It also helps researchers learn more about how T1D develops and plan new studies exploring ways to prevent it. Eligible participants are between the ages of 2.5 and 45 years and have a parent, brother/sister, or child with T1D, between the ages of 2.5 and 20 years and have an aunt/uncle, cousin, grandparent, niece/nephew, or half-brother/sister with T1D, and have NOT been diagnosed with T1D.

HealthPartners International Diabetes Center (4)
(1 of 4) Newly diagnosed T1D within a month:
- BETA-PRESERVE: A randomized, double-blind, Phase 3 study to investigate efficacy and safety of teplizumab compared with placebo in participants 1 to 25 years of age with recently diagnosed Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
- Purpose of study: This study is looking at how an investigational study drug, called teplizumab, might possibly help protect insulin-producing cells by affecting the immune cells that attack them. The main goal of the study is to see if teplizumab can work better than a placebo (a look alike with no medicine in it) in helping people keep their blood sugar in a healthy range or use less mealtime insulin. Teplizumab is already FDA approved for use in earlier-stage of type 1 diabetes.
