Pediatric Endocrine Society Statement on Considerations for Use of Teplizumab (Tzield™) in Clinical Practice.
Hormone Research in Pædiatrics 2024 April 25
Teplizumab (TzieldTM, Provention Bio), a monoclonal antibody directed at t-cell marker CD3, is the first medication approved by the FDA to delay progression from Stage 2 to Stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D). To date, the overwhelming majority of pediatric endocrinologists do not have experience using immunotherapeutics and seek guidance the use of teplizumab in clinical practice. To address this need, the Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES) Diabetes Special Interest Group (Diabetes SIG) and Drug and Therapeutics Committee assembled a task force to review clinical trial data and solicit expert recommendations on the approach to teplizumab infusions. We present considerations on all aspects of teplizumab administration, utilizing evidence where possible and providing a spectrum of expert opinions on unknown aspects. We discuss patient selection and prescreening, highlighting the safety and considerations for monitoring and treatment of side effects. We propose a schedule of events, a protocol for administration and discuss practice management aspects. We advocate for the need for further long-term systematic surveillance studies to continue evaluating the efficacy and safety of teplizumab.
