Autoantibody Positive Non-diabetic Relatives at Risk for Type 1 Diabetes High Risk Impaired Glucose Tolerance | Drug: Teplizumab Drug: Placebo infusion | Phase 2 |
The study plans to enroll approximately 71 subjects between the ages of 8-45 years, over 2-3 years. The study is projected to last between 4-6 years, depending upon rate of enrollment and number of subjects who develop diabetes.
The main study objective is to determine whether intervention with teplizumab will prevent or delay the development of type 1 diabetes in high risk autoantibody positive non-diabetic relatives of individuals with T1D. Secondary outcomes are to include analyses of C-peptide and other measures from Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing (OGTT), safety, tolerability, and other mechanistic outcomes will be assessed during the study.
