Folate supplement for type 1 diabetes patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a folate supplement called 5-MTHF can help people with type 1 diabetes. It is for those diagnosed within the last 5 years who still produce some insulin. The goal is to see if the supplement can preserve remaining insulin-making cells.

This study tests an oral capsule called dimethyl fumarate to see if it can help preserve the body’s own insulin production in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may offer a way to slow the loss of beta cells and reduce reliance on insulin.
This study tests whether taking a specific probiotic (a beneficial bacteria) for 4 weeks can improve immune function and metabolism in people who have had type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years. Researchers believe this probiotic may help the body's remaining insulin-producing cells work better.
This early-stage study tests whether the medicines fluoxetine and/or DHEA can improve health in adults with type 1 diabetes. It’s mainly looking for people without major diabetes complications or major medical problems to safely study the effects.
This study tests a new medication, MTX228, to see if it can help people with type 1 diabetes who still make some insulin. It may slow the loss of your own insulin production and improve blood sugar control.
This study tests the drug dimethyl fumarate (an oral medication already used for other conditions) to see if it can help people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes keep making their own insulin for longer. The goal is to slow down the immune attack on the pancreas.
This trial tests whether a form of folic acid (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) can help people with fatty liver disease. It may improve liver health by supporting fat and sugar processing.
