Patients treated with TTP399 had improved Time in Range (TIR), reduced time in hyperglycemia, fewer hypoglycemic events, and lower bolus insulin dose
HIGH POINT, N.C., Sept. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), today presented additional positive data from its phase 2 Simplici-T1 study in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at the 55th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
In a poster titled “Results from the sentinel and learning phase of the Simplici-T1 study, the first clinical trial to test activation of glucokinase as an adjunctive treatment for type 1 diabetes”, Dr. Carmen Valcarce, Chief Scientific Officer at vTv Therapeutics presented new continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin dose data from the patients with complete CGM profiles in the completed Phase 2 - Part 1 of the study. Key results presented included:
- TTP399 treatment (n=6) increased Time in Range from baseline to end of treatment by 11% (2.7 hours) (p=0.055) per day (24 hours), and by 12% (1.7 hours) (p=0.04) during the critical waking hours (7am-9pm) relative to placebo (n=9).
- TTP399 treatment reduced the total daily mealtime bolus insulin dose by 23% compared to 4% for placebo while significantly improving glycemic control.
- Patients in the treatment group experienced fewer Level 1 (≥54-70 mg/dl) and Level 2 (
