Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Tzield itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Tzield is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Tzield is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

TZIELD is a CD3-directed antibody indicated to:

  • Delay the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) in adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with Stage 2 T1D.
  • Delay the decline in endogenous insulin production in pediatric patients aged 8 to 17 years recently diagnosed with Stage 3 T1D. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on evidence of reduced C-peptide decline. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).

Limitations of Use:

  • There is limited evidence of safety and effectiveness in patients aged 45 years and older with Stage 2 T1D.
  • TZIELD is not effective as a disease modifying therapy in non-autoimmune dysglycemic conditions.
