Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Part A: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), adverse events of special interest (AESIs), and serious adverse events (SAEs)
From dose administration through Week 4
Part B: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of C-peptide after a 2 hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT)
This is a measure of endogenous insulin production and β cell function (change from baseline in C-peptide ln \[AUC+1\] at 12 months)
From dose administration up to Month 12
Secondary Outcomes (16)
Part B: Time in tight range (TITR)
At baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
Part B: Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels
At baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
Part B: Time in range (TIR)
At baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
Part B: Time above range, assessed by CGM
At baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
Part B: Time below range, assessed by CGM
At baseline, Months 3, 6, 9 and 12
- +11 more secondary outcomes

PLACEBO COMPARATORPart B: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study. Enrolment into Part B may commence once all participants in Part A have been randomised.
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participant and/or appropriate legal guardian must have given written informed consent and/or assent according to local, regional and/or country specific guidance before any study-related activities are carried out and must be able to understand the full nature and purpose of the trial, including possible risks and adverse effects.
- Males and females 15-40 years old at the time of randomisation in Part A. Males and females 5-40 years old\*, inclusive, at the time of randomisation in Part B.
- Weight ≥16.0 kg at time of randomisation.
- Participant has received a diagnosis of T1D according to American Diabetes Association criteria within 100 days of randomization. For participants who were initially misdiagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, time from misdiagnosis with Type 2 diabetes to randomization is 100 days. Note: The date of diagnosis is defined as the date of the first insulin dose or any other glucose lowering medication. An extension of no more than 14 days is permitted if a participant has planned and/or is required to receive a vaccination within 30 days prior to randomisation or is completing the 10 day CGM period.
- Participant has random C-peptide levels of ≥0.2 nmol/L, measured during Screening. One random C-peptide retest during screening period is allowed.
- Participant completed all scheduled samples for C-peptide collected during the MMTT test during Screening.
- Participant has a positive result on testing for at least one of the following T1D-related autoantibodies during screening:
- Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65)
- Islet antigen 2 (IA-2)
- Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8)
- Insulin autoantibodies (if testing within the first 14 days of insulin treatment)
- Female participants:
- a. Must be of nonchildbearing potential, i.e., pre-pubertal\*, surgically sterilised (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) at least 6 weeks before the screening, or postmenopausal (where postmenopausal is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level consistent with postmenopausal status, per local laboratory guidelines), or b. If of childbearing potential, must: i. Have a negative result on a serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-HCG\]) at screening and a negative urine β-HCG pregnancy test prior to study drug administration on Day 1 of both treatment periods.
- ii. Agree not to become pregnant or donate ova from signing the consent form until the end of study visit.
- iii. If not exclusively in a same-sex relationship or abstinent as a committed lifestyle, must agree to use adequate contraception (which is defined as use of a condom by the male partner combined with use of a highly effective method of contraception from signing the consent and for the duration of the study.
- +8 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Participant has known allergy, hypersensitivity or moderate to severe allergic reaction including anaphylaxis to natural or recombinant antibodies, biologic treatments, passive vaccines, pork, or any other component of the study drug formulation (including biologic medications).
- Participant has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the protocol-required concomitant medications.
- Participant has been an active participant in a therapeutic drug, invasive medical device, or vaccine clinical trial within 12 weeks before Screening Visit (SV)2.
- Participant has received teplizumab or any investigational immunomodulatory anti-CD3 treatment within any timeframe prior to screening.
- Participant has a significant uncontrolled renal, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurologic, haematologic, rheumatologic, oncologic, psychiatric, or immune deficiency that may interfere with the participant's safely participating in the study or with interpretation of the safety and/or efficacy profile of investigational medicinal product (IMP). For any disorders, a participant with a stable, well-controlled condition that is not felt to interfere with study participation may be enrolled.
- Participant has any autoimmune disease other than T1D (e.g., latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythaematous) that is currently managed with systemic immunotherapy, with the exception of clinically stable thyroid or celiac disease.
- Participant is prone to infections, or has chronic, recurrent or opportunistic infectious disease, including but not limited to renal, respiratory or skin infections, Pneumocystis carinii, aspergillosis, latent or active granulomatous infection, histoplasmosis, or coccidioidomycosis.
- Participant has a history of or serologic evidence at screening of current or past infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 or 2, hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies.
- Evidence of active or latent tuberculosis (TB) as documented by medical history and examination, chest X-rays (posterior anterior and lateral), and/or TB testing. Note: Blood testing (e.g., QuantiFERON® TB Gold test) is strongly preferred; if not available, any local approved TB test is allowed.
- Serious systemic viral, bacterial, or fungal infection (e.g., pneumonia, pyelonephritis), infection requiring hospitalization or IV anti-infective treatments or significant acute or chronic viral (including history of recurrent or active herpes zoster, acute or active cytomegalovirus \[CMV\], Epstein-Barr Virus \[EBV\] as determined at screening), bacterial, or fungal infection (e.g., osteomyelitis) 30 days before and during screening. Note: Participants with confirmed active EBV or CMV infection based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test can be retested; asymptomatic participants with the most recent PCR-negative test are eligible for participation. Participants with an active mild infection at Screening may be enrolled once the symptoms have resolved and all I/E are met. Participants who have an active infection and/or fever ≥38.0°C (100.4°F) within the 48 hours prior to dose administration should not be dosed.
- Participant has a diagnosis of significant liver disease or at screening ALT and/or AST \>2× or total bilirubin of \>1.5× of the age- and sex-specific upper limit of normal (ULN) according to the central laboratory and confirmed by repeated tests. Liver function tests can be repeated during screening and if normalised, participant maybe eligible for randomization. Note: Participants with Gilbert's syndrome are allowed to enrol if only total and/or indirect bilirubin are elevated above ULN while ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are within the normal laboratory ranges.
- An individual has any of the following haematologic parameters, confirmed by repeat tests, during Screening:
- Lymphocyte count: \<1000/μL
- Neutrophil count: \<1500/μL
- Platelet count: \<100 000 platelets/μL
