An Innovative Approach Towards Understanding and Arresting Type 1 Diabetes (INNODIA)

INNODIA is a global consortium linking 26 academic institutions, 4 industrial partners, a small to medium enterprise (SME), and 2 patient organisations, bringing their knowledge and experience together with one common goal: "To fight type 1 diabetes". (www.innodia.eu). The project, approved in November 2015 and launched in January 2016, runs under the framework of the Innovative Medicines Initiative - Joint Undertaking (https://www.imi.europa.eu/projects-results/project-factsheets/innodia) with a dedicated governance structure ensuring close interaction, communication and adherence to the objectives and deliverables of the consortium. 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, 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. One of the objectives of INNODIA is to develop a new European clinical research network with standardized protocol based on repeated measures of C-peptide (including home measurements) and comprehensive collection of appropriate biological samples for 'omics', immune, viral and microbiome studies in new onset T1D patients and high-risk auto-antibody positive subjects. A protocol for the harmonization of sample collections in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients and first degree relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes was developed following extensive preliminary work involving partners from across all specialities. Core laboratories with experience in their respective field were set up for analysis of auto-antibodies, fresh immune cells, handling of frozen immune cells, C-peptide measures. A series of standard operating procedures for sample collections and analysis were agreed. Sample tracking between clinical centres and central laboratories was included into a purposely designed electronic case report form (eCRF) into which all clinical and laboratory data collected are captured.

The Artificial Pancreas in Very Young Children With T1D

The suggested clinical trial is part of the KidsAP project funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme with additional funding by JDRF. The project evaluates the use of the Artificial Pancreas (or closed loop system) in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to 7 years. The suggested trial is an outcome study to determine whether 24/7 automated closed loop glucose control will improve glucose control as measured by time in range compared to sensor augmented pump therapy. In the extension phase, the purpose is to evaluate the effect of long-term home use of 24/7 automated hybrid closed loop insulin delivery on glucose control (UK sites only). The study adopts an open-label, multi-centre, multi-national, randomised, two period, cross-over design study, contrasting a 4 month period during which glucose levels will be controlled either by a closed loop system (intervention group) or by sensor augmented pump therapy (control group). The two intervention periods will last 4 months each with a 1 to 4 weeks washout period in between. The order of the two interventions will be random. A total of up to 80 young children aged 1 to 7 years with T1D on insulin pump therapy (aiming for 72 randomised subjects) will be recruited through paediatric outpatient diabetes clinics of the investigation centres. Prior to the use of study devices, participants and parents/guardians will receive appropriate training by the research team on the safe use of the study pump and continuous glucose monitoring device, and the hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system. Carers at nursery or school may also receive training by the study team if required. During the closed loop study arm, subjects and parents/guardians will use the closed loop system for 4 months under free-living conditions in their home and nursery/school environment without remote monitoring or supervision by research staff. During the control study arm, subjects and parents/guardians will use sensor augmented pump therapy for 4 months under free-living conditions in their home and nursery/school environment. All subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. The primary endpoint is time spent in target range, between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises assessment of the frequency and severity of hypoglycaemic episodes and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). During the extension phase, participants will have follow-up contacts every 3 months. The primary endpoint is time spent in target range, between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l as recorded by CGM, over 18 months from the end of the primary phase, as compared to sensor augmented pump therapy during the primary phase. Secondary outcomes as well as safety and utility will be assessed as per primary phase.
