Scientists dive deep into immune cells to unlock type 1 diabetes secrets
NCT ID NCT05139784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting blood samples from 1,160 people with and without type 1 diabetes to analyze the immune cells that mistakenly attack the pancreas. The goal is to better understand how these cells work, which could lead to improved treatments or prevention strategies in the future. Participants are not given any treatment; they simply provide samples for research.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Type 1 diabetes: type 1 diabetes, as defined by hyperglycemia and long-term insulin therapy started within 6 months from clinical onset; and/or the presence of at least one anti-islet auto-antibody. 2. Other forms of diabetes or autoimmune endocrinopathy: other forms of diabetes (e.g. type 2, ketosis-prone, familial, secondary, immunotherapy-induced diabetes); and/or other autoimmune endocrinopathies, isolated or multiple. 3. No diabetes: absence of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance; absence of tumor, infectious or immune pathologies, or other conditions related to autoimmune or metabolic alterations that may bias the variables under study. 4. Lymphadenectomy planned in the frame of an abdominal surgery: pancreatic lymphadenectomy planned at the occasion of an abdominal surgery for the treatment of an underlying condition. Exclusion Criteria: For all participants: ongoing pregnancy; known HIV/HCV infection; absence of social security coverage; placement under judicial protection; absence of signature of the informed study consent.
