Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Trial Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Teplizumab (PROTECT)

4. Has a peak stimulated C-peptide of ≥0.2 pmol/mL from a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) at screening.
5. Has a positive result on testing for T1D-related autoantibodies.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has any autoimmune disease other than T1D with the exception of stable thyroid or celiac disease.
