- Type 1 diabetes usually develops in childhood and adolescence; however, it can also present in adulthood as late as the 5th and 6th decades of life, although much less frequently (Atkinson 2014, Bluestone 2010, Streisand 2014). In addition to being more prone to some short- and long-term complications, there are differences in the clinical course and response to immune therapies between children/young adults and older adults. In the days or weeks before initial diagnosis, children and adolescents often suffer from severe diabetes symptoms, including polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, which could result in a clinical presentation of DKA and shock which requires hospitalization (Atkinson 2014, Bluestone 2010, Streisand 2014, Mittermayer 2017). Children and young adults with new-onset T1D usually have an immediate need for exogenous insulin.
- T1D is characterized by destruction of most insulin-producing beta cells by an autoimmune response. Patients with established T1D have residual beta cells, but these do not thrive due to the autoimmune disease, which destroys them upon proliferation.
- the method results in regeneration of beta cells.
- T1D type 1 diabetes
- methods that preserve P cell function, regenerate cells/ increase pancreatic P cells proliferation and/or improve clinical management of T1D in subjects in need thereof compared with the natural course of disease and current standard of care including exogenous insulin therapy.
- the preservation and/or amelioration of P cell function is anticipated to translate to clinical and/or metabolic benefits consistent with improved ability to maintain glycemic control and short- and/or long-term outcomes.
- the methods of treating type 1 diabetes comprises administering to the subject in need thereof an effective amount of one or more anti-CD3 antibody in combination with an effective amount of one or more DYRK1A inhibitor.
- DYRK1A inhibitors induce proliferation in human beta cells via their ability to induce nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (“NFaTs”), transcription factors that then trans-activate cell cycle-activating genes and repress cell cycle inhibitor genes.
- NFaTs nuclear factor of activated T-cells
- the method comprises administering to the subject in need thereof a combination therapy comprising a course of one or more anti-CD3 antibody and a course of one or more DYRK1A inhibitor to induce immune tolerance to the regenerated beta cells, in patients with T1D.

- the method comprises determining presence of residual beta cell mass: by (1) oral-glucose-tolerance test (OGTT, 2 or 4 hours test) prior to treatment, (2) demonstration of detectable C-peptide prior to treatment, or combination thereof.
- OGTT oral-glucose-tolerance test
- the subject in need thereof has at least 20% of beta-cell function prior the administration of the combination therapy.
- the method comprises administering to the subject in need thereof within 6 weeks of diagnosis a first course of daily doses of teplizumab for 12 days, and a second course of daily doses of teplizumab for 12 days, wherein the first and second courses are separated with a 6-month interval.
- the method further comprises assessing the area under the timeconcentration curve (AUC) of C-peptide following a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), at 78 weeks (18 months or 1.5 years), and/or evaluating clinical endpoints such exogenous insulin use, HbAlc levels, and hypoglycemic episodes.

- Anti-CD3 Antibodies and Pharmaceutical Compositions comprising Anti-CD3 Antibodies
- the terms "anti-CD3 antibody” and "an antibody that binds to CD3” refer to an antibody or antibody fragment that is capable of binding cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a prophylactic, diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent in targeting CD3.
- the extent of binding of an anti-CD3 antibody to an unrelated, non-CD3 protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antibody to CD3 as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RIA).
- RIA radioimmunoassay
- an antibody that binds to CD3 has a dissociation constant (Kd) of ⁇ 1 pM, ⁇ 100 nM, ⁇ 10 nM, ⁇ 1 nM, ⁇ 0.1 nM, ⁇ 0.01 nM, or ⁇ 0.001 nM (e.g. 10' 8 M or less, e.g. from 10' 8 M to 10' 13 M, e.g., from 10' 9 M to 10' 13 M).
- Kd dissociation constant
- an anti-CD3 antibody binds to an epitope of CD3 that is conserved among CD3 from different species.
- the anti-CD3 antibody can be ChAglyCD3 (otelixizumab).
- Otelixizumab is a humanized Fc nonbinding anti-CD3, which was evaluated initially in phase 2 studies by the Belgian Diabetes Registry (BDR) and then developed by Tolerx, which then partnered with GSK to conduct the phase 3 DEFEND new onset T1D trials (NCT00678886, NCT01123083, NCT00763451).
- Otelixizumab is administered IV with infusions over 8 days. See, e.g., Wiczling et al., J. Clin. Pharmacol. 50 (5) (May 2010) 494-506; Keymeulen et al., N Engl J Med.
