The RETAIN Study is a clinical research study evaluating a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients.
AAT is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory protein that affects immune cells that are thought to be involved in the development of type 1 diabetes. In mice, an injection of AAT can halt the destruction of beta cells, so doctors want to know if it will do the same in people, in a safe manner.

T1DAL (A Research Trial of Inducing Remission in New-onset Type 1 Diabetes with Alefacept)
This trial is testing whether repeated injections of an investigational study drug called alefacept (also called Amevive ®) will help people with newly-diagnosed type 1 diabetes continue to make some of their own insulin.
T1DAL (A Research Trial of Inducing Remission in New-onset Type 1 Diabetes with Alefacept) is a phase II clinical research trial in which the investigational study drug (alefacept) is tested for safety and whether it is effective in slowing or halting the progression of type 1 diabetes.
This trial plans to enroll 66 participants at fifteen clinical research centers across the U.S.

Driving Safely With Type 1 Diabetes
Research has shown that a few people with Type 1 diabetes are at an increased risk for having traffic accidents due to low blood sugars.
Researchers at the University of Virginia are conducting a study evaluating internet tools designed to:
Anonymously assess risk for all drivers with Type 1 diabetes of being in an accident and
Help reduce the chance of high-risk drivers being in a future collision.
The study is strictly confidential and the data collected will not be shared with any other person or agency. Participants may earn up to $270 in Internet gift cards.

Monitoring Autoimmunity in Diabetes
Description: The purpose of the "Monitoring Autoimmunity in Diabetes" study is to look at changes in the body that may occur with the development of type 1 diabetes. The samples taken as part of this study will be used to look at various genes, cells, and factors, which may be associated with type 1 diabetes and the immune system. These will be used to study why some people are at higher risk for developing diabetes and what happens to the immune system with the development of the disease. Participants may also qualify and be asked to participate in a separate clinical study that uses a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to noninvasively image insulitis (the destructive process in the pancreas that leads to loss of insulin production).
Recruiting: Seeking controls (no history of type 1 diabetes) and persons recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (within last 6 months). Must be 18 years or older.

The HARMONY Study
When your type 2 diabetes is out of control, finding Harmony is essential.
If you’re having trouble controlling your diabetes, consider participating in HARMONY, a research study evaluating an investigational diabetes medication that’s taken only once a week.
Even when you eat healthy, exercise, and take your prescribed medications, managing your blood sugar can still be a challenge. You’re not alone. Many people living with type 2 have difficulty controlling their disease, even when they follow their current treatment plans.
Now, the HARMONY program is evaluating a new, investigational diabetes medication for its ability to better control Type 2 Diabetes. This investigational medication may not need to be taken as frequently as many current diabetes drugs, potentially making treatment more convenient for diabetes patients.
If you're having difficulty controlling your diabetes even with your current efforts, consider the HARMONY program.
