Trial to delay type 1 diabetes: teplizumab vs. ATG
This study compares two medicines (teplizumab and anti-thymocyte globulin) to see if they can delay the onset of type 1 diabetes in people who are at high risk but don't have symptoms yet. If you have certain diabetes-related antibodies in your blood, this trial might help keep full-blown diabetes away for longer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for kidney diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 665 recruiting kidney diseases studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a kidney diseases trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a kidney diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
