Amevive, Psoriasis Drug, Shows Promise For Treating Type 1 Diabetes

Posted: at 2:41 pm

By Amir Khan

A new treatment for type 1 diabetes may lie in an existing drug for other autoimmune diseases, according to a new study, published today in The Lancet. Researchers from the Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University found that the drug alefacept, used to treat psoriasis for more than a decade, can also help treat type 1 diabetes and reduce the need for insulin injections. But with the drug manufacturer ceasing production, the finding may serve more as a proof-of-concept than a promising new treatment.

Researchers tested alefacept, sold under the brand name Amevive, on 33 people over the course of a year, and compared them to 16 people who were given a placebo. After 12 months, insulin use was much higher in the placebo group than in the group that was given alefacept, according to the study. But the drug didnt reduce their need for insulin, researchers said, it simply stopped it from getting worse.

"It is the first targeted biological drug assessed in patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes that significantly depleted the T cells which attack the pancreas in type 1 diabetes, while preserving other immune cells which are important for pancreatic function, study author Mark Rigby, MD, an assistant professor in the department of pediatrics at Indiana University, said in a statement.

But while the drug showed promise, its unclear just how effective it was, said Karin Hehenberger, MD, PhD, a diabetes specialist and executive vice president of scientific affairs for Coronado Biosciences.

Its great to see this mechanism, but just showing that insulin requirement is reduced is extremely difficult to prove, Dr. Hehenberger said. Theres so much that drives insulin use. One person might start exercising or eating better, so controlling for this in a study is very difficult.

Hehenberger said it would be more promising if the study showed consistent, reduced A1C levels, a biomarker that shows how well blood sugar is controlled.

In addition, while the drug showed promise, it was voluntarily taken off the market in December 2011, Hehenberger said.

Censorship hides, but it does not eliminate

Posted: at 2:41 pm

Published:Tuesday, September 24, 2013

Updated:Tuesday, September 24, 2013 03:09

The Great Gatsby. The Catcher in the Rye. Where the Wild Things Are. To Kill a Mockingbird. These books have been institutionalized as American classics.

These titles top required reading lists and are regularly referenced in modern literature. But if the bans on these books had stuck, many of us never would have read them.

This week is National Banned Books Week, and this is a time when we are reminded of the threat of censorship and the potential loss of the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and ideas.

Bookstores and libraries celebrate the freedom to read by displaying the books that could have been lost to bans. This weeks reminder causes us to question why these books were banned and what the implications of these bans may be for us as students.

How can we learn if we are unexposed to the diversity of ideas and opinions that exist? Provocative content and the acknowledgement of historically marginalized groups and ideologies sparks public pushback. Homosexuality, explicit language, violence, mental illness, race and religion are controversial and often divisive topics in contested books. However, hiding these ideas does not make them go away.

Reading spurs knowledge and awareness. One would be hard-pressed to disagree that education is the foundation of a healthy, functioning democracy. By silencing the freedom of expression and opinion we are only doing a disservice to ourselves as a nation.

In other words, if new ideas are never considered, progress cannot be made. We acknowledge this potential for progress is likely the reason for much of the pushback and the urge for bans.

But, perhaps, the lack of acknowlegment and awareness is more dangerous than the existence of these provocative ideas themselves. These texts do not exist to promote or glamorize these ideas, but rather to shed light on them.
