Clinical Research Studies

Prevention and Intervention Trials for Patients


The Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, located at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, is actively involved in clinical research. The research division has several on-going studies, as well as ones that are open for enrollment. These studies are all dedicated to the pursuit of preventing diabetes in high-risk patients as well as clinical intervention with those already diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

The following studies are currently enrolling eligible participants. Please click on the study title for more specific information about the study and eligibility requirements.

Newborns with no family history of Type 1 diabetes. Young siblings and offspring of persons with type 1 diabetes. NO LONGER ENROLLING NEW SUBJECTS.
TrialNet: Oral Insulin for Prevention of Diabetes in Relatives at Risk for Type 1 Diabetes Previously screened in the Natural History Trial, and identified high-risk for the development of Type 1 diabetes.
TrialNet: TN10 Anti-CD3 (Teplizumab) Prevention Relatives, ages 8-45, of people with type 1 diabetes who have been screened through the Natural History Study who have been to be at increased risk for developing Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Twin Family Study of Islet Cell Autoimmunity Identical and fraternal twins and triplets who are affected with type 1 diabetes and their unaffected co-twins, non-twin siblings, and parents. Type 1 diabetes in the affected twin defined as onset < age 40 and use of daily insulin therapy within one year of diagnosis. Affected twin with onset ≥ age 40 may be included if documented by the presence of islet cell auto antibodies. Twins who are concordant for type 1 diabetes may be included in the study if one twin was tested for auto antibodies prior to the development of diabetes, as may be the case for subjects in DPT-1 or TrialNet. 
Determinants of Macro vascular Disease Risk in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes diagnosis for at least 5 years. Ages 12-19 AND controls - adolescents without any diabetes ages 12-19.
