NCT ID NCT05428943
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing an investigational drug called OPT101 in adults with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see if it is safe and how it affects the immune system. Participants will receive multiple doses of the drug, and researchers will monitor for side effects and measure drug levels in the blood.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OPT101, a peptide derived from mouse CD154
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment that helps manage type 1 diabetes by modulating the immune system.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet established. The peptide may not produce the desired immune effects or could cause side effects.
