Dear TrialNet Family,

Landmark findings from TrialNet research were instrumental in the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) November 17, 2022 approval of the first drug to delay type 1 diabetes (T1D) in people at risk.

TrialNet conducted the clinical study that discovered the immunotherapy drug teplizumab could delay T1D for 2+ years.

TrialNet is celebrating 20 years!
