Incretin-based Therapy in Late Preclinical Type 1 Diabetes

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02898506
Lead Sponsor
University of Oulu
Brief Summary

The objective of the trial is to study whether daily treatment with liraglutide improves endogenous insulin secretion, postpones progression to overt Type 1 diabetes, and is tolerable and safe in subjects aged 10-30 years, who are positive for multiple islet autoantibodies and have dysglycemia.
