New antibody drug aims to save Insulin-Making cells in type 1 diabetes

NCT ID NCT07670650

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 study tests SAB-142, an antibody that targets immune cells, in 108 people aged 5 to 40 with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see if it can preserve the body's ability to produce insulin over 12 months. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo alongside standard diabetes care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

SAB-142 (a lab-made antibody that targets immune cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, SAB-142 could help people with type 1 diabetes keep making some of their own insulin for longer, reducing the need for injected insulin.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 3 trial with only 108 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not preserve insulin production better than placebo, and there are risks from the immune-suppressing effects of the antibody.
