Summary

This study tests whether a lab-made antibody called Tegoprubart can safely prevent the immune system from attacking transplanted islet cells in people with type 1 diabetes who have dangerous low blood sugar. The goal is to help patients stop needing insulin without using standard anti-rejection drugs that can harm the new cells. Up to 70 adults aged 18-65 will receive the antibody and be monitored for insulin independence and blood sugar control.
