This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SAB-142, a fully human anti-thymocyte globulin (h-ATG), in participants aged 5 to 40 years with Stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D). The study will enroll participants with recent-onset T1D (>100 days to <1 year from diagnosis) and established-onset T1D (≥1 year to ≤2 years from diagnosis) who retain residual beta-cell function as demonstrated by stimulated C-peptide levels >0.2 nmol/L. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive SAB-142 or placebo in addition to standard diabetes care. The primary objective is to determine whether SAB-142 preserves beta-cell function over 12 months as measured by stimulated C-peptide response during a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT). External data from the SAB-142-201 SAFEGUARD study will be incorporated to include participants with new-onset T1D (<100 days from diagnosis) in the primary efficacy analysis.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by progressive destruction of pancreatic beta cells. SAB-142 is a purified fully human multi-specific anti-thymocyte globulin designed to modulate autoimmune responses while potentially avoiding some of the immunogenicity and adverse effects associated with rabbit-derived anti-thymocyte globulin preparations. This study will evaluate whether SAB-142 preserves endogenous insulin production and improves clinical outcomes in participants with Stage 3 T1D who have residual beta-cell function.
The study consists of three disease-duration cohorts:
Cohort 1: New-onset T1D (<100 days from diagnosis; external data from SAB-142-201 SAFEGUARD) Cohort 2: Recent-onset T1D (>100 days to <365 days from diagnosis) Cohort 3: Established-onset T1D (365 to 730 days from diagnosis)
Approximately 72 participants will be enrolled into Cohorts 2 and 3 and randomized 2:1 to SAB-142 or placebo. An additional 36 age-matched participants from SAB-142-201 SAFEGUARD will comprise Cohort 1, resulting in a combined efficacy dataset of approximately 108 participants. Participants will receive an induction treatment period at baseline and a maintenance treatment period at Month 6. Follow-up continues through Month 12.
