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. If indicated, participants will enter into long-term safety monitoring for up to an additional 48 weeks. Blood samples for mechanistic analyses will be obtained during the treatment phase and thereafter. Adults aged 18- 45 will be enrolled initially at the study sites. 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: 1. Assess the safety profile of siplizumab in recently diagnosed T1DM. 2. Assess the effects of siplizumab on residual beta cell function in recently diagnosed T1DM participants.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is typically diagnosed in childhood and over time can lead to complications affecting the retina, heart, kidneys, peripheral nerves, and more recently appreciated, the brain. Studies consistently find that early age of onset and, to a more variable extent, poor glycemic control over years are associated with reduced cognitive performance and altered brain structure in children with T1DM. As yet, the investigators' understanding of why early age of onset would pose more risks for the brain is limited, making interventions difficult to develop. Given that the initial clinical presentation of T1DM in children is the earliest and often the most severe glycemic state experienced over the lifetime, it is possible that age of onset and severity of initial clinical presentation interact to modify risks for brain health and development. This hypothesis has clear clinical implications and the potential to resolve conflicting literature, yet has not been explicitly tested. Thus, the goal of this study is to determine how clinical features at the time of T1DM diagnosis, such as hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and degree of beta cell failure, interact with age of onset to shape the development of the brain and its responses to subsequent glycemic control.
This study is an expansion of a previous study done to determine how thinking skills relate to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and certain regions of the brain in children and adolescents. In this study, the investigators are testing thinking skills and measuring brain activity in adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of PROCHYMAL® in participants recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The goal of this study is to determine how a drug class called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) affects people during an early stage of Type 1 Diabetes undergoing clinical teplizumab treatment. This study involves giving participants a liquid meal under different conditions and observing how their bodies respond, focusing on blood sugar levels, insulin effectiveness, and blood vessel function. The meal tests are followed by two post-treatment tests, one with the GLP-1Ra drug and the other with a placebo. Each test involves blood draws before and during the meal test, GLP-1Ra or placebo administration, and an ultrasound to measure blood vessel function. The goal is to see if GLP-1Ra can help manage blood sugar levels and improve cardiovascular health in this population.
This study has been designed as a prospectively enrolled, randomized sequence, 2-way crossover study of device performance, tolerability and safety of an investigational insulin infusion set using a coil-reinforced soft polymer indwelling cannula versus a commercial insulin infusion set using a soft Teflon indwelling cannula, during two 7-day home use periods with 4 in-clinic euglycemic clamp sessions during each of the 7-day periods. After a wash-out period, subjects will cross over into the investigational or control group, respectively.
The scientific goal of this study is to examine the effects of a ketogenic diet on hypoglycemia tolerance and brain function in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and to clarify the mechanistic role of ketones in this process. Glycemic management of T1D is typified by alternating periods of hyper- and hypo-glycemia. Because brain metabolism under usual conditions depends on glucose, acute hypoglycemia leads to immediate complications including impaired cognitive function and a counter-regulatory hormone response. Recurrent hypoglycemia is associated with functional and structural changes in the brain and contributes to the cognitive decline observed in individuals with diabetes. The state of nutritional ketosis (as it occurs during fasting or when following a ketogenic \[very low carbohydrate\] diet) may protect against these acute and chronic complications. As the body relies on fat metabolism, ketone bodies build up and provide an alternative fuel for the brain. Studies during hypoglycemia have shown better cognitive function and less hypoglycemia symptoms in the setting of nutritional ketosis or with ketone administration. This physiological benefit may have special relevance for people with T1D who experience hypoglycemia frequently. To date, no mechanistic studies have examined brain effects of nutritional ketosis in T1D; nor have any trials explored the potential relevance of this for diabetes care.
Despite major technological advances, management of type one diabetes mellitus (T1D) remains suboptimal, putting millions of people at risk for immediate and long-term complications. After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control both problems is dietary carbohydrate restriction to reduce postprandial blood glucose changes and insulin needs. In a prior survey study, the investigators documented exceptional glycemic control (HbA1c 5.67%) and low acute complication rates among 316 children and adults with T1D consuming a very-low-carbohydrate (VLC) diet. Despite these promising preliminary results, the use of VLC diets for T1D remain controversial, because of their restrictive nature and theoretical concerns regarding growth, ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia risks and efficiency of glucagon treatment for hypoglycemia. Glucagon is used as a rescue medication during severe hypoglycemia and increases blood glucose levels by mobilizing liver glycogen stores. If these stores are depleted during carbohydrate restriction, glucagon response may be inadequate and put individuals at risk for refractory hypoglycemia. A physiologic study has shown a blunted but still adequate response to glucagon in n=10 participants after following a VLCD for 1 week. Longer-term studies have not been done. To test the hypotheses that glucagon response remains adequate while following a VLC diet in the longer term, the investigators will conduct a glucagon challenge in participants who are assigned to the VLC arm of a randomized-controlled feeding study in 32 young adults with T1D who will receive a VLC vs a standard diet for 12 weeks. After an overnight fast, twelve participants in the VLC arm will receive IV insulin to lower blood glucose levels to 60 mg/dL, followed by a glucagon injection and monitoring of blood glucose levels and other metabolic fuels.
