Immune drug trial aims to ease diabetes burden in kids with rare fat disorder

NCT ID NCT03936829

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called cyclophosphamide can help children who have both a rare autoimmune fat-loss condition (lipodystrophy) and type 1 diabetes. The drug aims to calm the immune system to improve how the body uses insulin, potentially lowering the very high insulin doses these children need. It involves a small group of 10 participants to see if this approach makes blood sugar easier to manage.
