Trial overview
The main trial in the data is the SAFEGUARD study, which stands for SAFety and Efficacy of Human Anti-thymocyte ImmunoGlobUlin SAB-142 ARresting Progression of Type 1 Diabetes. It is studying HUMAN POLYCLONAL IMMUNOGLOBULIN G AGAINST THYMOCYTE in people with type 1 diabetes.[1]
The study is authorised, which means it has been approved to move forward in the listed setting.[1]
Who is being studied
This trial is for people who were recently diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes.[1]
Stage 3 type 1 diabetes means the disease is already clearly present and diagnosed, and the study focuses on this early period after diagnosis.[1]
Study design and phase
This is an interventional study, which means the researchers are giving a study treatment and then watching what happens.[1]
The trial is in Phase 2, a stage where researchers look more closely at safety and begin to test whether the treatment may help the disease.[1]
The planned enrollment is 190 people.[1]
What researchers are measuring
The primary outcomes include recording and reviewing any health problems or side effects that happen during the study.[1]
Researchers are also checking measures of pancreas function related to insulin production, which helps show whether the pancreas is still making insulin well.[1]
The brief summary says the study wants to learn about safety and tolerability, and also find out whether the treatment can slow the decline of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas over the course of the study.[1]
Treatment regimens in the study
The intervention list includes SAB-142 given by intravenous administration and a sodium chloride infusion used as the comparison treatment.[1]
SAB-142 is named in the trial details as the study drug linked to HUMAN POLYCLONAL IMMUNOGLOBULIN G AGAINST THYMOCYTE.[1]
Why this trial matters
This study is trying to answer an important question: can treatment given soon after diagnosis help protect the pancreas in type 1 diabetes?[1]
By focusing on safety, tolerability, and pancreas function, the trial is designed to show both how people handle the treatment and whether it may help preserve insulin-making cells.[1]
