OPTI-2 Trial Summary

"This trial aims to test if delivering insulin directly to the liver can help improve low blood sugar in Type 1 diabetes patients. Participants will monitor their blood sugar levels using continuous glucose monitoring and work with their

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Type 1 Diabetes who are already using Insulin Degludec. Participants should be willing to monitor their blood sugar continuously and work with doctors on dosing. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria details were not provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares HDV-Insulin Lispro, which targets the liver, against regular Insulin Lispro in managing blood sugar levels in Type 1 diabetes patients over a period of up to 32 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical insulin-related reactions such as low blood sugar episodes, injection site reactions, weight gain, allergic reactions, and possibly liver-specific effects due to targeted action.
