Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: There will be a total of 60 patients enrolled in the study. The study participants will be enrolled at 2 centers (Vancouver and Toronto), and will be referred by adult or pediatric endocrinologists. This sample size estimation is based on results from week 52 C-peptide AUC values observed in the pilot UST1D study and the expected 1-year C-peptide decline in adult-onset T1D patients. Using a 2:1 Ustekinumab vs. placebo randomized assignment, a sample size of 60 yields 85% power to detect improvement in C-peptide function (alpha = 0.05) in the Ustekinumab group for an unstratified analysis at 12 months. Sixty-six participants (44 active: 22 placebo) will be recruited to allow for an approximate 10% loss to follow-up.Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)Primary Purpose: Treatment

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multi-centre phase II/II study to assess efficacy and safety of Ustekinumab (STELARA®) in patients with T1D. The investigators will perform a phase II/III clinical trial with a total of 66 adult (18-25 years old) subjects with recent-onset T1D. There will be two study cohorts, with a drug:placebo ratio of 2:1. Patients receiving the study drug will receive a loading dose of 6mg/kg Ustekinumab IV given at week 0. Thereafter, 90mg Ustekinumab subcutaneously given at weeks 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 (total of 7 doses). Patients randomized to receive placebo will receive respective amounts of a saline-placebo. An additional non-dosing visit at the midpoint (week 28) is required to measure 2-hour C-peptide during a MMTT. Patients will be followed for 78 weeks following the first dose. There will be a total of 10 study visits over 78 weeks, three of which are non-dosing and follow-up visits. Recruitment and screening for the study will be completed within the first 24 months. The follow up period is 1 and 1.5 years from the first dose.