- the anti-CD3 antibody can be visilizumab (also called HuM291 ; Nuvion).
- Visilizumab is a humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody characterized by a mutated IgG2 isotype, lack of binding to Fey receptors, and the ability to induce apoptosis selectively in activated T cells. It was evaluated in patients in graft-versus-host disease (NCT00720629; NCT00032279) and in ulcerative colitis (NCT00267306) and Crohn’s Disease (NCT00267709). See, e.g., Sandborn et al., Gut 59 (11) (Nov 2010) 1485-1492, incorporated herein by reference.
- the anti-CD3 antibody can be foralumab (also called TZLS- 401).
- Foralumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to CD3 epsilon, (see U.S. Patent No. 10,688,186 incorporated by reference in its entirety.)
- the anti-CD3 antibody can be teplizumab.
- Teplizumab also known as hOKT3yl(Ala-Ala) (containing an alanine at positions 234 and 235) is an anti-CD3 antibody that had been engineered to alter the function of the T lymphocytes that mediate the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of the pancreas.
- Teplizumab binds to an epitope of the CD3E chain expressed on mature T cells and by doing so changes their function. Circulating T cells (and other lymphocytes) are transiently reduced following teplizumab treatment, in a process that may include margination and depletion (Long 2017, Sherry 2011).
- teplizumab appears to both increase the number and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) (Ablamunits 2010, Bisikirska 2005, Long 2017, Waldron-Lynch 2012). More recent studies indicate that teplizumab induces immunologic “exhaustion” in a subset of effector CD8+ T cells, perhaps making them more susceptible to regulation or deletion (Long 2016, Long 2017).
- teplizumab not only exerts a “suppressive” effect on [3 cell immune destructive processes but rather is an immune “modulator” favoring a rebalancing of effector and regulatory arms involved with T1D autoimmunity and supporting the notion that teplizumab may have the ability to contribute to the re-introduction of P cell self-tolerance (Lebastchi 2013).
- teplizumab Sequences and compositions of teplizumab are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,491,916; 8,663,634; and 9,056,906, each incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

- WHO World Health Organization
- a hemoglobin A1C (HbAlc) of ⁇ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol).
- the test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) certified and standardized to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) assay.

- DCCT Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
- T1D clinical Type 1 diabetes
- the ADA suggests that plasma blood glucose rather than HbAlC should be used to diagnose the acute onset of T1D in individuals with symptoms of hyperglycemia.
- ADA a patient with classic symptoms, measurement of plasma glucose is sufficient to diagnose clinical diabetes (symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis plus a random plasma glucose >200 mg/dL [11.1 mmol/L]). In these cases, knowing the plasma glucose level is critical because, in addition to confirming that symptoms are due to diabetes, it will inform management decisions. Some providers may also want to know the HbAlC to determine how long a patient has had hyperglycemia. In addition, T1D, previously called “insulin-dependent diabetes” or "juvenile-onset diabetes,” accounts for 5-10% of diabetes and is due to cellular-mediated autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic [3-cells.

- Glucose Monitoring Intermittent glucose monitoring (e.g, spot-check or fingerstick) performed by participants or caregivers multiple times a day as a necessary part of glycemic management to gauge insulin dosing and assist in diet and activity. All participants are to bring in their glucometers at all visits for review. In addition to data regarding glycemic control, at specified times during the study, participants report their daily before-meal and before-bedtime BG readings and have glucose levels assessed for 2-week intervals using CGM.
- Quality of Life Questionnaires Surveys is used to assess the general health and wellbeing of participants and the effects of teplizumab, such as the PedsQL Diabetes Module, HFS, DTSQ, and parent-reported PedsQL Family Impact Module.
- Teplizumab concentrations are analyzed in blood samples collected at specified time points throughout the study.
- Anti- teplizumab antibodies are determined, including those that are neutralizing antibodies (NAbs).
- the total study duration for each participant is up to 84 weeks. This includes a screening period of up to 6 weeks and a post-randomization period of 78 weeks. The postrandomization period includes two 12-day treatment courses separated by 6 months and a posttreatment observation period of approximately 52 weeks. The final visit takes place at Week 78.
