To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Antithymocyte Globulin
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo (for ATG)

Experimental: Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) - Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) will be intravenously administered over two days, with a total of 2 infusion periods. The first infusion is given at baseline visit (day 1), the second is given the next day at baseline visit (day 2). Body weight at baseline (Day 0- admission for the ATG/placebo infusion) will be used in calculating the doses for all infusions. The first dose (0.5mg/kg) will be infused over a minimum of 4 hours, and the second dose (2mg/kg) over a minimum of 4 hours with a maximum infusion time for each infusion of 10 hours. The second dose should be given no less than 12 and no more than 30 hours from the start of the first infusion. The final prepared product is to be labeled to protect the blind. Infusions may be administered either in a hospital or outpatient setting at the investigator's or institutions discretion.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP ("Normal" saline) is to be dispensed as the placebo for this study. The placebo is to be prepared dispensing an infusion bag of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP ("Normal" saline) with no additives (no ATG, no premedications) and label the product to protect the blind. The placebo will also be administered over a minimum of 4 hours for the first and second doses with a maximum infusion time of 10 hours. The second dose of the placebo arm should be given no less than 12 and no more than 30 hours from the start of the first infusion. Infusions may be administered either in a hospital or outpatient setting at the investigator's or institutions discretion.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Willing to provide informed consent or have a parent or legal guardian provide informed consent when the subject is <18 years of age.
2. Age greater than or equal to 6 and < 35 years
3. At least two or more diabetes-related biochemical autoantibodies (mIAA, GADA, ICA, IA-2A, ZnT8A) present on the same sample. In the absence of other antibodies, ICA and GADA positivity alone will not suffice for eligibility in this trial.
4. Weight greater than the 5th percentile for age and sex.
5. BMI < 95th and > 5th percentile for age for those under age 18 years and < 30 and > 15 for adults (= 18)
6. ADA Stage 2 criteria* AND at least one of the following high-risk markers (occurring at the same visit) within 7 weeks (52 days) of randomization, defined below (for defining a 2-year 50% risk for progression to Stage 3 T1D):

a. HbA1c = 5.7 and <6.5% b. Index60 = 1.4 i. Index60 = 0.3695 × (log fasting C-peptide [ng/mL]) + 0.0165 × 60-min glucose (mg/dL) - 0.3644 × 60-min C-peptide (ng/mL) c. DPTRS = 7.4 DPTRS = (1.57 x log BMI) - (0.06 x age) + (0.81 x glucose sum from 30 to 120 min/100) - (0.85 x C-peptide sum from 30 to 120 min/10) + (0.48 x log fasting C-peptide)

*Dysglycemia is defined as 2-hr glucose = 140 and <200 mg/dL or fasting glucose = 110 and <126 or 30, 60, or 90 minute glucose = 200 mg/dL from OGTT
7. All subjects must be CMV and EBV PCR negative within 30 days of randomization and may not have had signs or symptoms of a CMV or EBV-compatible illness lasting longer than 7 days within 30 days of randomization
8. Seated blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg for participants = 18 years. For participants < 18 years seated blood pressure less than 95th percentile for age, sex and height.
9. Be at least 4 weeks from last live immunization
10. Participants are required to receive non-live influenza vaccination at least 2 weeks prior to randomization when vaccine for the current or upcoming flu season is available.
11. Participants must also have a negative COVID-19 test within 7 days of the first day of treatment if otherwise eligible
12. Willingness to comply with study directed social distancing and protection from SARS-Cov-2 infection.
13. Be willing to forgo vaccines (other than killed influenza) during the 3 months after study drug treatment period (Days 0 and 1)
14. Be up to date on all recommended vaccinations based on age of subject*
15. With the exception of stage 2 T1D, subjects must be healthy, as defined by absence of any other untreated diagnoses that the protocol committee deems to be a potential confounder.
16. If a female participant with reproductive potential, willing to avoid pregnancy (abstinence or adequate contraceptive method) through the completion of the study infusions and up to 3 months after study drug administration and undergo pregnancy testing prior to each study visit.
17. Must be residing or have accommodations within 1 hour of the infusion site during the two days of study drug infusions and must be within 1 hour of a medical care facility for 1 day after completion of infusion 2.
18. Participants must live in a location with rapid access to emergency medical services.

* Adult participants must be fully immunized. Pediatric participants who have not completed their primary vaccination schedule must receive all vaccinations allowable per the national/country-specific immunization guidelines for their current age prior to study drug delivery. Any remaining vaccinations should be given and continue per the schedule at least 3 months after study drug is administered. For COVID-19 vaccination, all participants will be strongly encouraged to be up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccine(s) as indicated by country-specific guidelines at least 2 weeks prior to randomization.
