Table 1. List of type 1 diabetes (T1D) prevention trials.

Study Objective Conclusions/results
TRIGR (trial to Reduce IDDM in the genetically at risk) (17) To determine if avoidance of cow’s milk protein will protect high risk newborns from initiation of B cell autoimmunity and prevent T1D Expected 2017
FINDIA (18) To test if weaning to a bovine insulin-free cow’s milk formula reduces T1D associated antibodies in genetically at risk children Compared to regular cow’s milk formula weaning to insulin-free cow’s milk formula reduced autoantibodies by age 3 years
BABYDIET (19) Delay of introduction of gluten to prevent islet autoimmunity in infants with 1st degree relative with T1D and high risk HLA genotype No difference in islet autoantibodies or development of diabetes
ENDIT (20) Nicotinamide vs. placebo in ICA-positive relative of patients with T1D to prevent T1D No difference in the development of T1D in those treated with nicotinamide compared to placebo
DPT-1 (21) Oral insulin and parenteral insulin to alter the immune response and reduce islet destruction in 1st and 2nd degree relatives of patients with T1D Oral/parenteral insulin did not delay or prevent T1D
DiAPREV-IT trial (22) Prevention trial with Diamyd a GAD65 “vaccine” in children with positive islet cell antibodies Does not prevent development of T1D
TrialNet oral insulin (23) Oral insulin prevention trial in first and second degree relatives with insulin antibodies No effect in most subjects
