Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of REMD-477 in subjects who have Type 1 diabetes and are currently receiving insulin treatment. This study will determine whether REMD-477 can decrease daily insulin requirements and improve glycemic control after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes with fasting C-peptide < 0.7 ng/mL at Screening.
The study will be conducted at multiple sites in the United States. Approximately 150 subjects with type 1 diabetes on stable doses of insulin will be randomized in a 1:1:1 fashion into one of three treatment groups.

- •History of New York Heart Association Functional Classification III-IV cardiac disease;
- •Current or recent (within 1 month of screening) use of diabetes medications other than insulin - subjects on an SGLT2 inhibitor should be discontinue the SGLT2 inhibitor during the Screening Period, at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the Lead-in Period;
- •Use of steroids and/or other prescribed or over-the-counter medications that are known to affect the outcome measures in this study or known to influence glucose metabolism;
- •Smokes > 10 cigarettes/day, and/or is unwilling to abstain from smoking during admission periods;
- •Known sensitivity to mammalian-derived drug preparations, recombinant protein-based drugs or to humanized or human antibodies;

- •Participation in an investigational drug or device trial within 30 days of screening or within 5 times the half-life of the investigational agent in the other clinical study, if known, whichever period is longer;
- •Blood donor or blood loss > 500 mL within 30 days of Day 1;
- •Women who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding;
- •Unable or unwilling to follow the study protocol or who are non-compliant with screening appointments or study visits;
- •Any other condition(s) that might reduce the chance of obtaining study data, or that might cause safety concerns, or that might compromise the ability to give truly informed consent
- •Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
