Breakthrough T1D is pleased that the European Commission has approved Tezeild (Tzield in the U.S.) to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) in individuals with stage 2 T1D who are eight years of age and older. The approval represents an important step forward for the global T1D community.
Tezeild is the first disease-modifying therapy that addresses the root cause of T1D, not the symptoms. It has been shown to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D by an average of three years and has been approved for use in the UK, China, Canada, Israel, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.
