Study summary

The aim of this research is to identify pre-symptomatic Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in young children and adolescents who have first degree relatives with T1D. This protocol has been developed to address the growing need for standardized T1D screening, monitoring, and data collection in alignment with international recommendations. The study's estimated duration is 13 months and will consist of two visits: Visit 1 (screening visit) and Visit 2 (confirmatory visit).

Inclusion criteria

  • Children and adolescents, age 1.5 years to 18 years
  • First degree relatives of T1D probands
  • Parent or legal guardian signing an

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Already developed clinical overt T1D
  • Known diabetes of any kind (type 1, type 2, Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young - MODY)
  • Have a previous history of being treated with insulin

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    Blood samples will be collected from the participants and autoantibody testing will be performed. For participants who test positive for any autoantibodies, another autoantibody test and HbA1C test and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) or CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) will be performed

    Procedure: Investigational Procedure

    It consists of prospective blood sample collection from children, adolescents and first-degree relatives of T1D probands. Study without any Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of at-risk (first-degree) relatives of T1D probands who meet the diagnostic criteria for Stage 1 or Stage 2 T1D

    Stage 1 is defined by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies with normoglycemia. Stage 2 is characterized by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies with dysglycemia (impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance) but without clinical symptoms of diabetes

    Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants who meet the criteria for Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) diagnosis

    Stage 3 is defined by the presence of two or more diabetes-related autoantibodies, abnormal blood glucose levels, and clinical symptoms of T1D, such as polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, and fatigue

    Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)

  2. Refusal rate - ratio of patients proposed for screening who did not accept autoantibody testing and follow-up monitoring

    Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit)

  3. Acceptance rate - ratio of patients proposed for screening who accepted autoantibody testing and follow-up monitoring

    Time frame: At Baseline (screening visit) and in 3 months, at Visit 2 (confirmatory visit)

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 18 months after the start.

Of 105 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 18. This study's planned 18 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 949 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 35.

Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 23, 2026: primary completion Dec 2026 → Jun 2027 and completion Dec 2026 → Jun 2027.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
