Who Can Participate?

SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth (SEARCH)Children and youth who are under age 20 when they were diagnosed with diabetes may be eligible to join. Eligibility may depend on the place the child or young adult resides or the place where health care is received.

Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium  (T1DGC)The T1DGC has completed enrollment for the affected sibling pair families phase of the study. We would like to thank all of participants worldwide who helped the study reach this monumental goal.

We are continuing to recruit trios (father, mother, and a child with type 1 diabetes), as well as cases (with type 1 diabetes) and controls (no history of type 1 diabetes) from populations with a low prevalence of the disease only as we have adequate numbers of Caucasians of European origins. In Asia Pacific, this includes individuals from countries such as India and Thailand. In North America, this includes Mexican American and African American individuals.

Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes  (FIND)In order for a family to participate, there must be at least one person with kidney disease due to diabetes. In addition, there must be at least one full brother/sister (not a half or step brother/sister) who: (1) has diabetes and kidney disease OR (2) has had diabetes for more than 10 years and does not have kidney disease. A family with a member with diabetic kidney disease whose two parents are willing to participate may also be enrolled in the study. Other family members may be recruited to the study as well. There are also opportunities for Mexican-American patients with diabetic kidney disease, and African-American patients with diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease and their families to participate as well.

TrialNet-MMF/DZB (TrialNet)This study is no longer recruiting patients. Persons who had developed type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes within the last three months and who are between the ages of 12 and 35 were eligible to participate.

The Rituximab Study (TrialNet)This study is no longer recruiting patients. People were eligible for this study if they:
  • were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the past 3 months.
  • were 12 to 45 years of age.
  • had blood tests that showed that their body was still making insulin.
  • had antibodies in their blood that are present in people with type 1 diabetes.
  • were willing to use birth control and take urine pregnancy tests at every visit (if female and sexually active).
  • agreed to manage their diabetes daily. This means checking blood sugar 3 to 4 times each day and taking multiple insulin injections or using an insulin pump.

Strategies to Improve Long Term Islet Graft Survival (CIT-02)In general, to participate in this study, one must be 18-65 years of age, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before age 40 and insulin dependent for more than 5 years.

B-Lymphocyte Immunotherapy in Islet Transplantation (CIT-05)In general, to participate in this study, one must be 18-65 years of age, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before age 40 and insulin dependent for more than 5 years. There are more specific inclusion and exclusion criterion for participation in this study, which can be discussed with the study contact.

Efficacy of Islet after Kidney Transplantation  (CIT-06)In general, to participate in this study, one must be 18-65 years of age, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before age 40, be insulin dependent for more than 5 years, and have received a kidney transplant. There are more specific inclusion and exclusion criterion for participation in this study, which can be discussed with the study contact.

Peritransplant Deoxyspergualin in Islet Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes (CIT-03)You may be enrolled into this study, if you:

  • have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with symptoms prior to age 40;
  • are insulin dependent for at least 5 years, with three or more injections each day or on insulin pump therapy;
  • have blood tests that show your body does not make insulin;
  • are managing your diabetes daily, by checking you blood sugar at least three times a day;
  • have had at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia in the past year where you needed the help of another person; and
  • have hypoglycemia unawareness, a condition in which you no longer experience the usual warning signs of hypoglycemia.


Islet Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes with LEA29Y Maintenance Therapy (CIT-04)You may be enrolled into this study, if you:
  • are 18 to 65 years of age;
  • have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with symptoms prior to age 40;
  • are insulin dependent for at least 5 years, with three or more injections each day or on insulin pump therapy;
  • have blood tests that show your body does not make insulin;
  • are managing your diabetes daily, by checking you blood sugar at least three times a day;
  • have had at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia in the past year where you needed the help of another person; and
  • have hypoglycemia unawareness, a condition in which you no longer experience the usual warning signs of hypoglycemia.

Islet Transplantation in Type 1 Diabetes (CIT-07)You may be enrolled into this study, if you:
  • are 18 to 65 years of age;
  • have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes with symptoms prior to age 40;
  • are insulin dependent for at least 5 years, with three or more injections each day or on insulin pump therapy;
  • have blood tests that show your body does not make insulin;
  • are managing your diabetes daily, by checking you blood sugar at least three times a day;
  • have had at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia in the past year where you needed the help of another person; and
  • have hypoglycemia unawareness, a condition in which you no longer experience the usual warning signs of hypoglycemia.

CTLA-4 Ig (Abatacept) in Recent Onset Diabetes (TrialNet)To be screened for the abatacept study, research volunteers need to be: (1) 6 to 45 years old; and (2) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes less than 3 months ago. Screening tests, including blood tests, will help decide who can participate in this study.
