MELD-ATG: Phase II, Dose Ranging, Efficacy Study of Anti-thymocyte Globulin (ATG) Within 6 Weeks of Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)

Detailed Summary

This study has been set up within the framework of the INNODIA network. INNODIA is a global partnership between 31 academic institutions, 6 industrial partners, a small sized enterprise and 2 patient organizations, bringing their knowledge and experience together with one common goal: "To fight type 1 diabetes". (www.innodia.eu) The overall aim of INNODIA is to advance in a decisive way how to predict, stage, evaluate and prevent the onset and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D). For this, INNODIA has established a comprehensive and interdisciplinary network of clinical and basic scientists, who are leading experts in the field of T1D research in Europe and UK (United Kingdom), with complementary expertise from the areas of immunology, Beta-cell biology, biomarker research and T1D therapy, joining forces in a coordinated fashion with industry partners and two foundations, as well as with all major stakeholders in the process, including regulatory bodies and patients with T1D and their families. The MELD-ATG trial is a phase II, Multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Multi-arm parallel cohort trial. * to investigate the effect of 2.5 mg/kg og ATG on the preservation of stimulated C-peptide at 12 months compared to placebo * to identify the minimally effective dose of ATG that shows an effect on C-peptide when compared to placebo at 12 months
