Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children
and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is in childhood • 45% of children present before 10 years of age • The body’s immune system attacks and destroys
the Beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin
• Patients require lifelong insulin to stay alive

Insulin
• Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas which sits behind the stomach
• Insulin is released into the bloodstream where it travels throughout the body to help a sugar called glucose enter into cells to be used as energy
![Page 4: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Complications of Diabetes
• High glucose levels damage small and large blood vessels
• Diabetes is the leading cause of – Adult blindness – Kidney failure – Non-traumatic amputations
• Diabetes increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes 2-4 fold
![Page 5: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Keeping Blood Glucose Levels Close to Normal will Largely
Prevent Diabetes Complications
![Page 6: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Type 1 Diabetes Management • Teach patients to give insulin to blood
match the body’s needs • Insulin Injections • Insulin pumps • Fingerstick glucose measurements 4 or
more times a day – Adjust insulin dosage based on glucose level
![Page 7: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Factors Influence How Well Glucose Levels are Controlled?
• Correctly estimating the amount of carbohydrates in the meal
• Giving insulin 15-20 before meals is best • Recent exercise decreases insulin requirements • Physical and psychological stress, or inactivity
increase insulin requirements • Insulin absorption is affected by the dose,
depth of injection, skin temperature, injection site, smoking, scar tissue
![Page 8: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Striving for Near-Normal Glucose Levels with Insulin
Increases the Risk of Low Blood Glucose Levels (Hypoglycemia)
![Page 9: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Severe Hypoglycemia • A very low glucose reaction that requires
assistance from another person • Occurs in 25% of intensively controlled
patients yearly • Symptoms may take hours to fully resolve • May lead to seizures • Estimated to be the cause of death in 4-6%
of type 1 diabetes patients

People Living with Type 1 Diabetes Have to Think about
Their Diabetes all Day to Prevent Long Term Complications and
Hypoglycemia

What Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Want Most

Immunotherapy
• Prevent the onset or progression of auto-immune destruction of insulin-producing Beta cells – Block the destructive immune T cells – Support Regulatory cells which protect against
autoimmunity
![Page 18: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
T Effector and Regulatory Cell Interactions Determine Appropriate Immune Response
• Balance exists in normal immune response
• T effector cells kill viruses, bacteria and cancer cells
• Regulatory cells regulate the immune response

Misdirected T Effector Cells Orchestrate Cell Destruction in Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes
• Normal proteins on the surface of Beta cells trigger an immune response
• T effector cells inappropriately destroy Beta cells by a number of mechanisms1,2
• Regulatory cell inhibition is ineffective1

Preventive Treatments that Target T Effector Cells or the Destructive Cytokines they Release
• Azathioprine, Mycophenolate mofetil, Cyclosporine, Anti-CD3 antibodies, Teplizumab, Otelixizumab, Rituximab, Interleukin-1 antagonists
• Effective in mouse model of type 1 diabetes • Commonly less effective in humans • At higher doses that lead to better protection
– Common effects: fever, headache, low blood pressure, rashes – Acute mononucleosis-like syndrome
• Concern over the risk of long term immune suppression – Infections – Cancer

Regulatory Cells
• Deficient in diabetic NOD mice and humans with type 1 diabetes
• We have confirmed that regulatory cells are destroyed by a Fas-FasL interaction between cells – The normal way that immune cells are down-regulated
after increasing in number to fight an infection – This is pathway is turned on to destroy regulatory cells
in mice and humans that develop type 1 diabetes
![Page 23: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Blocking the Fas-FasL Pathway
• Through use of a FasL antibody • Protects Regulatory cells from apoptosis (death)
and prevents type 1 diabetes development in the NOD mouse model
![Page 24: Treatment and Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes€¦ · Type 1 Diabetes • Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults (0.4%) have type 1 diabetes • Predominant onset is](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070721/5ee24b4bad6a402d666cd4f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Current and Future Studies • Making humanized monoclonal FasL antibodies • Identify and expand those with potent ability to
block the activity of human FasL • Plan to test their safety and immune effects in
normal subjects • Potential future use in type 1 diabetes prevention
trials – As sole therapy – In combination with lower doses of drugs targeted to T
effector cells and destructive cytokines
