The trial

How ADJUST-T1D was run

The purpose of this study is to assess the use of once weekly semaglutide injection in inadequately controlled obese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using FDA-approved hybrid closed-loop therapies.

  • Semaglutide: Participants in this group will receive semaglutide once weekly injection in addition to their standard closed-loop therapy
  • Control: Participants in this group will receive placebo once weekly injection in addition to their standard closed-loop therapy
