Recruiting studies
- NCT07149142Recruiting

Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–50 - NCT06688331RecruitingPhase 2
Treating early stage 1 type 1 diabetes in children with cell therapy and antibody
This trial tests a new combination treatment for children who have been diagnosed with stage 1 type 1 diabetes, meaning they have some markers but do not yet need insulin. The treatment uses special immune cells (Treg cells) and an antibody (anti-CD20) to try to preserve the body's ability to make insulin.
BialystokAges 3–18 - NCT07617519Recruiting
Remote monitoring for diabetes care at Steno Center
This study looks at how remote patient monitoring—tracking your diabetes from home using technology—changes the care you receive at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. Researchers will compare your care before and after the monitoring system is introduced to see if it helps improve outcomes.

Dietary approaches for weight management in type 1 diabetes
This study tests two different diet approaches to help people with type 1 diabetes who are overweight or obese manage their weight. It aims to find out which eating plan works better for blood sugar control and weight loss.
Málaga, MálagaAges 18–65 - NCT02973412Recruiting
How sleep timing affects blood sugar in diabetes
This study looks at your daily sleep–wake timing (“chronotype”) and how it may affect blood sugar control in people with diabetes. It may help researchers learn whether sleep patterns could improve glucose levels.
LeicesterAges 18–75 - NCT03132129Recruiting
Heart imaging study in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study looks for early, “silent” changes in heart function in adults with type 2 diabetes, even if you feel okay. It uses heart scans and looks for factors that may help explain why these changes happen.
LeicesterAges 50–75 - NCT03316261Recruiting
Testing newborns for type 1 diabetes risk
This study looks at infants to find how likely they are to develop type 1 diabetes later in life. If you have a newborn who is very young, you may be able to take part by allowing the study team to test them as part of early risk screening.
MunichAges 1 day–1 month - NCT03463564RecruitingPhase 4
Insulin pump versus insulin shots for type 1 diabetes control
This study compares an insulin pump to insulin shots to see which better improves blood sugar control and reduces swings in people with type 1 diabetes. You may be included if your diabetes is not well controlled despite education and you’ve had low blood sugar episodes.
NaplesAges 18–30 - NCT03512132Recruiting
Test HDL function in type 1 diabetes with kidney changes
This study looks at how well “good cholesterol” (HDL) works in people with type 1 diabetes, especially when kidney tests show early or more advanced damage. Researchers will compare different groups (normal, micro-, and macro-albumin in urine) to better understand HDL’s role and how it may relate to kidney health.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT03648918Recruiting
Study family genetics in type 1 diabetes
This study looks at genetic patterns in families where someone has type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition). It may help researchers understand why type 1 diabetes happens and who is at risk.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT03720197Recruiting
Registry for people living with type 1 diabetes
This is a registry that collects information from people living with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future care.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT03746769RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing gastrin to improve results of islet cell transplant
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–68 - NCT03988764Recruiting
Checking monogenic diabetes wrongly labeled as type 1
This trial looks at people who were diagnosed with diabetes before age 25 as either type 1 or “not sure which type.” It may help confirm whether the cause is genetic (monogenic) rather than type 1, which can change treatment choices.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 day–25 years - NCT07662213RecruitingPhase 3
Elecoglipron vs semaglutide for type 2 diabetes
This study tests an experimental diabetes pill (elecoglipron) to see if it works as well as a current medicine, semaglutide, for people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart risk factors. It aims to help better control blood sugar and weight.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT04039945Recruiting
Early checkup and care program for type 1 diabetes
This study looks at early diagnosis and support for people with type 1 diabetes. You may be invited to participate if a parent or guardian agrees to enroll your child.
MunichAges 2–10 - NCT04096794Recruiting
Smartphone-based research study for people with type 1 diabetes
This study is a multi-site project designed for people who have type 1 diabetes and can use a smartphone app (WeChat or a similar app). It aims to collect research information in a way that’s easier to follow day to day, which may help improve future care for type 1 diabetes.

Drug MS-553 for diabetic eye swelling with reduced vision
This Phase 1 trial tests MS-553 to see how it works and how safely it can be given to people with diabetic retinopathy causing central macular swelling (macular edema). You may be considered if your vision and eye scan results match, and if you can follow frequent study visits.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT04257877Recruiting
Studying blood proteins in children with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at blood protein patterns in children with type 1 diabetes to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find markers linked to how diabetes is doing, especially in young, early-stage children.
ThessalonikiAges 5–10 - NCT04428658Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for kids to improve blood sugar control
This trial tests whether extra diabetes coaching delivered through online video and online messages can lower blood sugar levels in children with type 1 diabetes. It may help your child improve diabetes control by combining real-time and non-real-time support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for type 1 diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 875 recruiting type 1 diabetes 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 type 1 diabetes 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 type 1 diabetes 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.
