4/20/19 IMMUNOTHERAPY T1D is one of the only major autoimmune diseases that still does not have a drug therapy to stave off, slow or cure the illness. But we are getting close. We have found, created and are testing drugs that are showing – in early clinical trials -- that they can and are able to: • Trick the body into protecting instead of attacking beta cells • Slow the progression of T1D • Help the body create its own insulin A break in any of these products would be life changing for millions. And could serve as a working cure for T1D. 22 Prevention Prevent or delay insulin dependence 23 BETA CELLS Today, we are working – racing – with teams of experts around the world, to: Regenerate Beta Cells Replace Beta Cells Keep them healthy, improve Make beta cells, ensure the their function, and help them body does not reject them, and reproduce. shield them from attack. This research is accelerating, with new discoveries daily. We need to do more. With healthy beta cells, a person’s body would once again normalize its blood glucose levels – on its own. If we can save Beta Cells, we can cure T1D. 24 3
