Summary

This study tests whether dimethyl fumarate, a drug already used for multiple sclerosis, can help preserve the cells that make insulin in adults newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. About 90 participants will take either the drug or a placebo twice daily for 24 weeks. Researchers will measure how well the pancreas still produces insulin and monitor for side effects.
