Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Age under 10 or over 17. 2.Lack of consent of at least one the guardian LAR to participate in the study. 3.Treatment with any oral or injected anti-diabetic medications other than insulin. 4.The participant or close participant’s family history, past or present of allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to fenofibrate or any of the excipients (including patients with hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption). 5.Severe hypersensitivity reaction to any other drug. 6.Subjects with current or history of clinically significant renal impairment. 7.Subjects with current or history of clinically significant hepatic impairment. 8.Subjects with current or history of significant gastrointestinal disease including celiac disease, gastroparesis, another disorder of intestinal absorption or motility. 9.Subject with current or history of gall bladder disease. 10.Present or history of chronic or acute pancreatitis, except acute pancreatitis due to severe hypertriglyceridaemia. 11.Photosensitivity or phototoxic reactions after the use of fibrates or chemically related substances, e.g. ketoprofen. 12.Subjects who tested positive for pregnancy at screening and V0 Visit or who are currently breastfeeding. 13.Low blood albumin defined as clinically significant by investigator. 14.Patients with pre-disposing factors for myopathy and/or rhabdomyolysis, including personal and familial history of hereditary muscular disorders. Unexplained persistent elevated creatine phosphokinase levels considered clinically significant by the investigator. 15.The presence of circumstances that the researcher considers problematic when obtaining informed consent or meeting the study guidelines, or that may invalidate the interpretation of test results or expose participants to unnecessary risk. 16.Inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures. 17.Any medical condition or treatment the Investigator believes may expose the Participant to unnecessary risk during the study. 18.Participation in interventional or other drug research studies which could affect the objectives of this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluation of the effectiveness of fenofibrate at a dose of 160 mg / day in maintaining residual pancreatic beta cell function in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1DM).;Secondary Objective: Confirm safety and tolerability of fenofibrate at a dose of 160 mg / day in subjects with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1DM).;Primary end point(s): Assessment of pancreatic beta cell function by comparing the AUC area under the curve in the C-peptide stimulation test: Change in the mean insulin secretion measured based on the C-peptide area under the curve in the stimulation test at individual time points in the compared groups of patients;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months after starting treatment (ending treatment)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Fasting c-peptide concentration and maximum c-peptide concentration in the stimulation test, • Parameters of diabetes control and glucose fluctuations (including HbA1c, mean blood glucose with standard deviation, variability index, time spent in normoglycemia), • Daily and basic insulin requirements • Inflammation markers • Safety and tolerance of the fenofibrate ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3, 6, 9, 12 months from the start of treatment.
