Baricitinib Oral Treatment to Preserve Beta Cell Function in Children and Adults Newly Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying baricitinib to see if it can help preserve beta-cell function in children and adults aged 1 to 35 years who have been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This Phase 3 study aims to evaluate the treatments impact on preserving insulin production shortly after diagnosis. Participants will be followed for about 60 weeks to assess changes in key diabetes-related measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baricitinib or a placebo, both taken orally. The study compares these two groups to evaluate the effects of baricitinib on beta-cell function. The main measurement is the change in C-peptide area under the curve over 52 weeks, which indicates insulin production. Additional outcomes include changes in blood sugar control, insulin use, hypoglycemia events, and other health indicators. During the study, participants will attend visits for assessments and monitoring over approximately 60 weeks. Tests will include blood measurements like C-peptide and hemoglobin A1c, insulin dose tracking, and health surveys. Safety and drug levels will be monitored. Researchers will use these data to understand if baricitinib can help maintain beta-cell function in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
