Trial design
Randomised, atg/placebo (group b): matched placebo capsules (microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, citric acid monohydrate, magnesium stearate) administered orally as matched placebo; comparator includes single low dose rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin) infusion. ladarixin arm (group a) receives oral ladarixin (product info: max daily dose 800 mg, max total dose 1200 mg; route oral) in association with a single low dose atg infusion (product info: dose unit mg/kg, max daily dose 1.0 mg/kg, max total dose 2.5 mg/kg; route infusion).-controlled Phase II trial across 1 site in Italy.

Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- The primary endpoint of the study is the change from baseline in the area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (YAUC) at 2 hour MMTT conducted at the 12 month visit.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Change from baseline in the area under the stimulated C-peptide curve (YAUC) measured during a 2-hour Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) at the 12-month visit."}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Changes in: 1) fasting and stimulated C-peptide 2) HbA1c 3) daily insulin requirements throughout the study 4) time in range (70-180 mg/dl), time in tight range (70-140 mg/dl), time below range (<70 mg/dl), glucose management index by CGM and %CV as measure of glucose variability 5) QoL, patient treatment satisfaction and fear of hypoglycemia will be assessed using the Diabetes-Specific Quality of Life (DSQoL) Questionnaire and the FH-15 Questionnaire, both validated in Italian. 6) a","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Changes measured by fasting and stimulated C-peptide, HbA1c, daily insulin dose requirements, CGM-derived metrics (time in range 70-180 mg/dl, time in tight range 70-140 mg/dl, time below range <70 mg/dl), glucose management index and %CV for variability, and patient-reported outcomes using DSQoL and FH-15 questionnaires; safety via descriptive analysis of AEs/SAEs at 12 months."}
