et al. extend the follow-up analysis of this trial by 12 months, finding that efficacy of the initial 2-week treatment course persisted, with an extended time to T1D diagnosis in the teplizumab-treated group. Clinical benefits associated with reversed C-peptide decline improved beta cell function and partial exhaustion in CD8
+ T cells in the treated patients. HbA1c did not differ between placebo and treatment groups. This follow-up study further supports the use of anti-CD3 treatment for the prevention of T1D. ....
