METabolic MODulation to Enhance Insulin Sensitivity and Mitochondrial Function in Type 1 Diabetes (MetMod-T1D)

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial to evaluate the effects of 24 weeks of oral AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate + taurursodiol) versus placebo in 60 adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (n=30 per arm). Following screening and baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either AMX0035 or placebo, with stratification by sex and body mass index (≥30 vs. \<30 kg/m2). Participants will undergo comprehensive metabolic phenotyping at baseline and 24 weeks, including hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, body composition imaging, continuous glucose monitoring, and tissue biopsies (skeletal muscle and adipose) for assessment of mitochondrial function and biological markers. Participants, clinicians administering the intervention, and laboratory personnel analyzing the samples will remain blinded to treatment assignments throughout the study.
