Cholesterol Lowering and Residual Risk in Diabetes, Type 1

Официальное название

CHORD1 - CHOlesterol Lowering and Residual Risk in Diabetes, Type 1

Обзор

This is a prospective, interventional, cohort study, meaning that researchers will follow and observe a group of enrolled study participants over a period of time (one to two months) to gather information and record any developments of the outcomes in question. This study will recruit 125 participants with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to: 1. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on platelet function. (Platelets are small cells in the blood which help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal 2. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on While Blood Cell (WBC) gene expression, (White Blood Cells are part of the body's immune system which help the body fight infection and other diseases) and 3. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on vascular or blood vessel function.

Подробное описание

Participants will receive weekly injections of PCSK9i (evolocumab) plus daily, oral pills of atorvastatin or ezetimibe for 1 month.

Participants will undergo blood draw, and optional vascular studies that include:

* Glycocalyx testing (A non-invasive test where a video microscope camera is placed under the tongue to capture images of the movement of red blood cells as they travel through the micro-blood vessels) * PET/CT for vascular imaging - to assess any inflammation of blood vessels and to evaluate increased metabolism in related tissues, and * Endothelial cell collection before cholesterol reduction and 1-month after cholesterol reduction to measure any genetic changes in in the endothelial cells before and after collection

Glycemic Variability (GV), the amount one's blood sugar changes throughout the day, will be analyzed from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Evolocumab Cartridge
  Injectable PCSK9 inhibitor.
• Препарат Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets
  HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor for oral use.
• Препарат Ezetimibe Tablets
  Will only be distributed to patients with statin intolerance; replacement for both Atorvastatin and Evolocumab. Inhibitor of intestinal cholesterol for oral use.
• Препарат 18F-FDG
  Optional procedure. Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) imaging to assess vascular inflammation and related anatomy requires injection of the PET tracer 18F-FDG. 18F-FDG is an FDA-approved analogue of sugar, routinely used to evaluate elevated metabolism in tissues, including increased metabolism due to inflammatory cells. A standard dose of 7.0 mSv will be administered.
• Устройство Angiocatheter 20IV
  Optional procedure (endothelial cell harvesting). An angiocatheter ≤ 21 gauge will be inserted into a peripheral vein on the upper extremity using aseptic technique. A 0.018in. diameter J-shaped wire (Arrow, Reading, PA) will be then advanced into the angiocatheter, to a distance of 4cm beyond the end of the angiocatheter.
• Устройство J-Wire
  Optional procedure (endothelial cell harvesting). Either a 0.021in. diameter J-shaped wire (Daig, Minnetonka, MN) or a 0.018in. diameter J-shaped wire (Arrow, Reading, PA) will be used.
• Устройство GlycoCheck Glycocalyx Measurement Software
  Optional procedure (assessment of vascular function). Video microscope developed by GlycoCheck.
