Sanofi said its Tzield drug met the primary goal of a phase 3 clinical trial, showing potential to slow the progression of a type of diabetes in newly diagnosed children and adolescents.

The French pharmaceutical giant said Tzield demonstrated in the trial superior beta-cell preservation compared with placebo, and that this indicates its potential to slow the progression of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes in this population.

The trial studied the efficacy and safety of the drug in children and adolescents aged 8-17 years, the company said.

Results for the study's key secondary goals, which included a numerically lower mean insulin dose, weren't considered statistically significant, Sanofi said.

Sanofi added Tzield to its portfolio through the acquisition of Provention Bio, which was completed in April.
