TZIELD is changing the way autoimmune type 1 diabetes is treated

TZIELD is used to delay the onset of insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes and can give you more time to prepare for the future:

  • More time to adapt to the lifestyle changes that come with daily diabetes management
  • More time to learn about potential complications and what to look out for
  • More time to ensure you have the right care team by your side

Keep in mind:

TZIELD may cause side effects, including serious ones. When studied, the most common side effects for people 8 years and older with Stage 2 autoimmune type 1 diabetes who were given TZIELD included rash, decrease in white blood cell counts (leukopenia), and headache. TZIELD may cause serious side effects, including cytokine release syndrome and a decrease in white blood cells (lymphopenia). See Important Safety Information below and talk to your doctor and wider healthcare team for more information or medical advice about side effects.

“I learned about TZIELD through education at work. I liked that there was a chance that we could potentially delay Stage 3 type 1 diabetes, where Aubri would need insulin.”

“Thankfully for her, since her infusion, her blood sugars have remained under control. She's still not insulin dependent, and she gets to live like a normal 13-year-old for a little while longer. And not have to deal with the day in and day out struggles of stage 3 type 1 diabetes and being fully insulin dependent. But today, we are both very grateful that she was one of the first to infuse with TZIELD.”

What is TZIELD?
TZIELD is a prescription medicine used to delay the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes, which is when your body can’t make enough insulin on its own and may require insulin injections. TZIELD is for adults and children 8 years of age and older who have Stage 2 type 1 diabetes. This means that they have tested positive for 2 or more type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies, have abnormal blood sugar levels, and do not have type 2 diabetes.

It is not known if TZIELD is safe and effective in children under 8 years of age.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is the most important information I should know about TZIELD?

TZIELD may cause serious side effects. These include:

  • Cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Signs and symptoms may start during the first 5 days of TZIELD treatment and could include fever, nausea, feeling tired (fatigue), headache, muscle and joint pain, or increased liver enzymes in your blood. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs and symptoms of CRS during treatment with TZIELD
  • Decrease in white blood cells. TZIELD may cause a decrease in a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. A decrease in white blood cells is a serious, but common side effect that can affect your body’s ability to fight infections. A decrease in white blood cell counts can happen after your first dose. Your white blood cell counts will start to go back to normal after your fifth dose of TZIELD. Some people may develop longer and more severe decreases in lymphocytes

Your healthcare provider will do blood tests to check your liver and your complete blood counts before you start treatment and during treatment with TZIELD. During and after your treatment with TZIELD, your healthcare provider will check for serious side effects, as well as other side effects, and treat you as needed. Your healthcare provider may temporarily or completely stop your treatment with TZIELD, if you develop liver problems, have a serious infection, or if your blood counts stay too low.

What should I tell my healthcare provider before receiving TZIELD?

Before or after receiving TZIELD, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have a serious infection or an infection that does not go away or keeps coming back
  • have recently received or are scheduled to receive an immunization (vaccine). TZIELD may affect how well a vaccine works. Tell your doctor that you are receiving TZIELD before receiving a vaccine
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. TZIELD may harm your unborn baby. Do not receive TZIELD during pregnancy and at least 30 days before a planned pregnancy
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if TZIELD passes into your breast milk and if it can harm your baby. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you receive TZIELD

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

What are the possible side effects of TZIELD?

The most common side effects of TZIELD include:

  • rash
  • leukopenia (decrease in white blood cell counts)
  • headache

These are not all of the possible side effects of TZIELD. Talk to your healthcare provider for more information, and tell them about any side effects you notice. You may report side effects to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

Molly: type 1 diabetes education

Molly was upset to learn her daughter Aubri had type 1 diabetes. But because she worked at a Diabetes Care Center, Molly already knew about TZIELD and was able to delay the onset of insulin-dependence for her daughter.

There are currently no studies showing the effect TZIELD has on burden of disease.

Screening is the first step

Autoantibody (AAb) screening for type 1 diabetes is the first step you or your loved one can take to catch T1D at the right time and to potentially reduce the risk of sudden complications associated with the disease, including an emergency hospitalization event. It's also the first step you can take with your doctor to determine if TZIELD may be right for you or your loved one.

If you or a loved one hasn’t been screened for autoimmune type 1 diabetes—now is the time. Talk to a doctor today.

Why and How To Screen

TZIELD can give you or your loved one the ability to slow down the onset of insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes.*†

A person with autoimmune type 1 diabetes who requires daily insulin may experience as many as 1,860+ finger sticks and 1,460+ insulin needle injections§ each and every year.
