviews approximately every three to six months (and, as needed) of adverse events by treatment group assignment. Serious adverse events, as well as adverse events leading to study discontinuation, were reviewed by the DSMB as needed.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Of a total of 560 randomized participants (median enrollment age, 8.2 years; interquartile range [IQR], 5.7-12.1 years; 170 boys [60%]; 90.7% white non-Hispanic; 57.6% with a sibling with type 1 diabetes), 550 completed the trial including 389 participants (median age, 8.4 years; 245 boys [63%]), 382 (96%) in the main study group.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Eligible subjects were non-diabetic relatives of patients with T1DM, who had normal glucose tolerance on an OGTT, who were confirmed to be mIAA positive on two samples (collections), and who also met the criteria for the following primary and secondary study strata based on other autoantibodies and metabolic characteristics

    All subjects took one capsule of study medication (7.5 mg of recombinant insulin or placebo) daily by mouth for the duration of the study. Study medication was dispensed at each 6-month visit. Subjects remained on the same dose of insulin/placebo throughout the trial. Participants were assigned to receive capsules of either oral insulin, 7.5 mg of recombinant human insulin crystals (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN), or matched placebo.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: The total worldwide for the actual number of subjects enrolled is 562. However, 560 subjects were randomized in this clinical trial.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse event reporting by the investigator to the sponsor was done in 24 hours after the receipt of the event as there were no SUSARs identified during the trial hence no reporting to the competent authorities and ethics committees was required
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    There were no serious adverse events and no reported episodes of severe hypoglycaemia. There were no deaths during this study. The most common adverse event was categorized as infection, with 134 and 120 events reported in this category in the oral insulin and placebo groups, respectively, over the duration of the study.
