April 26, 2023 updated by: Teresa Quattrin, State University of New York at Buffalo

"ENBREL® (Etanercept) Administration to Patients Newly Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Feasibility-Safety Study" ("Study")

The investigators hypothesized that the administration of Etanercept to children newly diagnosed with T1DM may be able to interdict the progression of T1DM. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of Etanercept administration to pediatric patients recently diagnosed with type 1 DM.
