People who are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes have increased glucose and must either take insulin shots or wear an insulin pump to regulate their insulin levels.

However, most patients with T1D do not have a family history.
Tzield could potentially deactivate the immune cells that attack insulin-producing cells. It also would increase the proportion of cells that moderate the immune system’s response.

The agency ensured the efficacy, or effectiveness, of Tzield by evaluating the drug in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that consisted of 76 patients with stage 2 Type 1 diabetes.
The trial study also showed a time difference in the onset of diabetes. The time from randomization to stage 3 T1D for those who received Tzield was 50 months, and patients who received the placebo had an earlier onset at 25 months.
