DESIGNATE: Siplizumab in T1DM
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, Phase Ib, open-label, siplizumab dose-finding study in individuals aged 8-45 years with a Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) diagnosis. within 18 months of V0. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to one of four possible siplizumab dosing arms. All dosing arms will receive weekly siplizumab doses for a total of 12 weeks. After the completion of treatment, participants will undergo follow-up visits at weeks 12, 24, 36 and 52 which include longitudinal MMTTs. Blood samples for mechanistic analyses will be obtained during the treatment phase and thereafter.
The primary objective is to identify a safe, metabolically favorable, dosing regimen for siplizumab in patients with type 1 diabetes that induces changes in T cell phenotypes observed with alefacept therapy in new-onset T1DM.
The secondary objectives are to:
-
Assess the safety profile of siplizumab in recently diagnosed T1DM.
-
Assess the effects of siplizumab on residual beta cell function in recently diagnosed T1DM participants.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Acceptable T cell phenotype signature by the change from baseline in the Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD1) during first 12 weeks. [From week 0 (baseline) to week 12]
Evaluating four siplizumab dosing regimens for induction of a T cell phenotype signature based on the 20% increase or greater from baseline in PD1. The primary analysis will identify siplizumab doses with acceptable safety profiles and favorable changes in the T cell phenotype in each age cohort. The primary assessments will be made during the first 12 weeks with an interim analysis for futility after 5th per protocol participant (PP) per dosing arm reaches Week 12 in each age cohort.
- Acceptable T cell phenotype signature by the change from baseline in the T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) during first 12 weeks. [From week 0 (baseline) to week 12]
Evaluating four siplizumab dosing regimens for induction of a T cell phenotype signature based on the 20% increase or greater from baseline in TIGIT. The primary analysis will identify siplizumab doses with acceptable safety profiles and favorable changes in the T cell phenotype in each age cohort. The primary assessments will be made during the first 12 weeks with an interim analysis for futility after 5 PP per dosing arm reach Week 12 in each age cohort.
- Acceptable T cell phenotype signature by the change from Baseline in the frequency within circulating cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) Tem cells during first 12 weeks. [From week 0 (baseline) to week 12]
Evaluating four siplizumab dosing regimens for induction of a T cell phenotype signature based on the 20% increase or greater from baseline in frequency on CD4 Tem. The primary analysis will identify siplizumab doses with acceptable safety profiles and favorable changes in the T cell phenotype in each age cohort. The primary assessments will be made during the first 12 weeks with an interim analysis for futility after 5 PP per dosing arm reach Week 12 in each age cohort.
- Acceptable T cell phenotype signature by the change from baseline in the CD4 Treg/Tem ratio [From week 0 (baseline) to week 12]
Evaluating four siplizumab dosing regimens for induction of a T cell phenotype signature based on the 75% increase or greater from baseline in the Treg/Tem ratio
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of Adverse Event (AEs) in all siplizumab dosing arms [From week 0 to week 52]
AE will include any untoward medical occurrence associated with siplizumab administration or any study-mandated procedure
- Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT)-stimulated mean 2-hour C-peptide AUC [At Week 12, 24, 36, 52]
The mean 2-hour C-peptide AUC, measured in pmol/ml, is computed by dividing the total AUC by 120 minutes
- Insulin use (U/kg/day) [At Weeks 6, 12, 24, 36 and 52.]
Measured as U/kg body weight/day; participants should record the type and amount of insulin they have used during the 5-day period immediately preceding the beginning of treatment, middle of treatment, end of treatment, and at all follow-up visits
