NCT ID NCT07142252

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a drug called rezpegaldesleukin in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (within 100 days). The goal is to see if it can help the body keep producing some insulin, reducing the need for injected insulin. 66 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo every two weeks for 26 weeks, and their insulin production will be measured after 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Rezpegaldesleukin (NKTR-358)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help people with new-onset type 1 diabetes keep making some of their own insulin, reducing the need for injected insulin.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 66 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not preserve insulin production better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
