International, randomized, double-blinded trial to determine whether weaning to a casein hydrolysate formula during the first 6-8 months of life in place of cow milk based formula reduces the incidence of autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes in genetically susceptible newborn infants. 2160 eligible infants were randomized to test or control formulas when mothers decide to wean from exclusive breastfeeding. The participants will be monitored up to the age of 10 years for the appearance of diabetes-predictive autoantibodies and clinical type 1 diabetes. The TRIGR trial will determine whether delayed exposure to intact food proteins will reduce the chances of developing type 1 diabetes later in life. All babies in the study received the recommendation to breastfeed for at least the first six months of life. If a mother was unable to exclusively breastfeed before the baby was 8 months of age, her child was randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group of these babies received a trial formula based on extensively hydrolyzed protein; the other group received another trial formula containing a smaller amount of hydrolyzed protein. In the hydrolyzed formula, the big protein molecules have been split into very small fragments to provide a source of nutritional amino acids, but the fragments are likely too small to stimulate the immune system. The TRIGR trial will also be able to analyze whether exclusive breastfeeding per se can reduce the risk of the children to develop type 1 diabetes.

http://www.immunetolerance.org/

International clinical research consortium dedicated to the clinical evaluation of novel tolerogenic approaches for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergic diseases, and the prevention of graft rejection. They aim to advance the clinical application of immune tolerance by performing high quality clinical trials of emerging therapeutics integrated with mechanism-based research. In particular, they aim to: * Establish new tolerance therapeutics * Develop a better understanding of the mechanisms of immune function and disease pathogenesis * Identify new biomarkers of tolerance and disease Their goals are to identify and develop treatment game changers for tolerance modulating therapies for the treatment of immune mediated diseases and disabling conditions, and to conduct high quality, innovative clinical trials and mechanistic studies not likely to be funded by other sources or to be conducted by private industry that advance our understanding of immunological disorders. In the Immune Tolerance Network's (ITN) unique hybrid academic/industry model, the areas of academia, government and industry are integral to planning and conducting clinical studies. They develop and fund clinical trials and mechanistic studies in partnership. Their development model is a unique, interactive process. It capitalizes on their wide-ranging, multidisciplinary expertise provided by an advisory board of highly respected faculty from institutions worldwide. This model gives investigators special insight into developing high quality research studies. The ITN is comprised of leading scientific and medical faculty from more than 50 institutions in nine countries worldwide and employs over 80 full-time staff at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Bethesda, Maryland and Benaroya Research Institute in Seattle, Washington.

http://www.ncibi.org/

The Center develops conceptual models, computational infrastructure, an integrated knowledge repository, and query and analysis tools that enable scientists to effectively access and integrate the wealth of biological data. The National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI) was founded in October 2005 and is one of seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) in the NIH Roadmap. NCIBI is based at the University of Michigan as a part of the Center for Computational Medicine and Biology (CCMB). NCIBI is composed of biomedical researchers, computational biologists, computer scientists, developers and human-computer interaction specialists organized into seven major core functions. They work in interdisciplinary teams to collectively develop tools that are not only computationally powerful but also biologically relevant and meaningful. The four initial Driving Biological Projects (prostate cancer progression, Type 1 and type 2 diabetes and bipolar disorder) provide the nucleation point from which tool development is informed, launched, and tested. In addition to testing tools for function, a separate team is dedicated to testing usability and user interaction that is a unique feature of this Center. Once tools are developed and validated the goal of the Center is to share and disseminate data and software throughout the research community both internally and externally. This is achieved through various mechanisms such as training videos, tutorials, and demonstrations and presentations at national and international scientific conferences. NCIBI is supported by NIH Grant # U54-DA021519.
