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.
By allowing PicnicHealth to collect, digitize and de-identify your or your child’s medical records, you have the opportunity to participate in Stage 2 T1D research while staying in control of your health data.
Sanofi is sponsoring this study to better understand the real-world experiences of those affected by Stage 2 T1D. Your or your child’s de-identified data helps inform efforts to develop future treatments and improve care.

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.
Keep your records
We’ll continue to collect new records for the duration of the study. Any records collected are yours to keep forever, to use and share as you please.We’ll continue to collect new records for the duration of the study. Any records collected are yours to keep forever, to use and share as you please.

PicnicHealth plays a key role by collecting and organizing patients’ medical records. For the Tepli-QUEST Study, PicnicHealth ensures that relevant health data is accurately captured and made available to the research team in a secure and de-identified format. This enables researchers to analyze real-world outcomes without compromising your privacy.
PicnicHealth is a leading health technology company simplifying healthcare for everyone. PicnicHealth is a partner selected by Sanofi to support the study. Through a combination of clinical expertise and technology, PicnicHealth provides patients with their organized medical records to prepare for doctor visits and advocate for themselves. PicnicHealth will only share de-identified data with the research team — meaning your name and personal information are removed before researchers access anything.
Sanofi is the pharmaceutical company behind teplizumab. PicnicHealth is the data partner for the Tepli-QUEST Study, facilitating the secure collection and de-identification of health records for Sanofi’s research purposes. Both parties collaborate to ensure a smooth and compliant study process.
Once you enroll and provide authorization, PicnicHealth begins by searching for your records through our connected network. If necessary, direct requests can also be sent to your healthcare providers to retrieve copies of your medical records. Some electronic records can be available within an hour, while records from individual providers may take a couple of weeks. Overall, this process can take a few weeks depending on how quickly providers respond. PicnicHealth will continuously update your timeline as new records are received and processed.
The Tepli-QUEST Study is not a clinical trial. A traditional clinical trial involves testing a specific treatment, like a drug or medical device. The Tepli-QUEST Study is a remote observational research study that you can complete from home. The Tepli-QUEST Study will only review de-identified survey answers, data from glucose monitors as well as insulin pumps, and your medical records produced during your visits to the doctor. In other words, there are no additional labs, tests, or appointments required for you to participate.
PicnicHealth will never share your records without your explicit consent. By signing up for this study, you're agreeing to share your de-identified data with Sanofi for the purpose of the Tepli-QUEST Study. No one outside PicnicHealth - including your doctor or insurance company - will be able to see your medical records unless you choose to share them by clicking "Send Records" at the top of the PicnicHealth timeline. You will be the only person who can access your medical records on PicnicHealth.
Sanofi wants to better understand how teplizumab is working in real-world settings. By gathering data from people using the medication in their daily lives, Sanofi can understand outcomes, side effects, and treatment patterns. This helps improve care, informs future research, and supports regulatory and safety monitoring efforts.
PicnicHealth follows Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant practices and uses advanced end-to-end encryption and security measures, the same technology banks use to keep information secure. Your records are only shared with your permission.
