Recruiting PHASE1 Type 1 Diabetes

New treatment option for Type 1 Diabetes

Official title MANATEE-T1D: Metformin ANd AutomaTEd Insulin Delivery System Effects on Renal Vascular Resistance, Insulin Sensitivity, and Cardiometabolic Function in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05065372

What this study is testing

What is Metformin Hcl 1000Mg Tab?

Metformin Hcl 1000Mg Tab is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes.

Also referred to as Fortamet, Glucophage.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Diabetic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes and are exacerbated with longer duration of diabetes and time outside goal glycemic range. Yet, type 1 diabetes is a complex disease with pathophysiology that extends beyond beta-cell injury and insulin deficiency to include insulin resistance and renal vascular resistance, factors that accelerate cardiovascular disease risk.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
