The purpose of this study is to measure change in glycemic control and insulin needs with Teplizumab compared with placebo. The intervention, either Teplizumab or placebo, will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, to participants recently diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to 25 years.
Teplizumab, also known as Tzield, is currently approved for use in stage 2 type 1 diabetes, to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D in adults and children eight years and older. Teplizumab is the first and only disease modifying therapy in autoimmune T1D.
