“Derek Rapp, the president and CEO of Breakthrough T1D, the leading global organization funding type 1 #diabetes (#T1D) research, is familiar with the challenges patients face when trying to find a trial. He has one son who was diagnosed with the disease almost 12 years ago and a second son who has spent years participating in a clinical trial, as he has multiple antibodies (a precursor to the disease) and is at risk of contracting it, as well.”

Clinical Trials Connection is a clinical trial matching tool for the T1D community brought to you by Breakthrough T1D and TrialReach. Participating in a clinical trial is a great way for people to contribute to the development of new therapies to cure, prevent and treat T1D. This new tool makes it easier than ever for people with T1D and their families to find clinical trials for which they may be eligible.