- the overall study length and timepoints for key assessments were chosen due to the natural course of remaining [3 cell loss following the diagnosis of T1D and study goals to demonstrate durability of effect and to confirm post-treatment safety profiles of teplizumab. At the time of diagnosis there can be substantial P cell reserves, often estimated at 10-20% but in some cases over 40% of normal cell mass (Matvey enko 2008, Campbell-Thompson 2016).
- the 18-month time point for the primary and key secondary clinical endpoints provide key data needed for the acceptance of teplizumab as a T1D disease modifying therapy into regular medical practice and is consistent with existing guidelines for endpoints recommended by the EMA and FDA.
- Data from T1D natural history studies and interventional trials show that cell loss in those with T1D can be quite variable, especially within the weeks to months following diagnosis.
- This study is enrolling participants in close proximity to T1D diagnosis (i.e. within 6 weeks) who are younger, there may be the added complexity of the consideration of the Honeymoon phenomenon (or spontaneous, transient partial remission) - that may last up to ⁇ 1 year in the study population (Abdul-Rasoul 2006).
- the 18-month timing of the primary and key secondary clinical endpoints allows for a substantial amount of the inherent, natural metabolic variability due to different trajectories of P cell loss and/or transiently enhanced P cell function due to the Honeymoon phenomenon to be minimized - so that the true effect on teplizumab on p cell function and clinical parameters can be differentiated from chance.
- the primary and key clinical endpoints are assessed approximately 1 year after the last dose of study drug administration.
- the length of effect is recognized as an important property of an intermittent disease modifying therapy for T1D.
- a 12-month off-therapy period whilst maintaining positive metabolic and clinical effects can, at this time, be considered a reasonable time frame to substantiate an assertion of a metabolically and clinically relevant durable benefit.
- T1D diagnosis is according to ADA criteria.
- the patient diagnosed with T1D has a positive result on testing for at least one of the following TID-related autoantibodies: Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) autoantibodies, Islet antigen 2 (IA-2) autoantibodies, Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) autoantibodies Islet cell cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ICA) or Insulin autoantibodies (if testing obtained within the first 14 days of insulin treatment).
- Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) autoantibodies, Islet antigen 2 (IA-2) autoantibodies, Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) autoantibodies Islet cell cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ICA) or Insulin autoantibodies (if testing obtained within the first 14 days of insulin treatment).
- BSA square root [height (cm) x weight (kg) / 3600], using the height and weight of the obtained on that day.
- Teplizumab and placebo are prepared according to the Pharmacy Manual provided to the site.
- PVC Polyvinyl chloride
- Two (2) mL of study drug should be drawn from the study drug vial and slowly reconstituted in 18 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution for injection by gentle mixing. The resulting 20 mL of 1:10 dilution is used as the initial study drug solution, which contains either placebo or teplizumab at a concentration of 100 pg/mL. This initial drug solution should then be added to a PVC infusion bag containing 25 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Finally, this resulting preparation should be gently mixed before administration to the participant.
- the glycemic goal should be attempted through proper glycemic monitoring, administration of exogenous insulin, and monitoring of activity level and diet.
- Exogenous insulin may include rapid, intermediate, and/or long-acting insulins, administered intermittently or via the use of a personal insulin pump.
- Blood glucose levels should be measured at least 4 times a day, including before meals and before bedtime.
- Insulin use including the type of products, dosages, and dosing schedules, is expected to change during the course of the study. As part of routine T1D clinical care, if the caring physician judges it to be clinically appropriate, a participant’s insulin dose may be increased, reduced, or even discontinued.
- the study team should contact the participant’s primary clinical care team about possible adjustments in the insulin regimen, referral to a registered dietitian, or other approaches that may improve the glucose control.
- a participant has achieved a HbAlc level of ⁇ 6.5% with insulin use of ⁇ 0.25 U/kg/day, insulin therapy can be discontinued.
- the participant’s blood glucose and HbAlc levels should continue to be monitored per protocol, and urine ketones should be monitored once a day.
- the participant should consult with their primary physician and/or the clinical site staff for further evaluation. If the fasting blood glucose exceeds 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or HbAlc exceeds 6.5%, as documented by repeat testing, the resumption of insulin therapy should be considered.
- Patient receives premedication of anNSAID (e.g., ibuprofen) (acetaminophen ifNSAID is contraindicated) and an antihistamine (e.g., diphenhydramine) for at least the first 5 days of the treatment course, unless contraindicated by drug allergy or sensitivity.
