Teplizumab: A Disease-Modifying Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes That Preserves β-Cell Function

These data confirm consistency in the preservation of β-cell function, as measured by C-peptide, across multiple clinical trials. This analysis showed that the most common adverse events included lymphopenia, rash, and headache, a majority of which occurred during and after the first few weeks of teplizumab administration and generally resolved without intervention, consistent with a safety profile characterized by self-limited adverse events after one or two courses of teplizumab treatment.
