Clinical trials are the only way to generate the evidence needed to bring new immunotherapy treatments into the care of people living with type 1 diabetes.
Participation in a clinical trial provides the opportunity to access promising new treatments and to be cared for by a highly motivated team of specialists. Connection with the clinical trial community also enables you to receive early notice of new therapeutic developments and new clinical trials.
You can also benefit from the knowledge that your effort in participating in a clinical trial will help others affected by type 1 diabetes, both now and into the future.
