Gut bacteria treatment for children with new type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special treatment aimed at gut bacteria can help children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It is for kids ages 6 to 12 who were diagnosed in the last 6 months and do not have other serious health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the last 6 months (and have certain antibodies).
- You are between 6 and 12 years old.
- You use less than 0.5 units of insulin per kilogram of body weight each day (about 0.5 units/lb/day for a 50-pound child would be 25 units total daily).
- You have not taken antibiotics for 3 or more days in the past month.
- You have no serious long-term health problems (like certain cancers, heart, liver, or kidney disease) or active infections.
- You have not taken probiotics for more than 3 days in the past month.

This study looks at children who have just started insulin for new-onset type 1 diabetes. It aims to test an intervention early in the course of the disease, which may help change how the immune system and diabetes progress.
This study tests a low dose of a drug that calms the immune system, followed by either another immune drug or a blood pressure medicine, to see if they can help preserve the body's ability to make insulin in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It may help keep your own insulin production going longer.
This study looks at immune cells in children who were recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It involves one extra blood draw to better understand how the immune system attacks the pancreas. If you join, no new treatments are given—just observation and analysis of your child's immune cells.
This trial studies whether taking prebiotics can change gut bacteria (gut microbiome) in people with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see if these gut changes are linked to better health or diabetes-related outcomes.
This trial is looking for children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes to study how to detect the condition earlier. It focuses on kids who have already reached the stage where symptoms appear, to improve understanding of the disease.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) to see if people with type 1 diabetes who have complications have different bacteria than those without complications. You'll be asked to give stool and urine samples
