The purpose of this Phase 11 study was to evaluate if alum-formulated human recombinant GAD65 is safe and does not compromise beta cell function. The study was conducted as a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation clinical trial in a total of 47 Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) patients who received either placebo or 4, 20, 100, or 500 mu g Diamyd subcutaneously at Weeks 1 and 4. Safety evaluations, including neurology, beta cell function tests, diabetes status assessment, hematology, biochemistry, and cellular and Immoral immunological markers, were repeatedly assessed over 24 weeks. None of the patients had significant study-related adverse events (AE). Fasting c-peptide levels at 24 weeks were increased compared with placebo (P = .0015) in the 20 mu g but not in the other dose groups. In addition, both fasting (P = .0081) and stimulated (P = .0236) c-peptide levels increased from baseline to 24 weeks in the 20 mu g dose group. GADA log levels clearly increased (P = .0002) in response to 500 mu g Diamyd. The CD4(+)CD25(+)/CD4(+)CD25(-) cell ratio increased (P = .0128) at 24 weeks in the 20 mu g group. No sudden increase in HbA(1c), or plasma glucose or decrease in beta cell function was observed in any of the dose groups. These positive findings for clinical safety further support the clinical development of Diamyd as a therapeutic to prevent autoimmune diabetes. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
