Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 39 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Insulin treated patients with a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus as defined by the ADA criteria at least two weeks but not later than 3 months after start of insulin treatment

  • Any other acute or chronic condition that may affect the patient's response to treatment or might be associated with an increased risk for the patient to participate, as judged by the investigator
  • Current use of anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory drugs, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, or antidiabetic drugs other than insulin

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Clinical studies have shown that immunomodulators (like Anti-CD3 antibodies) have effects on beta-cell-preservation. The lipid-lowering agent atorvastatin is also a potent immunomodulator. In this study the effects of 80 mg atorvastatin per day on preservation of beta-cell function in recent onset type 1 diabetes were studied, as determined by stimulated C-peptide levels.
Detailed Description
The objectives of this study were as follows: To assess the effect of atorvastatin on pancreatic beta-cell function as measured by C-peptide after a liquid mixed meal stimulation in patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, To assess the effect on metabolic control as measured by HbA1c and insulin requirements, To assess safety and tolerability of atorvastatin in subjects with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, To assess the effect on risk factors of diabetic complications as indicated by changes in lipids and CRP, and To assess the effect on systemic immune abnormalities as measured by effects on beta-cell autoantibodies, blood cytokines and chemokines on protein and transcriptional level. Study duration: 18 months
