AntriaBio Files Investigational New Drug Application for Once-Weekly Basal Insulin
AB101
AB101
LOUISVILLE, CO – (Marketwired) – June 5, 2017 – AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ANTB), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative drug therapies for patients with diabetes and metabolic diseases, announced today that it has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for AB101, a once-weekly basal insulin for patients with diabetes mellitus. The Company intends to subsequently initiate a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study.
Preclinical studies of AB101 have demonstrated a comparable activity to regular human insulin in vitro and a weekly insulin time-action profile in animals, with no acute or delayed sudden insulin increase. These studies also suggest that an ultra long-acting insulin such as AB101 may potentially stabilize endogenous insulin-glucose homeostasis and reduce glycemic variability. These observations occurred at clinically relevant dose projections, demonstrating proof of concept of the potential for AB101 as a weekly subcutaneous basal insulin therapy for patients.
The first-in-human Phase 1 study will assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and time-action profile of single ascending doses of AB101, administered to subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Prosciento, formerly known as Profil Institute for Clinical Research, will conduct the study.
Nevan Elam, AntriaBio’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Following the positive data from our preclinical proof of concept studies in three animal species, we are excited for AB101 to enter the clinic as this is the next critical step along the path to achieve our ultimate goal of providing an important new treatment option for patients suffering with diabetes.”
