Arecor Therapeutics plc Presents Positive Data from Phase I Clinical Trial of Ultra-Concentrated, Ultra-Rapid Acting Insulins Arecor Therapeutics plc presents positive results from its Phase I clinical trial of the ultra-concentrated, ultra-rapid acting insulin candidate, AT278, in Type 2 diabetics with a high body mass index (BMI), at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid. AT278 (500 U/mL) is an ultra-concentrated, Ultra-rapid acting, novel formulation of insulin that accelerates the absorption of insulin post injection, even when delivered at a high concentration, and hence a lower injection volume. With no concentrated (>200 U/mL), rapid acting insulins on the market, AT278 has potential to be the first, and only, insulin available to the growing number of patients with high daily insulin requirements and to be a critical enabler of next-generation miniaturised and longer wear insulin pumps. In the double-blind, randomised, two-way crossover study, the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) and safety profiles of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of 0.5 U/kg AT278 (500 U/mL) were compared with those of a single SC dose of 0.5 U/kg NovoRapid® (100 U/mL), a currently available gold standard, rapid acting insulin, in 41 participants with Type 2 diabetes and a median BMI of 29.7 kg/m2. The trial was conducted in a glucose clamp setting at the Medical University of Graz and Joanneum Research in Austria, an internationally recognised centre of excellence in the field of diabetes research. The PK/PD profile for AT278 was accelerated compared withNovoRapid®. AT278 demonstrated a 1.7-fold (95% CI 1.32; 2.96) higher glucose-lowering effect within the first 60 minutes which was statistically superior toNovoRapid®(p< 0.0001). The glucose-lowering effect remained higher up to 2 hours post-dosing (treatment ratio [95% CI] 1.19 [1.02; 1.39]). AT278 showed a faster onset of glucose-lowering effect, with a 5-minute earlier onset of action and 25-minute earlier tEarly50% GIRmax thanNovoRapid®. It also showed a faster onset of insulin exposure compared with NovoRapid, witha 5-minute faster insulin appearance and 24-minute faster tEarly50% Cmax.Insulin exposure with AT278 was 1.5-fold higher within the first 60 minutes(95% CI 1.28; 1.71). The superior early glucose-lowering effect of AT278 was maintained when the population was divided into BMI subgroups. Both insulins were well tolerated. Adverse events were mostly mild to moderate and not related to the study drugs. Arecor is continuing to explore funding options for AT278, including but not limited to co-development arrangements, to conduct a clinical pump study to further demonstrate the potential of AT278 to disrupt the market by enabling the next generation of truly miniaturised, longer-wear insulin pumps, a key focus for patients, physicians and the industry.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 23% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 30% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (23% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.8% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.8% per year for the foreseeable future.

Aarecor Therapeutics plc Announces Publication of Phase I Data for AT278 in Diabetes Care Arecor Therapeutics plc announced that the American Diabetes Association journal, Diabetes Care, has published data from the Company's Phase I clinical trial of AT278, its ultra-concentrated (500 U/mL), ultra-rapid acting insulin product candidate. The manuscript, titled 'Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a Novel U500 Insulin Aspart Formulation: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Study in People with Type 1 Diabetes', is now available online. In the Phase I clinical study in people with Type I diabetes, AT278 (500 U/mL) clearly demonstrated faster insulin absorption with an accelerated pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile compared to gold-standard insulin NovoRapid® (100 U/mL) despite a 5-fold increase in concentration. AT278 is an ultra-concentrated (500 U/mL) novel formulation of insulin that has been designed to accelerate the absorption of insulin post injection, even when delivered at a high concentration, and hence via a lower injection volume. Currently, there are no concentrated (>200 U/mL) rapid acting insulin products on the market, and therefore, AT278 has the potential to be the first such product available to patients. It has the potential to enable more effective management of blood glucose levels to the increasing number of people with diabetes with high daily insulin requirements (>200 units/day) whilst maintaining the convenience and compliance benefits of being able to deliver these high insulin doses in a lower injection volume via a single injection. In addition, a truly rapid acting concentrated insulin is also a critical step towards the advancement and miniaturisation of the next generation of insulin delivery devices. AT278 is also currently being investigated in a second Phase I trial in patients with Type 2 diabetes, to further explore the product's potential to disrupt the market as the first concentrated, yet rapid acting, insulin. The study initiated earlier this month and is expected to complete within fourth quarter of 2023. Annuncio • Nov 22
Arecor Therapeutics plc Commences Second Clinical Trial with At278 Ultra-Concentrated Ultra-Rapid Acting Insulin Candidate for Type 2 Diabetes Arecor Therapeutics plc announced the BASG (Bundesamt für Sicherheit im Gesundheitswesen)clearance of the Group's Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for AT278, an ultra-rapid acting, ultra-concentrated (500 U/mL) insulin candidate, in Type 2 diabetic patients, the primary target population. The approval of the CTA means that Arecor may now initiate the second Phase I clinical trial for AT278, to further explore the potential for AT278 to disrupt the market for insulin treatment, as the first concentrated, yet rapid acting insulin. AT278 has previously demonstrated a faster insulin absorption with an accelerated Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile compared to the lower concentration NovoRapid® (100 U/mL) in aPhase I clinical study in Type 1 diabetic patients. This type 2 diabetes trial will also focus on exploring the PK/PD profile of AT278 compared with NovoRapid® (100 U/mL), as well as Humulin-R U500®. The trial is a double blind, randomised, crossover study comparing the PK/PD profile following a single subcutaneous dose of 0.5 U/Kg of AT278 (500 U/mL) with NovoRapid® (100 U/mL) in 32 people with Type 2 diabetes in a euglycemic clamp setting. In addition, the PK/PD profile following a single subcutaneous dose of 0.5 U/Kg Humulin-R U500® will be evaluated in each of the participants. The trial will be conducted at the Medical University of Graz, Austria, an expert clinical research facility in metabolic diseases research and euglycaemic clamp methodology, with Professor Thomas Pieber as the trial's Principal Investigator.

