About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether SAB-142 can slow the progress of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and how safe it is. It compares SAB-142 with a placebo, a treatment with no active study drug. It is for people ages 15–40 in Part A and ages 5–40 in Part B.
This is a Phase 2b, investigator- and participant-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SAB 142 in patients with Stage 3 New Onset of Type 1 Diabetes (NOT1D).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

- Your veins must be suitable for blood tests.
- For Part C, you must have finished the required Month 12 tests from the earlier study parts and meet the other rules.
Who can't join
- You have certain allergies to antibody treatments, biologic medicines, pork, study drug ingredients, or required medicines. An inherited condition called hereditary fructose intolerance also rules you out.
- You recently took part in another treatment, medical device, or vaccine trial: within 12 weeks before the second screening visit for Parts A/B, or within 28 days before Part C treatment.
- You have ever received teplizumab or an experimental anti-CD3 treatment, which changes how the immune system works.
- You have a serious, uncontrolled health condition that could make the study unsafe or affect its results. Stable, well-controlled conditions may be allowed.

This should also be verified by the parent(s)/guardian(s). If a female participant reaches menarche during the study, then she is to be considered as a woman of childbearing potential from that time forwards, and contraceptive requirements will apply. 9.
