OBJECTIVE: The T1GER (A Study of SIMPONI to Arrest ß-Cell Loss in Type 1 Diabetes) study showed many metabolic benefits of the tumor necrosis factor-α blocker golimumab in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Off-therapy effects are reported. RESEARCH DESIGNS AND METHODS: T1GER was a phase 2, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in which golimumab or placebo was administered for 52 weeks to participants 6-21 years old diagnosed with T1D within 100 days of randomization. Assessments occurred during the 52-week on-therapy and 52-week off-therapy periods. RESULTS: After treatment was stopped, C-peptide area under the curve (AUC) remained greater in the treatment versus control group. At weeks 78 and 104, the golimumab group had lower reductions in the 4-h C-peptide AUC baseline than the placebo group, where specifically the golimumab group had reductions of 0.31 and 0.41 nmol/L, and the placebo group had reductions of 0.64 and 0.74 nmol/L. There were also trends in less insulin use, higher peak C-peptide levels and those in partial remission, and higher peak C-peptide levels in the golimumab group. Golimumab responders, defined as having an increase or minimal loss of C-peptide AUC and/or being in partial remission at week 52, showed even greater improvements in most metabolic parameters on and off therapy and had less hypoglycemia during the off-therapy period versus placebo. Adverse events, including infections, were similar between the groups during all time periods of the study. CONCLUSIONS: In children and young adults with new-onset T1D, golimumab preserved endogenous ß-cell function and resulted in other favorable metabolic parameters on and off therapy. A subpopulation had disease stabilization while on therapy, with improved metabolic parameters off therapy.
