Flamel Technologies Announces Positive Preclinical Results For Its Once-a-Week Formulation of Exenatide

LYON, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Jun 25, 2014) - Flamel Technologies ( NASDAQ : FLML ) today announced that its once weekly formulation of exenatide, based on its Medusa drug delivery platform, has been successfully tested in minipigs. Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist (GLP-1 agonist) used to treat type 2 diabetes. 

The product demonstrated close to 100% bioavailability with no initial release spike or burst effect in plasma. Two successive injections were administered with very similar release profiles. There were no adverse clinical signs and excellent local tolerability was observed.

The pharmacokinetic profile is compatible with a release over one week in humans.

Flamel Technologies expects to report phase I human clinical data in 2015.
