Lixisenatide: Combination Treatment Could Offer Differentiated GLP-1 Advantage to Diabetics
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Zealand Pharma (CPH:ZEAL) (OTC: ZLDPF) President and CEO Dr. David Solomon
details timeframes in the development of lixisenatide, a treatment for type-2
diabetes licensed to Sanofi (NYSE:SNY), in an exclusive video interview with
PropThink.com.
"We've had a terrific partnership with [Sanofi] since 2003. They've advanced
this through ten Phase III studies, 38 countries, 400 sites, and over 4300
patients , and we're very pleased to report that the results of all those ten
trials have been positive to date," says Solomon.
Currently lead by Novo Nordisk's (NYSE:NVO) Victoza and Amylin's (NASDAQ:AMLN)
exenatide products, lixisenatide sets itself apart in this growing GLP-1 market
($6B by 2017) with good glycemic control and weight-loss - often difficult for
diabetes patients. They hope to market the treatment as a monotherapy and also
as a combination product with leading global insulin Lantus.
Solomon says Zealand is also seeking partnerships for some of their 11 early-
stage pipeline candidates. He discusses implications of the company's balance
sheet and Zealand's financial outlook for the next few years as they focus on
novel poly-pharmacological approaches to diabetes treatment.
