Targeting Beta Cell Dysfunction With Liraglutide or Golimumab in Longstanding T1D

Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 8 weeks of Liraglutide or Golimumab can transiently improve beta cell function in patients with longstanding Type 1 diabetes (T1D) who secrete proinsulin and little/no C-peptide.

Diagnosis of liver disease or elevated hepatic enzymes, as defined by ALT or AST> 1.5 x the upper limit of age-determined normal (ULN) . 4. Females who are pregnant or lactating. 5. Receipt of an immune modulating biologic or investigational drug within 3 months or 5 half-lives before enrollment. 6. History of other clinically significant autoimmune disease needing chronic therapy with biologics or steroids with the exception of celiac and stable thyroid disease. 7. Current use of any medication known to significantly influence glucose tolerance (e.g. oral steroids, atypical antipsychotics, diphenylhydantoin, niacin). 8. Any medical or psychological condition that in the opinion of the principal investigator would interfere with the safe completion of the trial. 9. For Study A (liraglutide) 1.

Known history of clinically significant gastroparesis. 10. For Study B (golimumab) 1. Any history of recent (within 3 months) serious bacterial, viral, fungal, or other opportunistic infections. 2. Any history of demyelinating diseases (such as multiple sclerosis), heart failure, or left ventricular dysfunction. 3. Serologic evidence of current or past HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C. 4. Positive QuantiFERON or PPD TB test, history of tuberculosis, or active TB infection. 5. Active infection with EBV, defined by real-time PCR. 6. Active infection with CMV, defined by real-time PCR. 7. Any of the following hematologic abnormalities at screening:
