A new triple combo therapy could restore insulin production in people with type 1 using existing medications. Levicure’s triple-combo oral therapy is already considered very safe, because it involves two drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a well-known supplement.

The therapy is a combination of:

DPP4-inhibitors, a common type 2 diabetes medication

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a drug for severe acid reflux

A proprietary version of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a supplement often used to treat anxiety
