What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of VX-880 infusion in people with Type 1 diabetes who have trouble sensing low blood sugar and experience severe low blood sugar episodes. The treatment aims to help manage their blood sugar levels better.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that you should have a stable diabetic treatment, which might mean you can continue your current regimen.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for people with Type 1 diabetes who've had it for over 5 years and have trouble sensing when their blood sugar gets too low. They should have had at least two serious low blood sugar events in the past year and must be using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for three months before, and during, the study.

Inclusion Criteria
