TrialNet clinical center

This circle-spoke diagram sample shows the type 1 diabetes (T1D) TrialNet clinical center and three affiliate centers. It was designed on the base of the circle-spoke diagram from the webpage "Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet: Clinical Centers" from the website of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). "The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is seeking applications for TrialNet Clinical Centers to participate in multi-center clinical research studies aimed at prevention, delay of progression, or remission of T1D. These Clinical Centers will also be responsible for the oversight of a network of TrialNet Affiliate Centers involved in TrialNet study recruitment and follow-up. TrialNet seeks to continue to study therapies (such as immunotherapies) aimed at preventing or delaying the development of T1D in persons at risk. Depending upon available evidence, initial studies may be conducted in patients with recent onset of T1D and will be aimed at decreasing b-cell destruction and/or enhancing b-cell survival in persons with recently-diagnosed T1D and evidence of residual b-cell function. If such treatments are effective and safe, clinical trials to prevent development of T1D in at-risk individuals may be initiated."
