## What is the Tepli-QUEST Study

The Tepli-QUEST Study is a real-world observational study in the United States. It follows people with Stage 2 T1D over time to better understand their experiences. Some participants have received an infusion of teplizumab and others have not, allowing researchers to understand a directly compared impact of teplizumab on Stage 2 T1D.

## The Tepli-QUEST Study combines and analyzes medical records, wearable data, and your survey responses

As part of this observational study, the ORBIT-CIDP Study team may analyze your medical records alongside those of other study participants to gain a clearer picture of how CIDP affects daily life. By combining data from many participants, the study can identify patterns and insights that may not be visible to any single physician.

To protect your privacy, all personal details that could identify you are removed through a process called de-identification, ensuring that researchers receive only the essential health information they need.
