Repurposing of Verapamil as a Beta Cell Survival Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Verapamil and Placebo for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of using oral verapamil in subjects with recent onset T1D in order to downregulate TXNIP and enhance the patients' endogenous beta cell mass and insulin production. The objectives are therefore to assess parameters of beta cell survival (including new biomarkers), insulin production and glucose control and the feasibility of this approach and thereby provide the basis for future, larger/expanded, longer-term verapamil studies and the off-label use of this approved drug for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