- anNSAID e.g., ibuprofen
- an antihistamine e.g., diphenhydramine
- the patient can proceed with the next infusion as described above at least 30 minutes following administration of prophylactic NS AID (acetaminophen if NS AID is contraindicated) and antihistamine. Close monitoring is to occur during the infusions and for 60 minutes following the infusions for any signs or symptoms of intolerability or infusion reactions.
- prophylactic NS AID acetaminophen if NS AID is contraindicated
- antihistamine acetaminophen if NS AID is contraindicated
- the visit window for these study visits are ⁇ 4 days from the target visit day. During these visits, participants return to the site for their scheduled visit and have clinical and/or laboratory assessments conducted. Of note at Week 12, a CGM sensor is applied and the participant is to be given instructions on CGM monitoring care and use.
- the visit window for these study visits are ⁇ 4 days from the target visit day.
- a 4h MMTT is conducted.
- the visit window for this study visit is ⁇ 7 days from the target visit day. During this visit the 4h MMTT is conducted.
- a 2h MMTT is performed at screening to determine study eligibility (based on peak C-peptide level).
- a 4h MMTTs is performed at randomization and at Weeks 26, 52, and 78 to obtain 4h C-peptide AUCs and other data.
- a 4h MMTT is used at and post-randomization as it has been shown to be more precise and reliable in assessing the MMTT-induced C-peptide AUC than the 2h MMTT (Boyle 2015, Rigby 2013, Rigby 2016).
- the 2h-MMTT is used at screening as it is sufficient to capture the peak C-peptide level needed for study entry. Samples from these assessments are assessed for C-peptide, serum glucose, and insulin.
- Samples are stored for potential future evaluations including but not limited to proinsulin levels.
- the measurements of C-peptide and glucose in serum samples are done.
- MMTTs are to take place in the morning between approximately 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. after an overnight fast with strict guidance on insulin use.
- the 2-hour MMTT takes approximately 130 minutes to perform, and the 4-hour MMTT takes approximately 250 minutes.
- HbAlc is assessed as a blood test at select study visits
- Patient’s daily insulin use is documented by the participant in an eDiary at select times for 7 days prior to randomization and at about Weeks 12, 26, 39, 52, 65 and 78 visits.
- the patient records all short-, intermediate- and long-acting insulin administered as intermittent injections or use with an “insulin pump” during this time. Insulin use data are not recorded on the day before or the day of the study visit. If a patient forgets to record insulin use on one or more days before a visit, they should continue to record insulin use for up to 72 hours post-dose to obtain up to 7 days of data. Every effort should be made to collect a total of 7 days of insulin use data for all the aforementioned visits except Week 78 (final visit), as patients return the eDiary at the final visit.
- BG levels are usually measured by a fingerstick glucometer at least 4 times a day, including before each meal and at bedtime.
- participants are offered a study-supplied glucometer and glucometer strips, but participants are permitted to use their own glucometers if they choose, in which case glucose monitoring strips are not supplied.
- Each participant is instructed to bring their glucometer (or glucometers if they use more than one, e.g., at home and in school) to each visit for review.
- Continuous glucose monitors record interstitial glucose levels (which closely approximate blood glucose values) at regular intervals, eg every 5-15 minutes depending on device.
- CGM assessments are conducted to provide key secondary clinical and exploratory endpoint data to address if and how teplizumab affects glycemic control, such as glucose excursions, time in select glucose ranges, and average daily glucose values (Steck 2014, Helminen 2016, Danne 2017).
- a recent international consensus statement on CGM monitoring supported the use of percentages of time in ranges (target, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia) and measurement of glycemic variability as key diabetes control metrics in clinical trials (Danne 2017).
- CGM are used to assess glycemic control approximately 7 times throughout the study: after the completion of treatment courses at randomization and Week 26; after the visit at Weeks 12, 39, 52, and 65; and before the visit at Week 78.
- CGM sensors are placed by qualified study staff, and education and training on CGM use and care are given. Sensors remain in place for up to 2 weeks. If during that 2-week period a sensor comes off, it can be replaced by the participant, a knowledgeable family member/guardian, or a qualified medical professional.
- CGM sensors are placed on participants after the study drug administration has completed for Course 1 and Course 2 and other clinical and laboratory assessments have been made on the days specified in the Schedule of Events tables. At the Weeks 12, 39, 52, and 65 visits, the sensor is placed on participants after all clinical and laboratory assessments and the MMTT have completed.
