Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals with type 1 diabetes, other types of diabetes, or healthy individuals without any autoimmune or metabolic disorders.

Probably not a fit

Patients with ongoing pregnancy or known HIV/HCV infections may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect biological samples from individuals with type 1 diabetes, other forms of diabetes, and healthy controls to analyze the characteristics of autoimmune T and B lymphocytes. By comparing these immune cells across different groups, the study seeks to clarify the mechanisms behind type 1 diabetes and identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. The research is conducted across multiple centers in France, focusing on non-interventional biosampling.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for type 1 diabetes.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in characterizing autoimmune responses in diabetes, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.

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.
