Immune Modulation for Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes Peter A. Gottlieb, MD Barbara Davis Center University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Denver, CO
Main Points • Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease • It is a predictable disease with different phases • Approaches to prevention and cure are possible. • New insulins, medications and devices will improve therapy in the coming decade.

Type 1a Diabetes: An Autoimmune Disorder • Autoantibodies to islet proteins: insulin, GAD 65, IA-2 (ICA512) • T cell responses to islet proteins • HLA association • Immunosuppressive drugs can ameliorate the disorder – ex. Cyclosporine • Recurrence of autoimmunity in pancreas transplants between monozygotic twins

Secondary Prevention • Goal - induction of diabetes remission and preservation of C-peptide • non-antigen-specific interventions • antigen specific interventions

Preservation of Pancreatic Production of Insulin (POPPI) study(Mycophenolate Mofetil and Zenapax) • MMF protects BB rats from developing DM and is effective in islet allograft transplantation in mice • MMF effective in a number of autoimmune conditions and in transplantation • DZB effective as part of Edmonton protocol and in other transplantation regimens • Anti-IL2R Ab protects BB rat, but not NOD islet grafts • IL2-Receptor + Cells increased at diagnosis of DM • IL-2R+, CD4hi population harbors autoreactive T cells (mouse and man) • Relative known toxicities of drugs are low
Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) • Inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) • Inhibits de novo pathway of guanosine nucleotide synthesis • T and B cells need de novo pathway (other cell types use salvage pathway)
APC MHC T cell TCR MMF: Mode of action • Blocking of activated T and B cell proliferation and antibody formation • Does not block IL-1, IL-2 production IL-2 Greenbaum, C Benaroya Research Institute Seattle, WA
MMF (CellCept) • An immunosuppressive medication that is most commonly used to prevent transplant rejection. • Capsules, taken by mouth, twice a day for two years. • Most common side effects: Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, decreased white blood cells.
MMF Toxicities • Leukopenia • Gastrointestinal • Increased rate of viral infections • Lymphoproliferative disorder? No increase in multidrug regimens. No increase in single drug use (Psoriasis). • Cancer? (Psoriasis data – No).

POPPI Study • 3 arm study: MMF alone, MMF and 2 doses of DZB and placebo • 60 subjects per arm, 180 total, through TrialNet centers (6 initially) • Type 1 diabetes (autoantibodies) within 12 weeks of diagnosis • Ages 12-35, without significant other disease • Outcomes: HbA1c, C-peptide, hypoglycemia, T cell assays • Start Date: July 27, 2005. 23 patients enrolled.
Potential Benefits of the Study • Patient will be the most important part of a research team that is attempting to learn more about type 1 diabetes. • Diabetes may be easier to manage. • Less chance for long-term complications of diabetes.

hOKT3g1(Ala-Ala) Binds to CD3 hOKT3g1(Ala-Ala) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD3 (T cell receptor) on human T cells. The drug is a “humanized” antibody with a mutation in the Fc chain to prevent binding to the Fc receptor. Binding to the Fc receptor and crosslinking of the CD3 molecule is thought to activate T cells, cause release of cytokines, and account for the toxicity of OKT3. Ala-Ala

Antigen Specific Therapy • Magic bullet Approach • Targets autoreactive cells • Generates protective cells • Spares rest of immune system • Minimal Toxicity • Timing may be critical to efficacy
Insulin • Beta Cell Specific • Predominant T-cell reactivity islets NOD • Insulin expressed lymphoid tissue by dendritic and macrophage-like cells • Thymic messenger RNA for insulin related to “protective” insulin allele • Proinsulin expression in thymus prevents NOD diabetes

NBI 6024-003 New Onset TrialAltered Peptide Ligand B:9-23 • Double-blind Phase I/II trial to test safety and efficacy of an altered insulin peptide ligand • Forty Patients (12-40) were randomized to receive 5 doses of NBI-6024 (0.1mg, 1.0 mg, or 5.0mg) or placebo biweekly and monthly. • No side effects. No obvious benefit to subjects, but study was primarily a safety study. • Evidence of immunologic effect on T cells was observed in a dose dependent fashion in adolescent groups particularly.
