Study Summary

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing ß cells. Although exogenous insulin is widely available, it is not possible for affected individuals to consistently achieve euglycemia with current technology, and thus they are at risk for devastating long-term complications. This phase II study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate as a novel therapy for new-onset T1DM. Imatinib is a first-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study will explore the potential role of short-term therapy with imatinib to induce tolerance and possibly lead to a durable long-term remission of T1DM.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome of each participant is the area under the stimulated c-peptide curve (AUC) mean based on data collected at time 0 to 2 hours of a 4-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) conducted at the primary endpoint visit. The timed measurements are done at: 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The term "AUC mean" comes from the mean value theorem in calculus. It is the value on the scale of the y-axis that is equal to the AUC divided by the range on the x-axis (in this case 120 minutes).
