Brief Summary: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by destruction of pancreatic beta-cells resulting in absolute deficiency of insulin Presently there is no known cure

Our proposed interventional trial is based on immunological reset approach T-depletion therapy and anti-inflammatory treatment will restore self-tolerance in T1DM Autologous peripheral-blood mobilized hematopoietic CD34-enriched stem cells and a long-acting GLP-1 analogue will promote pancreatic islet regeneration and repair

The short-term goals of this protocol is to demonstrate that subjects with new-onset T1DM undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and immunologic reset will have greater preservation of endogenous insulin secretion compared to controls and foremost that this nonmyeloablative treatment is safe without the need for chronic immune suppression
Detailed Description: Previous efforts to prevent or reverse new-onset T1DM have been fraught with disappointment despite considerable promise The non-obese diabetic NOD mouse is a poor surrogate of human T1DM Over 463 different treatments have been shown to prevent or reverse autoimmune diabetes in these mice Efforts focused on clinical translation of the most promising strategies have led to negative findings despite enormous investment and large-scale clinical trials Encouraging preliminary clinical pilot data suggested that a non-Fc binding CD3 antibody mycophenolate mofetil MMF daclizumab rituximab B-lymphocyte depletion a soluble NBI-6024 altered insulin peptide ligand vitamin D3 nicotinamide parenteral insulin oral insulin nasal insulin and elimination of cows milk from infant feeding could each potentially mitigate diabetes onset or at least prolong endogenous C-peptide and sustain honeymoon To date none of these approaches have demonstrated robust benefit when subjected to adequately powered randomized clinical trials Basing further clinical trials solely on responses in NOD mice would seem ill-advised

One of the most promising approaches to date has been use of intravenous non-myeloablative autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor G-CSF thymoglobulin and cyclophosphamide as first described by Voltarelli et al in 2007 in Brazil Voltarelli et al demonstrated that a potentially toxic cyclophosphamide-based depletional therapy and autologous bone marrow transplant rescue restores self-tolerance prolongs honeymoon and remarkably secures insulin independence This immunological reset approach was designed to eliminate autoreactive lymphocyte clones with subsequent immune reconstitution Remarkably 2023 children and adolescents with new-onset T1DM were rendered insulin independent for periods of 6-35 months In longer follow-up 1223 maintained this state for a mean of 31 months There were no deaths but nosocomial pneumonia occurred in 2 and oligospermia in 9 The underpinning mechanism appears to be restoration of apoptosis-related gene deregulation that contributed to breakdown of immune tolerance in T1DM

Our proposed new-onset intervention trial is based on Voltarellis concept but we have eliminated cyclophosphamide replaced GCSF with plerixafor substituted thymoglobulin for a single dose of alemtuzumab and added anti-inflammatory treatments derived from the Clinical Islet Program in Edmonton with excellent safety profiles to date Cellular and immunologic data from our Clinical Islet Transplant program indicates that T-depletion with alemtuzumab and anti-inflammatory treatment with etanercept and anakinra markedly suppress autoimmunity a much safer and better tolerated combination than cyclophosphamide The addition of a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 GLP-1 analogue liraglutide is based on its known positive trophic and metabolic protective effects
