Published:17th Aug 2021
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, has published an original article titled “Efficacy and safety of 28-day treatment with oral insulin (ORMD-0801) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus - A randomized placebo-controlled trial” authored by Dr. Roy Eldor, Dr. Joel Neutel, Kenneth Homer and Oramed’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Miriam Kidron.

The article presents the results of a trial that assessed the safety and efficacy of Oramed’s lead drug candidate ORMD-0801 in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The trial met its primary endpoint and found that in patients with T2DM, bedtime ORMD-0801 curbed increases in night-time glycemia, 24-hour glycemia, and HbA1c without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia or safety events as compared to the control arm.
