FABULINUS Trial Summary

This trial evaluates safety/efficacy of frexalimab in adults & teens w/ newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes, comparing 3 age-adjusted dose-levels with placebo. Will assess preservation of insulin secretion, and determine dose-response & minimal efficacious dose. Up to 135 weeks total duration.

Who is the study for?
The FABULINUS trial is for young individuals with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. Participants must be between 12-21 years old, vaccinated according to local schedules, and have started insulin therapy within the last 90 days. They should test positive for certain diabetes-related autoantibodies and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study tests Frexalimab's safety and effectiveness in preserving natural insulin production compared to a placebo in youths on standard insulin treatment. It's a double-blind Phase 2 trial with two parts: initial dose safety assessment followed by dose-finding over up to 104 weeks of treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions due to Frexalimab or the placebo on top of their regular insulin therapy throughout the study.
