NCT ID NCT07222137
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether the drug baricitinib can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes in children aged 1 to 36 months who are at high risk. Participants take baricitinib or a placebo daily for up to 5 years. The goal is to see if the drug can push back or prevent the need for insulin treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- baricitinib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a way to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes in children at high risk, potentially avoiding lifelong insulin dependence.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 3 trial with only 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Baricitinib is an immunosuppressant and may have side effects like increased infection risk.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
