New injection aims to save Insulin-Making cells in type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06964087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called OPT101 in adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the last 20 years. Participants receive injections three times a week for up to one year. The goal is to see if OPT101 can safely help the body keep making its own insulin, reducing the need for injected insulin. The trial involves 72 people and compares different doses to a placebo.

Willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor for the duration of the trial (e.g., Freestyle Libre 3). 3\. Male or female aged ≥18 to 50 years on the day of signing informed consent. 4. Diagnosis of T1DM within the last 20 years for Part A, within 1 to 10 years \[N=15 at \>5 to 10, N=12 at 1 to 5 yrs\] for Part B, within less than or equal to 1 year for Part C. 5\. For Parts B and C only, T-cell phenotype Th40 level greater than or equal to 35% of CD3+ leukocytes (performed at the OPT lab). 6\. Is medically stable based on physical examination, medical history, laboratory results, and vital signs performed at screening. 7\. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative highly sensitive serum test (beta- human chorionic gonadotropin) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at the Visit 1 Day 1 prior to receiving the investigational product. 8\. WOCBP must agree to use one of the following methods of birth control for the duration of the clinical trial: Systemic hormonal contraceptive (oral, injected, transdermal), intrauterine device, double barrier (e.g., cervical cap or diaphragm with condom or spermicide). Men with female partners must agree to use double barrier contraception, unless their partner is using systemic hormonal contraceptives or has an intrauterine device. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Current malignancy or history of malignancy other than basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma in situ. 2\. Has an immune deficiency syndrome (for example, severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, T-cell deficiency syndromes, B-cell deficiency syndromes, or chronic granulomatous disease), or bone marrow or organ transplantation, or a disease associated with lymphopenia. 3\. Has chronic kidney disease of Stage 2 or higher with eGFR of \<90 mL/min/1.73m2. 4\. Is currently receiving an immuno-modulatory treatment. 5. Patients with a history of venous and arterial thromboembolic events including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or arterial insufficiency causing digital gangrene. 2. Patients with recent immobilization or recent surgery. 3. Patients with a history of abnormal prothrombotic laboratories such as congenital or inherited deficiency of antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, or confirmed diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. 6\. Has an active infections, is prone to infections or has chronic, recurrent or opportunistic infectious disease, including but not limited to, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection, sinusitis, recurrent urinary tract infection, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, aspergillosis, latent or active granulomatous infection, histoplasmosis, or coccidioidomycosis or an open, draining, or infected non-healing skin wound or ulcer. 7\. Has recent or active hepatitis A infection, current/chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection, or HIV infection. Participants with immunity to hepatitis B from previous infection, defined as negative HBsAg, positive anti-HBc, and positive hepatitis B surface antibody \[anti-HBs\] or vaccination \[defined as negative HBsAg, negative anti-HBc, and positive anti-HBs\] are eligible to participate. 8\. Has a history of latent or active tuberculosis. 9. Has received a live attenuated vaccine within the last 60 days including patients who plan to receive live attenuated vaccines during the study or within 60 days after the final dose of study treatment. 10\. Patients with the following should be excluded: <!-- --> 1. Abnormal coagulation test at screening: prothrombin time (PT; \>14 sec), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT; \>32 sec) or fibrinogen level (\<190 or \>450 mg/dL). 2. Abnormal liver function tests (except in the case of known Gilbert's syndrome): i. AST or ALT ≥3x ULN and total bilirubin ≥2x ULN ii. AST or ALT ≥5x ULN iii. Abnormal platelet counts (\<150 or \> 450 x10 to the third/uL) iv. Abnormal white blood cell counts (\< 3.0 or \>11.0 x10 to the third/uL ) v. Abnormal eGFR (\< 90 mL/min) vi. Abnormal Factor VIII (\<50% or \>150% of normal) vii. Abnormal D-Dimer (\> 500 ng/mL of fibrinogen equivalent units (FEU)) 11. Patients planning to undergo elective procedures or surgeries at any time after signing the ICF through the follow-up visit. 12\. Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment. 13\. Recent history of bleeding or bleeding disorders or any condition whereby in the opinion of the treating investigator giving anti-coagulation during treatment would be contraindicated. 14\. History of hypersensitivity to antihistamines. 15. Body mass index \<20 or \>35 kg/M2 16. Patients with active drug or alcohol abuse within one year prior to screening or patients who test positive for required drug testing during screening (refer to §8.4). 17\. Patient is participating in a clinical trial of another investigational drug or device, including patients who have participated in another study for duration of 5 half-lives of the investigational agent. 18\. Patient is a prisoner. 19. Patients with any medical condition, including, but not limited to, cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, renal, or a psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise their ability to participate in this study.
