Summary

This study tests brivekimig, a drug that targets inflammation, to see if it can help people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes keep making their own insulin. About 84 adults and adolescents will receive either brivekimig or a placebo for 52 weeks. The main goal is to measure insulin production after 26 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

brivekimig (a dual anti-TNF-α and anti-OX40L antibody-like molecule)

What this could lead to

If successful, brivekimig could help people with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes keep making some of their own insulin, reducing their dependence on injected insulin.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2a trial with only 84 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not preserve insulin production better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
