Local clinical trials are evaluating new treatments for people with type 1 diabetes. Take the two-minute screening survey today.
About Clinical Trials
Before emerging therapies can be approved for widespread public use, they must first be tested in controlled clinical trial settings to ensure that new medical treatments are safe and effective.
By joining a trial (also referred to as a clinical study or clinical research), participants are playing a vital role in helping doctors and scientists make meaningful progress in type 1 diabetes research and work towards a more hopeful future for fellow patients.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Participants in type 1 diabetes clinical trials will have access to specialists who understand their unique situation and can help answer questions and address concerns from participants or their loved ones. Throughout the duration of a trial, participants should expect to be monitored in a safe, professional clinical environment and have the opportunity to contribute to scientific innovation. Participation is voluntary.
WHAT IS BEING TESTED?
Researchers are evaluating an investigational study drug to see if it can help adults who have lived with type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years and struggle with dropping low at night.
What Can I Expect?
The Process: Research studies usually start with a screening period to make sure the trial is a safe match for you. In T1D studies focusing on nighttime lows, the local clinic may provide you with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to wear so doctors can track your blood sugar levels.
The Commitment: You may be asked to attend scheduled appointments at a local clinic. You would not have to change your normal insulin routine; you would simply continue your daily injections or pump therapy as usual while taking part in the study.
Safety First: Safety is always the top priority. Participation is entirely voluntary, and patient safety and rights are protected by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Clinical Trials Make a Difference
Participation in a clinical study provides valuable information to researchers that could eventually lead to additional treatments and to potential advancements in care options. Take our short survey to see if you or a loved one may be a good fit. There is no obligation to participate.
