Immunotherapy Delays Type 1 Diabetes Onset in People at High Risk
A two-week course of an experimental immunotherapy called teplizumab dramatically reduced type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis rates in people at high risk for the disease, according to newly published phase II clinical trial results. This is the first time a drug has been able to delay or prevent the disease, which affects 2 million people in the United States.
