Tzield or Teplizumab, is a CD3-directed monoclonal antibody to delay the onset of Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes in adults and pediatric patients aged 8 years and older. This is an important new treatment option because when diabetes is recognized in the early stages (Stage 2), there is an approved treatment that has been shown to delay the need for insulin by about 2-3 years. In this episode, Neha S. Patel, DO, who is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and an attending physician in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, teaches us what we need to know about Tzield and how patients can access it.
