Arecor Therapeutics PLC said Monday that its insulin candidate for diabetes, AT278, met all primary and secondary endpoints with positive headline results from the Phase 1 clinical trial.

The London-listed biopharmaceutical company--backed by Unilever PLC--said AT278 had the potential to significantly improve post prandial glucose control and reduce the injection volume and/or number of daily injections of people with diabetes who have a high daily insulin need.

"These positive data for AT278, the second product in our diabetes franchise, follow the earlier positive results from the Phase I clinical trial of AT247... Together they position Arecor with a unique combination of ultra-concentrated and ultra-rapid insulin candidates offering the potential to meet the broad needs of patients across the growing diabetes market," Chief Executive Sarah Howell said.
