What this study is testing

What is Dimethyl Fumarate Enteric-coated Capsules?

Dimethyl Fumarate Enteric-coated Capsules is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Also referred to as DMF.

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
This is a non-randomized, parallel-controlled, single-center, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of dimethyl fumarate in preserving pancreatic beta-cell function in adults with type 1 diabetes, as well as its safety and tolerability in this population. Eligible participants are adults aged 18 to 65 years who meet the ADA 2024 diagnostic criteria for type 1 diabetes, have at least 2 positive islet autoantibodies, and have residual beta-cell function as evidenced by a random C-peptide level of at least 200 pmol/L.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
