This is a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional study that focuses on the long- term effects following participation in selected ITN new-onset Type1 Diabetes Mellitus studies with immunomodulatory agents (T1DM, T1D).
This observational study will:
- follow participants to determine how long they continue to produce insulin, and
- will also assess how changes in the immune system over time relate to the ability to produce insulin.
This information could help design better therapies for type 1 diabetes in the future.
Condition or disease |

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus T1DM T1D |
Depending upon a participant's level of insulin production, participation may be as short as one return visit or a maximum of five years. Evaluation visits will include:
- Overall health assessments
- Blood and urine collections
- Mixed meal tolerance test (MMTTs) for certain participants, per protocol.

Group/Cohort |
---|
Group 1: Detectable C-peptide by MMTT
Participants with detectable C-peptide at their:
Detectable C-peptide is defined as a value above the lower limit of detection. |
Group 2:Undetectable C-peptide by MMTT
Participants without detectable C-peptide at their:
Undetectable C-peptide is defined as a value below the lower limit of detection. |
- Change in Beta Cell Function by MMTT-Stimulated Mean C-peptide Area Under the Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]
Evaluation of changes in beta cell function over time will be measured by mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) -Stimulated mean C-Peptide area under the curve (AUC).
C-peptide is released by the pancreas into the bloodstream in equal amounts to insulin and reflects how much insulin pancreatic beta cells are making. The standardized MMTT evaluates whether beta cells are producing endogenous insulin.
Detectable C-peptide is defined as any value during a MMTT of ≥0.15 ng/mL.
- Change in Insulin Use in Units per Kilogram Body Weight Per Day [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]The need to use exogenous insulin is an indication that the body is not producing enough endogenous insulin. Higher amounts of insulin use indicate higher disease activity.
- Change in HbA1C [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a measure of the average plasma concentration of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous three months and measures the level of optimal management of underlying disease.
- Count of Participant-Reported Major Hypoglycemic Events [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]Major hypoglycemic events are defined as a glucose concentration <55 mg/dL (grades 2-5, NCI-CTCAE version 4.03), or clinically: involving seizure(s) or involving loss of consciousness (coma), or requiring assistance from another individual in order to recover.
- Time to Undetectable C-Peptide [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]To assess the longevity of beta cell function, time to undetectable C-peptide will be evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.
- Frequency of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AEs) of Interest [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]
Events of interest include but are not limited to:
- Opportunistic and serious infections
- Malignancy
- Cardiovascular disease
- Development of autoimmune disease(s)
- Hypersensitivity reactions to unrelated allergens
Reference for Grade 3 or higher AEs: National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 4.03 (June 14, 2010).
- Severity of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AEs) of Interest [ Time Frame: Baseline (Visit 0) to Month 60 (Year 5) ]
Events of interest include but are not limited to:
- Opportunistic and serious infections
- Malignancy
- Cardiovascular disease
- Development of autoimmune disease(s)
- Hypersensitivity reactions to unrelated allergens
Reference for Grade 3 or higher AEs: National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 4.03 (June 14, 2010).
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
- Blood or urine tests as needed to follow-up on potential long term safety concerns with a particular therapeutic agent
- Blood and urine samples for additional studies related to your diabetes
