New drug cocktail aims to tame type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT05696366
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a combination of two drugs, sotagliflozin and volagidemab, can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. The 24 participants will receive both drugs or a placebo in a crossover design. The goal is to see if this approach can help manage the disease more effectively.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sotagliflozin and volagidemab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new way to help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and reduce diabetes-related complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 24 people. The drugs may not work as hoped or could cause side effects. Results may not apply to everyone with type 1 diabetes.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men and women between the ages of 18 and 70 years old, inclusive, at the time of screening; 2. Females of non-childbearing potential must be ≥ 1 year post-menopausal or documented as being surgically sterile. Females of childbearing potential must agree to use two methods of contraception during the entire study and for an additional 3 months after the end of dosing with the investigational product; 3. Male subjects must be willing to use clinically acceptable method of contraception during the entire study and for an additional 6 months after the end of the treatment period; 4. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes based on clinical history or as defined by the current American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria; 5. Treatment with a stable insulin regimen for at least 8 weeks before screening with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) via an insulin pump or hybrid closed loop system; 6. Currently using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system; 7. A1c \> 7% and ≤ 10% 8. eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m²; 9. Able to provide written informed consent approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Exclusion Criteria: 1. History or evidence of clinically significant disorder or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion; 2. History of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid carcinoma or liver disease; 3. Clinically significant diagnosis of anemia (Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dl at screening); 4. Body Mass Index (BMI) \< 18.5 kg/m2 and/or weight \<50kg; 5. Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 35 kg/m2 6. Whole blood donation of 1 pint (500 mL) within 8 weeks prior to Screening. Donations of plasma, packed RBCs, platelets or quantities less than 500 mL are allowed at investigator discretion; 7. Current or recent (within 1 month of screening) use of diabetes medications other than insulin; (examples include GLP-1 RA, SGLT-2i, Pramlintide, Metformin); 8. Women who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding; 9. Unable or unwilling to follow the study protocol or who are non-compliant with screening appointments or study visits; 10. Any other condition(s) that might reduce the chance of obtaining study data, or that might cause safety concerns, or that might compromise the ability to give truly informed consent.
