Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 to under 70 with established Type 1 Diabetes on insulin therapy, HbA1c below 9.5% and BMI 18.5–40 kg/m2, stable medications, and willingness to comply with procedures.

Probably not a fit

Individuals not showing a response or with contraindications as defined by exclusion criteria may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group Phase 2 trial enrolling 60 adults with Type 1 Diabetes. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive AMX0035 or placebo for 24 weeks, with stratification by sex and BMI. Comprehensive metabolic phenotyping will include hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, body composition imaging, continuous glucose monitoring, and tissue biopsies to assess mitochondrial function and biological markers. Investigators and participants are blinded to treatment assignments, and the study is conducted at sites in Seattle and Amsterdam with equal enrollment from each site. The trial aims to determine whether AMX0035 can modulate metabolic pathways relevant to insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function in T1D.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic function related to mitochondrial activity.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research in related metabolic interventions supports the feasibility of this approach, but this exact combination and population are relatively novel.
