수요일, 1월 10, 2024

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sept. 20, 2019, history was made when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Rybelsus as the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it wasn't just a milestone for T2D management. It was a turning point in medicine, opening the floodgates to a universe of potential therapeutic applications for this remarkable molecule. While undeniably transformative for diabetes and weight loss, GLP-1's reach now extends far beyond, likely surpassing even the wildest dreams of its creators. From Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to drug addiction, clinical trials are painting a stunning picture of GLP-1's versatility. And it doesn't stop there. Strong evidence points to opportunities in heart disease, chronic kidney disease and a plethora of other conditions. The newfound applications of this super-drug re-enforce the significant potential for Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (Profile), with its powerful DehydraTECH(TM) drug-delivery formulation and processing technology that improves both delivery and efficacy of GLP-1 for diabetes and potentially a host of other maladies. Lexaria joins other companies, including Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), Roche (OTCQX: RHHBY) and WW International Inc. (NASDAQ: WW), that are committed to providing powerhouse solutions in the fields of diabetes, weight loss and more.

Key Points: 
  • GLP-1 agonists are among the hottest drugs in healthcare, with uses targeting multibillion-dollar diabetes and obesity markets and much more.
  • Lexaria Bioscience has developed DehydraTECH drug-delivery platform, which is being shown to improve pharmacokinetics of orally administered drugs.
  • Lexaria issued final data from the pilot study and is planning for multiple human and animal studies early in 2024.
  • Uncontrolled blood sugar dramatically increases the risk of devastating comorbidities, including kidney disease, vision loss, amputations, heart attacks, strokes and early death.
