Randomized trial of youth aged 7-\<18 years with newly diagnosed stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) to assess the effect of both (1) near-normalization of glucose concentrations achieved through use of a hybrid closed loop (HCL) system and (2) verapamil on preservation of β-cell function 12 months after diagnosis. Participants with body weight ≥30 kg (Cohort A) will be randomly assigned in a factorial design to (1) HCL plus intensive diabetes management or usual care with no HCL and (2) verapamil or placebo. Participants with body weight \<30 kg (Cohort B) will be randomly assigned 2:1 in a parallel group design to HCL plus intensive diabetes management or to usual care with no HCL.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    The primary outcome is the C-peptide in response to a 2-hour MMTT at 52 weeks. C-peptide was measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes following the start of the mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). This is summarized as the area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (AUC). AUC is computed using a trapezoidal rule, which is a weighted sum of the C-peptide values over the 120 min.

Full study description
brief Summary
Randomized trial of youth aged 7-\<18 years with newly diagnosed stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) to assess the effect of both (1) near-normalization of glucose concentrations achieved through use of a hybrid closed loop (HCL) system and (2) verapamil on preservation of β-cell function 12 months after diagnosis. Participants with body weight ≥30 kg (Cohort A) will be randomly assigned in a factorial design to (1) HCL plus intensive diabetes management or usual care with no HCL and (2) verapamil or placebo. Participants with body weight \<30 kg (Cohort B) will be randomly assigned 2:1 in a parallel group design to HCL plus intensive diabetes management or to usual care with no HCL.
detailed Description
After informed consent is obtained, potential participants will be assessed for eligibility, including eliciting medical history, physical examination, and laboratory testing (including HbA1c, auto-antibody measurement \[unless positive auto-antibody results already available\], and pregnancy test for females with childbearing potential). Participants who already have positive auto-antibodies can be randomized immediately. All other participants will be scheduled for a randomization visit after the auto-antibody results are available; positive auto-antibodies are required for randomization. Eligible participants with body weight ≥30 kg (Cohort A) will be randomly assigned to one of 4 groups: HCL and placebo, HCL and verapamil, non-HCL and placebo or non-HCL and verapamil. Eligible individuals with body weight \<30 kg (Cohort B) will be randomly assigned 2:1 to either HCL or non-HCL. Randomization schedules will be separate for Cohort A and Cohort B and will be stratified by site. Participants assigned to HCL will receive intensive diabetes management with frequent contacts by study staff with the goal of near-normalization of glucose concentrations. Participants assigned to non-HCL will receive a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and diabetes management will follow usual care by their personal diabetes health care provider. Participants will be followed for 12 months from diagnosis, completing a 6 week visit timed from randomization and 13, 26, 39, and 52 week visits timed from diagnosis. Participants will have a MMTT performed, HbA1c measured, and blood drawn for mechanistic studies at Randomization, 13, 26, 39 and 52 weeks. At all follow-up visits, a physical exam will be performed, pregnancy testing performed (if indicated), insulin dose (units/kg/day) recorded, and device data downloaded. Safety assessments will be made throughout the study by querying about episodes of severe hypoglycemia and DKA, and overall health. Participants already enrolled in the study and using the Medtronic 670G 4.0 AHCL may transition to the Medtronic 780G if desired. Contacts will be performed to review CareLink data and check for adverse events and device deficiencies on days 1, 3 and 5 after transition from 670G 4.0 AHCL to 780G. Prior to the 780G system becoming commercially available, study participants using the Medtronic system at 52 weeks will have the opportunity to continue using the 780G system at home until the system is commercially available OR until the CLVer trial is complete (last participant's 52-week visit), whichever comes first. Additional Procedures for Cohort A: Drug will be double blinded. Drug dose will be weight-dependent and will be escalated at 2-4 week intervals, up to a weight-dependent maximum if tolerated. Cohort A will have additional safety visits 1 week after initiation of study drug and after each study drug dose increase, to test blood pressure and pulse. Local lab measurement of aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) and creatinine will occur, and an EKG will be performed at Screening, 6, 26, and 52 weeks. Over the course of the trial, study drug dose may be decreased or discontinued if side effects occur.