- Study CGM readings are not intended for medical management of participant’s diabetes but can be under the supervision of a participant’s health care team. Of note, routine use of the personal CGM under guidance of a participant’s regular healthcare provider is permitted.
- Spot-check and CGM blood glucose assessments are anticipated to include but are not be limited to mean BG, glycemic variability (BG standard deviation [SD]), maximum and minimum BG values over time and incidence and/or percent time with BG >70 but ⁇ 180 mg/dL (>3.9 but ⁇ 10.0 mmol/L, Level 1 (>180 but ⁇ 250 mg/dL (>10 but ⁇ 13.9 mmol/L)) and Level 2 HYPERglycemia (>250 mg/dL (>13.9 mmol/L)) and Level 1 ( ⁇ 70 but >54 mg/dL ( ⁇ 3.9 but >3.0 mmol/L)) and Level 2 ( ⁇ 54 mg/dL ( ⁇ 3.0 mmol/L)) HYPOglycemia (Seaquist 2013, International Hypoglycaemia Study Group [IHSG] 2017, Agiostratidou 2017).
- BG standard deviation [SD] glycemic variability
- SD glycemic variability
- the meta-analysis evaluated the change from baseline in C-peptide AUC in a 4-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to predict mean C-peptide values (least square means) as well as respective treatment differences.
- the meta-analysis had 2 components: one analysis was performed on all 5 studies through 1 year of follow-up, and a second analysis was performed on the 3 studies that had 2 years of follow-up.
- Table 5 shows study design features across these 5 studies in Stage 3 T1D patients. These studies were chosen because they represented all the randomized studies conducted with teplizumab in Stage 3 T1D and used either placebo or standard of care as controls. A similar 14- day escalating dose regimen was used across the studies. In Study 1, a 14-day dosing regimen based on weight was subsequently modified to a 12-day dosing regimen based on BSA. However, due to apparently more AEs occurring during the early dosing period in the 12-day regimen with a 2-day ramp-up period, a 14-day regimen with a 4-day ramp-up period was adopted in subsequent clinical studies.
- Protege and Encore studies enrolled newly diagnosed patients with Stage 3 T1D in 4 treatment arms: placebo and 3 teplizumab dosing regimens (full-dose 14 days [9.0 mg/m2 cumulative dose], one-third dose 14 days [—3.0 mg/m2 cumulative dose] and truncated 6-days [—2.5 mg/m2 cumulative dose]).
- C-peptide data from the full-dose 14-day regimen was used.
- Study 1, AbATE, and Delay studies all used the full-dose 14-day regimen (9.0 mg/m2 cumulative dose).
- the primary endpoint of the meta-analyses was the change from baseline in C-peptide AUC in a 4-hour MMTT. Each study used the same sample collection time points during the MMTTs to calculate C-peptide AUC.
- Teplizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antigen, which is co-expressed with the T-cell receptor (TCR) on the surface of T lymphocytes.
- CD3 cluster of differentiation 3
- TCR T-cell receptor
- Figure 30 shows plots of predicted mean teplizumab concentrations over time using a 14-day intravenous (IV) dosing regimen with a 4-day ramp-up followed by repeated doses of 826 pg/m2 on Days 5 to 14.
- the left panel represents a typical 60 kg male subject and the right panel represents a typical 40 kg and 90 kg male subject.
- Body surface area (BSA)-based dosing normalizes the exposure across body size.
- Distribution The central and peripheral volume of distribution from population PK analysis was 3.4 L and 6.9 L, respectively.
- Teplizumab clearance is not dose-proportional, likely driven by its saturable binding to CD3 receptors on the T-cell surface. Teplizumab is expected to be degraded into smaller peptide fragments by catabolic pathways. The clearance of teplizumab following the 14- day dosing regimen was estimated from population PK analysis to be 2.3 L/day, with a terminal half-life of approximately 4 days.
- the planned commercial drug product is manufactured in a different facility from the clinical trial product and was not used in the clinical studies submitted to support efficacy and safety.
- a single-dose PK bridging study was conducted in healthy volunteers that evaluated the biocomparability of the commercial drug product with the clinical trial drug product.
- the mean AUCO-inf for the commercial product was less than half (48.5%, 90% CI: 43.6 to 54.1) of the AUCO-inf for the product used in the primary efficacy study. The reason for this difference seems to be faster clearance of the drug from circulation rather than differences in the strength of the product, as similar concentrations were observed immediately following IV infusion (Cmax of the commercial product was 94.5% (90% CI: 84.5 to 106) of that observed in the clinical trial drug product).
