AntriaBio Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 1 Clinical Study of AB101

LOUISVILLE, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/25/17 --

AntriaBio, Inc. ("AntriaBio or the "Company") (OTCQB: ANTB) , a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative drug therapies to improve the lives of patients with diabetes and metabolic diseases, announced today the dosing of the first patient in a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial of its lead product candidate, AB101.

"The successful filing of the IND followed by initiation of the first-in-human clinical trial for AB101 are significant milestones for our Company as these events validate our robust preclinical results and bring us to the doorstep of being able to demonstrate clinical proof-of-concept for AB101 as a once-weekly insulin," stated Brian Roberts, M.D., Vice President of Clinical Development at AntriaBio. "Based on animal data, AB101 has the potential to improve overall glycemic control in patients with diabetes while offering a more convenient injection regimen compared to currently available basal insulins. The availability of such a therapy could optimize initiation and adherence to insulin and provide an important treatment option for patients and providers at a time when diabetes continues to increase to historic proportions."

The Phase 1 clinical trial is a first-in-human single ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AB101 in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The first study part will be sequential cohort dose ranging of AB101 while an optional second study part will compare one or more tested doses of AB101 from part 1 to active comparator Lantus^® (insulin glargine). In addition to safety and pharmacokinetic assessments, the time-action pharmacology of AB101 -- onset, peak and end of action -- will be evaluated using several measures of glycemic response, including the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique, continuous glucose monitoring and background insulin use.

Following the completion of the first part of the study, the Company expects to review data and announce high-level results as early as Q4 2017.
