About the study

If you’re 16 years or older and were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the past 12 months, you may qualify for a new clinical study at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.

Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition in which the pancreas stops producing insulin. Many people with type 1 diabetes have a problem with how certain immune cells function – and it’s believed these malfunctioning immune cells contribute to the development of type 1 diabetes.

Doctors at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston are evaluating an investigational treatment for diabetes, called AVT001. This treatment is made from a person’s own cells.

Researchers believe AVT001 may help correct the underlying immune condition in people with type 1 diabetes, thereby helping the body naturally produce insulin.

If you qualify and choose to join the study, you will receive all study-related care at no cost from a specialist at Joslin Diabetes Center.
