Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Overall Study Objective: Describe the influence of the Azithromycin Insulin Diet intervention trial (AIDIT) protocol consisting of long-term Azithromycin treatment combined with insulin-induced beta-cell rest and nutritional intervention on beta cell preservation in children newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Primary objective: To compare the AIDIT protocol with treatment as usual at 12 months after diagnosis with respect to residual insulin secretion measured by mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) stimulated C-peptide. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives: To compare the two treatment regimens with respect to a number of defined variables, listed in the study protocol section 2.5. ;Primary end point(s): Residual insulin secretion measured by mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) stimulated C-peptide two-hour under the curve profile measured one year after study inclusion.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months after inclusion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Proportion of subjects with time in target 3.9-7.8 mmol/L = 60% and with a glycaemic variability expressed as standard deviation < 2 mmol/L according to continuous glucose monitoring during two weeks in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 2. Time in target (3.9-7.8 mmol/L) during 30 days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 3. Time in range (3.9-10 mmol/L) during 30 days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 4. Mean daily insulin dosage per kilo bodyweight during 30 days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment.. 5. HbA1c at 12 months after study initiation 6. Number of severe hypoglycaemic events (hypoglycaemia level 3) during the study year. 7. Time in hypoglycaemic range level 1 and 2 (<3.9 mmol/l and <3.0 mmol/l) respectively in CGM registrations during 30 days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 8. Insulin-dose-adjusted HbA1c (IDAA1c) 12 months after study initiation 9. Pro-insulin/c-peptide ratio in serum 12 months after study initiation 10. Inflammation in the pancreas measured by contrast enhanced MRI at 12 months after initiation of the study 11. Health related Quality of Life; Varni PedsQL, Generic and Diabetes specific questionnaire, by child and proxy (parents or other caregivers) at study start and 12 months after study initiation. 12. Questionnaire on gastrointestinal symptoms: ”The gastrointestinal symptom rating scale” (GSRS) at study start and 12 months after study initiation . 13. Average time spent eating at meals during four days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 14. Intake of saturated fat (E% and if the child reaches Nordic Nutritional Recommendations, NNR) during four days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 15. Intake of fruit and vegetables (g/day and if the child reaches NNR) during four days in the 12th month after initiation of the study treatment. 16. Intake of
