Summary

This trial will test how a new drug called volagidemab affects glucose recovery from low blood sugar in adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants will receive the drug once a week for 6

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Type 1 Diabetes who are on stable insulin doses. They must be able to give informed consent and go through a screening process within 28 days before starting the trial. People with other health conditions that could interfere with the study or those unable to follow its procedures may not qualify.
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well volagidemab, given once weekly by injection, helps recover from low blood sugar when treated with glucagon in people with Type 1 Diabetes. It involves initial and final hypoglycemia recovery procedures over a span of 12 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of volagidemab are not specified here but generally can include reactions at the injection site, possible changes in blood sugar levels, and any individual sensitivities to the medication.