To assess whether the addition of dapagliflozin to semaglutide and insulin (triple therapy) improves glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes compared with semaglutide and insulin (dual therapy) and insulin only (standard) treatment.
Purpose: To examine the effect of addition of combination therapy with dapagliflozin plus pioglitazone to insulin on glucose control and plasma ketone concentration in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) Research Design: 120 patients with type 1 diabetes who otherwise are healthy constitute the study population. After screening, eligible subjects will start 4 week run in. At week 4, subjects will receive dapagliflozin for 12 weeks. At week 16, subjects will be randomized to receive in a double blind fashion pioglitazone or placebo for 16 weeks. Methods: the following techniques will be employed in the present study: (1) mixed meal tolerance test; (2) indirect calorimetry; (3) continuous glucose monitoring. Clinical Relevance: the results of the present study will demonstrate that the addition of pioglitazone to SGLT2 inhibitor in T1DM patients produces greater reduction in the HbA1c without increasing risk of ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia.

The aim of this extension study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Mylan's insulin glargine and Lantus® in T1DM patients.
The biggest challenges for glycemic control during the day time involve meals and exercise variations, which are impacted by age, fitness level, duration, intensity and history of exercise. Meal variability has the benefit that meals are typically announced and quantified. Glucose control around exercise, on the other hand, is more complicated if the patient doesn't announce a change in activity level.

Phase IB will evaluate the safety of autologous, ex vivo-engineered, co-stimulation impaired dendtritic cells to maintain and improve functional residual beta cell mass in new onset Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients. Efficacy measures will be collected and summarized. Phase IIA will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 randomized treatment groups in new onset T1DM patients to assess if the antisense DNA-treated co-stimulation-impaired immunoregulatory dendritic cells (iDC) will safely preserve and/or increase B-cell mass resulting in improvement and/or normalization of blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin A1c.
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the difference in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to Month 6 using Hylenex recombinant preadministration in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus standard CSII and to evaluate the safety of Hylenex recombinant preadministration, including local tolerability, adverse events, and hypo- and hyperglycemia rates.
Hospitalization of youth with established diabetes is both costly and frequently preventable. Poor glycemic control is a risk factor for hospitalization and is also associated with adolescent age and lower socioeconomic status. This is a randomized, controlled trial for high-risk adolescent youth with T1DM and suboptimal glycemic control with an intervention arm and usual care control arm matched for frequency of contacts. There will be 110 subjects with T1DM and HbA1c\>8%, aged 13 to 17 years, recruited from the Diabetes Program at Boston Children's Hospital and followed for 6 months. The intervention will be implemented by a diabetes nurse educator and social worker, who will each have monthly contact with the adolescent and a parent/guardian through a telehealth (videoconference) visit. Care will be guided by a diabetes action plan. Telehealth interventions have been utilized successfully in both adults and youth with diabetes. They facilitate frequent contact with the care team allowing barriers to adherence to be addressed, education to be reinforced, care plans to be updated, and diabetes-specific family support to be provided.
To examine the effects of different fixed pramlintide:insulin dose ratios in subjects with type 1 diabetes on postprandial plasma glucose concentrations
The investigators are conducting a prospective cross-over study to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on diabetes control and the pro-inflammatory markers involved in microvascular complications in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. The investigators expect to see a significant improvement in glycemic control and a reduction of serum pro-inflammatory markers in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes and vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, who are treated with vitamin D.
In this protocol the investigators plan to demonstrate management of glucose using a modular insulin management system based on continuous glucose monitoring and targeted towards the avoidance of hypoglycemic and prolonged hyperglycemic episodes (i.e. control to range). The protocol is designed to challenge the insulin management system with meals and mild exercise, so as to demonstrate its capacity to avoid large glucose excursion with changing metabolic state. This system is designed to both * monitor the meal boluses of the patient and correct it in case of observed/predicted under insulinization (avoidance of prolonged hyperglycemia), based on a coarse and subjective knowledge of the meal amount, a precise understanding of the subject's day to day insulin treatment, continuous glucose monitoring, and past insulin injections; * predict and avoid hypoglycemic events, based on continuous glucose reading and past insulin injection. The investigators plan to enroll 12 adolescent T1DM patients (expected retention 10/12) and compare glucose control performances under two treatments: standard vs. the new insulin management system. The protocol will include a total of 5 admissions per subject (3 out-patients and 2 in-patients): screening, CGM insertion 1, CGM insertion 2, inpatient 1 and inpatient 2. During the 24h inpatient admissions the patients will be challenged with 30 minutes of mild exercise and 3 meals, insulin coverage of these events will vary depending on the chosen treatment, each subject will be exposed to both studied treatments (repeated measure design). The order of treatment during the inpatient admissions will be randomized.
The aim of this trial is to demonstrate bioequivalence of Glaritus® to Lantus® with regard to its total and to its maximum serum insulin concentrations.
