Efficacy Study of DiaPep277 in Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Patients - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Andromeda Biotech Ltd.
Information provided by:	Andromeda Biotech Ltd.
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00615264

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if DiaPep277 can effectively protect the internal production of insulin in patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, by stopping the immune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. DiaPep277 acts on the immune system and is expected to prevent further destruction of the beta-cells by stimulating regulatory responses, without causing immunological suppression.
