Effect of heat shock protein peptide DiaPep277 on ß‐cell function in paediatric and adult patients with recent‐onset diabetes mellitus type 1: two prospective, randomized, double‐blind phase II trials

Abstract

Administration of DiaPep277 seems safe and may have beneficial effects on C-peptide levels over time in some patients with T1D, but this finding was not accompanied by reduced HbA1c or insulin requirement. Studies with more patients and longer follow-up are needed to further study the effect of DiaPep277.
