- Still producing some insulin naturally, shown by a C-peptide blood test and a mixed meal tolerance test during screening
- A positive blood test for at least one antibody linked to type 1 diabetes
- Willing and able to give consent, attend all study visits, and have blood samples taken

What taking part involves
- • Receiving the study drug SAB-142 (whether it is given as an injection or infusion is not stated — ask the trial team)
- • Wearing a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks blood sugar) for a 10-day period
- • Having blood tests, including a mixed meal tolerance test where you drink a special drink and give blood samples over time
- • Agreeing not to take other experimental treatments during the study
- • Some vaccines being restricted around the time you receive the study drug
Time commitment: Not fully stated — taking part involves screening visits, blood tests, a 10-day glucose monitor period, and study visits up to at least 12 months (Parts A and B, with an optional Part C afterwards); the exact number of visits and total study length is not stated — ask the trial team.
