What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called AMX0035 can improve how the body responds to insulin in adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants take either AMX0035 or a placebo daily for 24 weeks. Researchers measure insulin sensitivity using a glucose clamp test and track blood sugar control with continuous monitors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate + taurursodiol)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in people with type 1 diabetes, potentially reducing insulin needs.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not improve insulin sensitivity or could cause side effects.
