| New-onset type1 Diabetes | Drug: Ladarixin Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
This is a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. It has been designed to further evaluate whether ladarixin is effective in preserving beta-cell function and slowing-down the progression of T1D) in patients with a more severe disease presentation.
The study is planned to be performed at about 40 study centers in EU, US and in other countries, if appropriated. At each study center, the Principal Investigator (PI) will be responsible for ensuring that the investigation is conducted according to the signed Investigator agreement, the protocol, GCP guidelines, and local regulations.
The study is planned to involve -327 patients with new-onset T1D, to include about 200 adolescents (14-17 years). Patients will be randomly (2:1) assigned to receive either ladarixin treatment (400 mg b.i.d. for 13 cycles of 14 days on/14 days off - treatment group) or matched placebo (control group). The two groups will be balanced within centers.
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Estimated Enrollment : | 327 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Intervention Model Description: | Patients will be randomly (2:1) assigned to receive either ladarixin treatment (400 mg b.i.d. for 13 cycles of 14 days on/14 days off - treatment group) or matched placebo (control group). The two groups will be balanced within centers. |
| Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
| Masking Description: | The study will proceed under double-blind condition up to month 18 visit of the last patient randomized. Thereafter, the blind will be broken and remaining follow-up will proceed in an open fashion. This approach will allow to anticipate access to efficacy data without significantly affecting data integrity. |

- Change from baseline in 2-hour AUC of C-peptide response to the Mixed Model Tolerance Test (MMTT) [ Time Frame: Month 12 ]C-peptide level is an indirect measure of pancreatic beta-cell function. The MMTT was performed after an overnight fast, at baseline
- Change from baseline in HbA1c [ Time Frame: Month 12 ]
HbA1c measurement can be used as a diagnostic test for diabetes providing that stringent quality assurance tests are in place and assays are standardised to criteria aligned to the international reference values, and there are no conditions present which preclude its accurate measurement.
An HbA1c of 6.5% is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value of less than 6.5% does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests.
- Change from baseline in 2-hour AUC of C-peptide response to the MMTT [ Time Frame: Months 6, 18 and 24 ]C-peptide level is an indirect measure of pancreatic beta-cell function. The MMTT was performed after an overnight fast, at baseline
- Change in HbA1c from baseline [ Time Frame: Months 6, 18 and 24 ]HbA1c measurement can be used as a diagnostic test for diabetes providing that stringent quality assurance tests are in place and assays are standardised to criteria aligned to the international reference values, and there are no conditions present which preclude its accurate measurement. An HbA1c of 6.5% is recommended as the cut point for diagnosing diabetes. A value of less than 6.5% does not exclude diabetes diagnosed using glucose tests.
- Time in range (TIR) by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]
Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) continually monitors glucose plasma levels through an external device that's attached to the body, and gives real-time updates.Time in range is the amount of time the patient spends in the target blood sugar (blood glucose) range-between 70 and 180 mg/dL for most people.
The time in range method works with the individual CGM's data by looking at the amount of time blood sugar has been in target range and the times it has been high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia).
This data is helpful in finding out which types of foods and what activity level causes patient's blood sugar to rise and fall.
- Proportion of patients with HbA1c <7% who did not experience severe hypoglycemic events during treatment [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]For the purpose of this study, a severe hypoglycemic event is defined as an event with one of the following symptoms: "memory loss, confusion, uncontrollable behavior, irrational behavior, unusual difficulty in awakening, suspected seizure, seizure, loss of consciousness, or visual symptoms", in which the subject was unable to treat him/herself and which was associated with either a blood glucose level <54mg/dL or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, i.e. glucose, or glucagon administration.
- Average (previous 3 days) daily insulin requirement (IU/kg/day) [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]
For the purpose of this study, daily insulin is averaged over the previous 3 days.Insulin requirement (IU/kg/day averaged over the previous 3 days) was to be recorded to Months 6, 12, 18 and 24.
Patients were admitted to intensive diabetes management, according to current ADA recommendation [2014]. Patients were instructed to self-monitor their glucose values at least 4 times a day and to report (glucose meter/log) outcome to the diabetes management team. Insulin intake was adjusted to target HbA1c levels of less than 7% and self-monitored (fingerstick):
- pre-prandial blood glucose of 70-130 mg/dL
- post-prandial blood glucose < 180 mg/dL
- bed-time blood glucose of 110-150 mg/dL
- Proportion of patients with HbA1c <7% and daily insulin requirement <0.5 (IU/kg/day) [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]The sample size of the study is calculated on the "proportion of patients with a HbA1c < 7% and daily insulin requirement <0.50 IU/Kg/day", a post-hoc composite endpoint derived from data of the phase 2 trial (MEX0114), considering a larger effect size expected from the longer treatment length (one year versus 3 months). Follow-up is extended up to 24 months to evaluate the potential persistency of any glycemic benefit.
- Number of self-reported episodes of severe hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]For the purpose of this study, a severe hypoglycemic event is defined as an event with one of the following symptoms: "memory loss, confusion, uncontrollable behavior, irrational behavior, unusual difficulty in awakening, suspected seizure, seizure, loss of consciousness, or visual symptoms", in which the subject was unable to treat him/herself and which was associated with either a blood glucose level <54mg/dL or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, i.e. glucose, or glucagon administration.
- Percentage of patients not requiring insulin therapy [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]This outcome aims to assess the % of patients who do not require an insulin therapy
- Estimated Glucose Disposal Rate (eGDR) [ Time Frame: Months 6, 12, 18, 24 ]Estimated Glucose Disposal Rate (eGDR) is a marker for the Assessment of Insulin Resistance and a validated clinical tool for estimating insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes.
