RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

Pharmacokinetic and Early Efficacy of OPT101 in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

A 48-week Phase 2 Multicenter Controlled Pharmacokinetic and Pilot Efficacy Trial of Subcutaneous OPT101 in Patients With Recent Onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Pharmacokinetic and Early Efficacy of OPT101 in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (NCT06964087) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Type I Diabetes, sponsored by Op-T LLC. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study will examine the safety of three times weekly SC injections of OPT101 at each of three dose levels over two weeks as well as one year of treatment with SC OPT101 or placebo to match at a single dose level.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Type I Diabetes and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 72 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Type I Diabetes subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
