Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant and/or appropriate legal guardian must have given written informedconsent and/or assent according to local, regional and/or country specific guidancebefore any study-related activities are carried out and must be able to understandthe full nature and purpose of the trial, including possible risks and adverseeffects.

  4. Participant has received a diagnosis of T1D according to American DiabetesAssociation criteria within 100 days of randomization. For participants who wereinitially misdiagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, time from misdiagnosis with Type 2diabetes to randomization is 100 days. Note: The date of diagnosis is defined as thedate of the first insulin dose or any other glucose lowering medication. Anextension of no more than 14 days is permitted if a participant has planned and/oris required to receive a vaccination within 30 days prior to randomisation or iscompleting the 10 day CGM period.

  5. Participant has random C-peptide levels of ≥0.2 nmol/L, measured during Screening.One random C-peptide retest during screening period is allowed.

  6. Participant completed all scheduled samples for C-peptide collected during the MMTTtest during Screening.

  7. Participant has a positive result on testing for at least one of the followingT1D-related autoantibodies during screening:

  • Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65)

  • Islet antigen 2 (IA-2)

  1. Female participants: a. Must be of nonchildbearing potential, i.e., pre-pubertal*, surgically sterilised (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) at least 6 weeksbefore the screening, or postmenopausal (where postmenopausal is defined as nomenses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a follicle stimulatinghormone (FSH) level consistent with postmenopausal status, per local laboratoryguidelines), or b. If of childbearing potential, must: i. Have a negative result ona serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin [β-HCG]) at screening and a negativeurine β-HCG pregnancy test prior to study drug administration on Day 1 of bothtreatment periods. ii. Agree not to become pregnant or donate ova from signing the consent form untilthe end of study visit. iii. If not exclusively in a same-sex relationship or abstinent as a committedlifestyle, must agree to use adequate contraception (which is defined as use of acondom by the male partner combined with use of a highly effective method ofcontraception from signing the consent and for the duration of the study.
  • Note: Female participants will be considered to be pre-pubertal (and ofnonchildbearing potential) if they have not yet started menstruation. This shouldalso be verified by the parent(s)/guardian(s). If a female participant reachesmenarche during the study, then she is to be considered as a woman of childbearingpotential from that time forwards, and contraceptive requirements will apply.
  1. Male participants, if not biologically or surgically sterilised, must:

  2. Agree not to donate sperm from signing the consent form until EOS.

  3. If engaging in sexual intercourse with a female partner who could becomepregnant, agree to use adequate contraception (defined as use of a condomcombined with use of a highly effective method of contraception from signingthe consent form until EOS.

  4. If engaging in sexual intercourse with a female partner who is not ofchildbearing potential or a same-sex partner, agree to use a condom fromsigning the consent form until EOS.

  5. Prior to receiving study drug, participant must agree to receive locally, regionallyand/or country-specific required age-appropriate immunisations. Participants areadvised but not required to comply with the guidelines for immunosuppressedindividuals and those with chronic disease (diabetes mellitus) according to currentlocal, regional and/or country- specific guidelines. Note: Vaccines are permittedwithin the timeframes specified in exclusion criterion #17.

  6. Participant agrees not to receive other forms of experimental treatment from thetime of signing informed consent and for the duration of the study, particularlyagents that may be immune modulatory in nature and/or stimulate pancreatic β cellregeneration or insulin secretion.

  7. Participant has suitable venous access for blood sampling.

  8. Participant is willing and able to comply with all study assessments and adhere tothe protocol schedule and restrictions.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participant has known allergy, hypersensitivity or moderate to severe allergicreaction including anaphylaxis to natural or recombinant antibodies, biologictreatments, passive vaccines, pork, or any other component of the study drugformulation (including biologic medications).

  2. Participant has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the protocol-requiredconcomitant medications.

  3. Participant has been an active participant in a therapeutic drug, invasive medicaldevice, or vaccine clinical trial within 12 weeks before Screening Visit (SV)2.

  5. Participant has a significant uncontrolled renal, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary,gastrointestinal, neurologic, haematologic, rheumatologic, oncologic, psychiatric,or immune deficiency that may interfere with the participant's safely participatingin the study or with interpretation of the safety and/or efficacy profile ofinvestigational medicinal product (IMP). For any disorders, a participant with astable, well-controlled condition that is not felt to interfere with studyparticipation may be enrolled.

  6. Participant has any autoimmune disease other than T1D (e.g., latent autoimmunediabetes in adults, rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathicarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, systemiclupus erythaematous) that is currently managed with systemic immunotherapy, with theexception of clinically stable thyroid or celiac disease.