- Stage-4 T1D patient with residual beta-cell mass as evidenced by stimulated C-peptide levels lower than about 1 ng/ml in blood yet detectable, receives a 12-day course of teplizumab IV to reduce immunological auto-reactivity against beta cells while starting a daily oral treatment with a DYRK1A inhibitor at an effective dose.
- the DYRK1A inhibitor acts on the small but existing residual beta-cells inducing proliferation.
- the patient receives a second or more treatment courses (e.g. 12-day course) of teplizumab separated by a period ranging from about 6 months to about 1 year to prevent the immune system from attacking newly formed beta cells.
- the new course of teplizumab occurs while the patient continues expanding their beta cell mass by taking orally a daily effective dose of DYRK1 A inhibitors.
- the new course of teplizumab occurs after the patient has stopped the DYRK1 A inhibitors treatment and is administered to ensure that the immune system does not react against the expanded beta-cell mass.
- Example 8 Treatment of newly diagnosed, symptomatic, insulin-dependent stage 3 T1D patient
- a newly diagnosed, symptomatic, insulin-dependent stage 3 T1D patient with significant residual beta-cell mass as evidenced by C-peptide levels higher than about 0.2 ng/ml in blood receives a 12-day course with daily subcutaneous administrations of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of anti-CD3 antibody (e.g. teplizumab) and DYRK1A inhibitors such that the active agents are administered at a therapeutically effective amount to the subject in need thereof in each dose.
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of anti-CD3 antibody (e.g. teplizumab) and DYRK1A inhibitors such that the active agents are administered at a therapeutically effective amount to the subject in need thereof in each dose.
- the patient continues receiving a weekly dose of a therapeutically effective subcutaneous amount of DYRK1A inhibitors or a therapeutically effective oral amount of DYRK1A inhibitors until the patient’s need for exogenous insulin is reduced by at least 20% or fully eliminated.
- the patient receives from weekly to monthly subcutaneous doses of DYRK1A after the first 12-day course of teplizumab.
- the patient receives additional 12-day course of the combined anti-CD3 and DYRK1A inhibitors every 6 months while staying on the from weekly to monthly treatment of DYRK1A inhibitors monotherapy.
- Example 9 Treatment of pre-symptomatic stage-2 T1D patient
- a pre-symptomatic stage-2 T1D patient with reduced functional beta-cell mass as evidenced by the presence of dysglycemia upon glycemic challenge receives a 12-day course of teplizumab IV to reduce immunological auto-reactivity against beta cells and prevent further progression of the disease.
- the patient starts DYRK1A inhibitors therapy orally to expand the pre-existing beta cell mass until dysglycemia is reduced by about 50% compared to baseline or eliminated.
- an additional 12-day course of teplizumab is administered after from about 6 months to about 1 year after the first 12-day teplizumab course to avoid rejection of the newly formed beta cells by the patient’s immune system.
- the effective amount of DYRK1A inhibitors is administered orally one to four times a day, orally once a week, orally once every two weeks, orally once every three weeks or orally once a month.
- the effective amount of DYRK1A inhibitors is administered orally from once to several times a day for one week each month.
- the effective amount of DYRK1A inhibitors is administered orally from once to several times a day for two consecutive weeks each month.
- the effective amount of DYRK1A inhibitors is administered orally from once to several times a day on alternative weeks.
- Stage-4 T1D patient with residual beta-cell mass as evidenced by stimulated levels of C-peptide detectable yet lower than about 1 ng/ml in blood receives a 12-day course of teplizumab IV while starting a continuous administration of an effective dose of DYRK1A inhibitors using an infusion pump.
- the patient receives a second or more courses of teplizumab (e.g. 12-day course) separated by from about 6 months to about 1 year to prevent the immune system from attacking newly formed beta cells.
- the second or more courses of teplizumab could occur while the patient continues expanding their beta cell mas while wearing the infusion pump.
- the effective amount of DYRK1A inhibitors is administered by an infusion pump that is worn continuously for 7-14 days of each month.
- the effective amount of DYRK1 A inhibitors is administered by an infusion pump that is worn alternative days.
- the effective amount of DYRK1 A inhibitors is administered by an infusion pump that is worn 1-5 days each week.
