Childhood Type 2 Diabetes Study of a Single Dose of "LY3209590" a Weekly Insulin Injection

The aim of this study is to evaluate safety, and tolerability of insulin LY3209590 following a single dose given to children with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This will be the first study to evaluate LY3209590 in pediatric patients with T2DM.

Screening:

All participants will be screened up to 28 days prior to dosing.

Treatment and Assessment Period:

On Day 1, participants will receive a single 100-Unit subcutaneous dose of LY3209590 at the clinical research unit.

Follow up research visits will be performed on Days 3, 5, 7, 15, 29, 43, and 65. Blood sampling and safety assessments will be performed at each in clinic visit. Before each study visit, subjects will need to fast for at least 8 hours.

A follow-up telephone call will be performed on approximately Day 72. The total time for participation is the study is about 100 days.

Phase: Phase I

Designate - Siplizumab in T1DM

The goal of this study is to identify a safe dosing regimen for siplizumab in participants with type 1 diabetes. Siplizumab is a drug used to help treat recent onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study is interested in participants aged 18-45 years with T1DM, who are within 18 months of receiving their diagnosis. Participants will be randomized (selected at random by the study team) to one of four possible treatment groups. All groups will receive weekly siplizumab doses administered subcutaneously (injected into the body through the skin) for a total of 12 weeks.

Phase: Phase I

Moderna mRNA Clinical Trial for Patients with GSD 1a

Our team has partnered with Moderna on a clinical trial for patients with glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1a). We would like to invite you to take part in a clinical trial for an mRNA investigational drug that could potentially correct the cause of GSD1a, by teaching your body to break down glycogen, correct low glucose, and avoid starch intake. The purpose of this trial is to see if a new investigational mRNA study drug, called mRNA-3745, is safe and if it works in the way researchers expect. mRNA technology uses messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), an instructional molecule that naturally occurs in the body and carries information to cells. In this case, we are studying if mRNA-3745 given through an IV infusion can instruct the body to make the protein that is missing in people with GSD1a.

mRNA-3725 is not approved by the FDA; the FDA has allowed us to provide this investigational medicine to patients enrolled in this phase 1/2 trial. Phase 1/2 clinical trials like this one aim to test the safety, side effects, and best dose of an investigational medication. In the phase 2 part, participants usually receive the highest dose of treatment discovered in the phase 1 part. This is the first study in which humans are administered this study drug.

If successful, mRNA-3745 would enable certain organs in the body to effectively break down glycogen and avoid low glucose levels and starch intake. If mRNA-3745 could correct the cause of GSD1a, it would help keep your glucose levels where they need to be all the time.

Participation in this clinical trial could last up to approximately two years, depending on which stage you enroll in and whether or not you decide to participate in the long-term follow-up period of the study. Some of the visits in this trial will require you to stay overnight at the hospital, and some of the visits will require you to visit the hospital or doctors office. Most of the visits in this clinical trial can be done at your home, where a home health nurse will perform the assessments needed.

All study-related procedures, travel, and compensation are provided.
