Tolerability, Safety, and Efficacy Study of INGAP Peptide to Treat Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults

Stopped early · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

INGAP Peptide acetate is the active ingredient of INGAP Peptide Solution for Injection. It is being developed as an antidiabetic agent for the restoration of endogenous insulin secretion in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and in insulin-deficient patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This clinical study is designed to generate additional data regarding the appropriate dose and dosing regimen and to evaluate safety and efficacy in patients with T1DM.
