Generex Biotechnology announces North American initiation of Generex Oral-lynT Phase III Diabetes Study
The Phase III protocol, identified as GEN084-OL, calls for a six month trial which is expected to include 750 patients with Type-1 diabetes mellitus. The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of Generex Oral-lyn and the RapidMistT Diabetes Management System with that of standard regular injectable insulin therapy as measured by Hba1c in patients with Type-1 diabetes mellitus. Generex Oral-lyn is delivered into the mouth via the Company's proprietary RapidMist device. Unlike inhaled insulin products, buccally-absorbed Generex Oral-lyn does not enter the lungs.
"This clinical milestone represents a long history of research and development to optimization for Generex Oral-lyn which is now entering the final clinical stage in major jurisdictions," said George Markus, the Company's Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. "Our product is designed to offer a safe and convenient alternative to prandial insulin injections which can improve treatment compliance and quality of life for patients with diabetes."
Generex Oral-lyn is presently approved for commercial sale in India and Ecuador. The delivery of Generex Oral-lyn clinical supplies to global sites and centers, including Ukraine and Russia, is on-going with roll-out to other regions to follow.
