Study Summary

"This trial is testing a drug called AT-1501, which is a man-made protein that works like the natural antibodies in our body. It is designed to help prevent the immune system from attacking trans

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with brittle Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, diagnosed for over 5 years and onset before age 40. Participants must have had at least three severe hypoglycemic episodes in the past year not due to missed meals or dosing errors, an HbA1c level between 7.0% and 9.5%, no C-peptide response after a meal test, impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, and be under regular diabetes management.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing AT-1501, a man-made antibody designed to suppress the immune system without harming transplanted islet cells that produce insulin. This could help prevent the body from rejecting these cells in patients with T1D who receive cell transplants to manage their condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As AT-1501 works by suppressing the immune system, potential side effects may include increased risk of infections, possible infusion reactions where the drug enters the body, allergic responses or autoimmunity issues where the body attacks its own cells.
