Type 1 diabetes

Baseline plasma proinsulin response to glucose for predicting therapeutic response to otelixizumab in recent-onset type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Secondary analysis of the otelixizumab placebo-controlled randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In recent-onset type 1 diabetes, elevated acutely glucose-stimulated proinsulin may complement or replace acutely or sustainedly stimulated C-peptide release for identifying good responders to anti-CD3, but not as outcome measure.

Study context

Population
Patients with recent-onset T1D
Participants
80 patients
Comparison
Otelixizumab vs placebo
Primary endpoint
Ability of baseline acutely glucose-stimulated proinsulin, C-peptide and PI/CP to predict functional outcome (change in AUC60-140 C-peptide from baseline)
Follow-up
6, 12 and 18 months
Methodological detailsreanalysis of trial data, Hyperglycemic clamps at baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months: 3 h induced euglycemia, then glycemia raised to ≥ 10 mmol/l for 140 min
  • Reanalysis of trial data
  • Hyperglycemic clamps at baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months: 3 h induced euglycemia, then glycemia raised to ≥ 10 mmol/l for 140 min

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Prediction of preservation of beta cell function in response to anti-CD3
  • Higher baseline (≥median) PI0 independently predicted preservation of beta cell function in response to anti-CD3 (multiple linear regression)
  • PI0 interacted significantly with IAA

Further findings

Change in PI/CP0 and PI0 during follow-up

Anti-CD3 tempered a further increase in PI/CP0, but not in PI0

Post-treatment monitoring

CP0 outperformed PI0 and PI/CP0 for post-treatment monitoring
