Oral Insulin (ORMD-0801) Effects on Glucose Parameters in Uncontrolled T2DM on OADs
This Medfyle was published more than two years ago. More recent Medfyle on this topic may now be available.
Key messages
- This randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, phase 2b study aimed to assess the efficacy of 12-weeks of 32 mg ORMD-0801, administered once, twice or three times daily in 272 T2DM subjects.
- ORMD-0801 was not associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia or with severe or serious side effects.
- No significant weight gain or postprandial glucose parameters were recorded over the 12-week treatment period.
- This study clearly demonstrated that when considering changes in 12-week HbA1c levels, there is no significant benefit to be derived from dosing more than once daily, at night.
- QD dosing will certainly enhance subject compliance and reduce treatment costs.
