IN PATIENTS AGED 8 AND OLDER WITH STAGE 2 TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D)

You can’t control if, but you can impact

WHEN

Choose to modify T1D with TZIELD and help delay WHEN your patients progress to Stage 3 T1D.1

TZIELD is the first innovative biologic therapy in T1D since the discovery of insulin 100 years ago.1-6

Islet autoantibody (AAb)
screening can help identify T1D patients8-13

Consensus guidance recommends identifying patients at risk for autoimmune T1D with islet AAb screening. Proactive screening can help identify patients at risk, including:

  • Those with select autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's disease, Graves' disease, Celiac Disease)
  • Those with a relative who has T1D (adults and children)
  • Those with abnormal glucose levels

Incidence of clinical T1D differs for patients, highlighting the need for early detection of individuals at risk.

Screening along with staging and monitoring, can help you determine when you can intervene with TZIELD.

INDICATION

TZIELD is a CD3-directed monoclonal antibody indicated to delay the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) in adults and pediatric patients aged 8 years and older with Stage 2 T1D.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS): CRS occurred in TZIELD-treated patients during the treatment period and through 28 days after the last drug administration. Prior to TZIELD treatment, premedicate with antipyretics, antihistamines and/or antiemetics, and treat similarly if symptoms occur during treatment. If severe CRS develops, consider pausing dosing for 1 day to 2 days and administering the remaining doses to complete the full 14-day course on consecutive days; or discontinue treatment. Monitor liver enzymes during treatment. Discontinue TZIELD treatment in patients who develop elevated alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase more than 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin more than 3 times ULN.
  • Serious Infections: Use of TZIELD is not recommended in patients with active serious infection or chronic infection other than localized skin infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection during and after TZIELD administration. If serious infection develops, treat appropriately, and discontinue TZIELD.
  • Lymphopenia: Lymphopenia occurred in most TZIELD-treated patients. For most patients, lymphocyte levels began to recover after the fifth day of treatment and returned to pretreatment values within two weeks after treatment completion and without dose interruption. Monitor white blood cell counts during the treatment period. If prolonged severe lymphopenia develops (<500 cells per mcL lasting 1 week or longer), discontinue TZIELD.
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Acute hypersensitivity reactions including serum sickness, angioedema, urticaria, rash, vomiting and bronchospasm occurred in TZIELD-treated patients. If severe hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue TZIELD and treat promptly.
  • Vaccinations: The safety of immunization with live-attenuated (live) vaccines with TZIELD-treated patients has not been studied. TZIELD may interfere with immune response to vaccination and decrease vaccine efficacy. Administer all age-appropriate vaccinations prior to starting TZIELD.
    • Administer live vaccines at least 8 weeks prior to treatment. Live vaccines are not recommended during treatment, or up to 52 weeks after treatment.
    • Administer inactivated (killed) vaccines or mRNA vaccines at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. Inactivated vaccines are not recommended during treatment or 6 weeks after completion of treatment.

Most common adverse reactions (>10%) were lymphopenia, rash, leukopenia, and headache.

  • Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm.
  • Lactation: A lactating woman may consider pumping and discarding breast milk during and for 20 days after TZIELD administration.
