Lactobacillus Johnsonii in Children and Adolescents With T1D
Evaluation of the Safety, Tolerability and Immunological Response to Lactobacillus Johnsonii N6.2 in Children and Adolescents With T1D
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
While genetics demonstrated a major risk factor for the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D), microbiota dysbiosis has been suggested as an elicitor in immunological tolerance and of beta cell autoimmunity. The probiotic Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 may prevent or restore the gut flora and show systemic impacts and adaptive immunity in the T1D population thereby preserving beta cell function.
