  • C-peptide response and HLA genotypes in subjects with recent-onset type 1 diabetes after immunotherapy with DiaPep277: an exploratory study
    Buzzetti, Raffaella ...
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether lower risk HLA class II genotypes would influence the efficacy of DiaPep277 therapy in protecting beta-cell function evaluated by C-peptide secretion in recent-onset ... type 1 diabetic subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were collected from type 1 diabetic subjectsenrolled in multicenter phase II studies with a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled design in whom fasting and stimulated C-peptide levels were measured. HLA genotypes were classified in high, moderate, and low risk categories. RESULTS: A total of 146 subjects (aged 4.3 to 58.5 years) were enrolled, including 76 children (<18 years old) and 70 adults. At baseline, there was a significant increase in fasting, maximal, andarea under the curve (AUC) C-peptide from high to moderate and low risk HLAgenotypes in adults (P for trend <0.04) but not in children. Children showed a decrease of the three parameters over time regardless of therapy and HLA genotype. DiaPep277-treated adults with low risk genotype had significantly higher maximal and AUC C-peptide versus placebo at 12 months (0.04 +/- 0.07 vs. -0.28 +/- 0.09 nmol/L, P < 0.01, and 0.53 +/- 1.3 vs. -4.59+/- 1.5 nmol/L, P < 0.05, respectively). In the moderate risk genotype group, Deltamaximal and AUC C-peptide values were significantly higher in DiaPep277-treated versus placebo-treated patients (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This exploratory study demonstrates that type 1 diabetic adults with low and moderate risk HLA genotypes benefit the most fromintervention with DiaPep277; the only subgroup with an increase of C-peptide at 12 months after diagnosis was the low risk DiaPep277-treated subgroup.
