Breakthrough Drug Delays Onset of Type 1 Diabetes: Key Implications for Healthcare Investment in Oman
Researchers have announced the development of a new drug called Tepilizumab, which shows promising potential to delay the onset of Type 1 diabetes for several years. This advancement could revolutionize the treatment of this chronic autoimmune disease.
The drug functions by reprogramming the immune system and reducing the activity of immune cells that attack the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The first patient in the United Kingdom has begun receiving this treatment.
Clinical studies indicate that Tepilizumab can postpone the progression of the disease for a period ranging from one to three years, providing patients with extra time before requiring insulin treatment.
The drug has received regulatory approval from health authorities در ایالات متحده and is currently under review for use in other countries.
Experts emphasize that the effectiveness of Tepilizumab largely depends on its administration in the early stages of the disease, before the classic symptoms appear when blood sugar levels are still normal.
The onset of the disease can be detected early through simple blood tests that look for antibodies in the pancreas, indicating the beginning of an immune attack.