Arecor Therapeutics plc Announces Headline Results from Phase I Trial of AT247 Arecor Therapeutics plc announced headline results from the second Phase I clinical trial of its ultra-rapid acting insulin, AT247, which support its potential to facilitate a fully closed loop artificial pancreas. AT247 is a 100U/mL ultra-rapid acting novel formulation of insulin that has been designed to accelerate the absorption of insulin post injection. The superiorpharmacokinetics /pharmacodynamics (PK/PD)profile of a single dose of AT247 compared with gold standard insulins NovoLog® and Fiasp® has been previously demonstrated in a Phase I study. This second clinical study further confirms that AT247 has a superior PK profile compared with NovoLog® and Fiasp®, showing a statistically significant difference meeting the trial's co-primary endpoint. AT247 also demonstrated a statistically superior early glucose lowering effect in the trial's second primary endpoint compared with NovoLog® which was calculated from baseline corrected Incremental AUC GIR (Glucose Infusion rate) 0-60min (mg/kg) during post-hoc analysis. In addition, AT247 demonstrated a similar glucose lowering profile to Fiasp®, however it did not meet superiority for this endpoint within this study. The trial further demonstrated that AT247 can be safely and effectively delivered via continuous SC infusion using an insulin pump. With a superior PK profile and promising PD results, this study supports the potential that AT247 can enable even more effective disease management for people with Type I diabetes using fully automated delivery of insulin via a pump in closed loop mode. the double-blind, randomised, three-way cross over Phase I clinical study in 24 male and female participants with Type I diabetes, the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety of AT247 were compared with those of NovoLog® and Fiasp®, currently available rapid acting insulin treatments, when delivered over 3 days by insulin pump. In this cross over study the PK/PD profiles following a s.c. bolus dose of 0.15 U/Kg AT247, NovoLog® and Fiasp®, delivered by insulin pump, were compared in a euglycemic clamp setting. The basal rate of insulin dosing was set at 0.02 U/Kg/Hr during the clamp period. No safety signals were detected. Detailed data from the trial will be submitted for presentation at a future international diabetes conference. Annuncio • Sep 21
Arecor Therapeutics plc Presents Positive Data for At278 at Easd Arecor Therapeutics plc presented positive results from the Phase I clinical trial of its ultra-rapid acting, ultra-concentrated insulin product candidate, AT278, at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting. The abstract, "Phase I study investigating PK and PD of highly-concentrated insulin aspart AT278 U500",is being presented as part of the Short Oral Discussion Session A, "How complicated is type 1 diabetes?" (11:45-12:45 CEST). AT278 is Arecor's ultra-concentrated (500 U/mL), ultra-rapid acting insulin candidate, formulated using the Company's ArestatTM technology and designed to significantly accelerate insulin absorption post injection to enable more effective and convenient management of blood glucose levels in people with high daily insulin requirements. In the double-blind, randomised, single dose, two-period cross over Phase I clinical study (EudraCT:2020-002033-15) the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of AT278 was compared to NovoRapid®, the current gold standard treatment, in 38 patients with type 1 diabetes. The trial was conducted in a glucose clamp setting at the Medical University of Graz and Joanneum Research in Austria, an internationally recognised centre of excellence in the field of diabetes research. The PK/PD profile for AT278 was accelerated compared with NovoRapid®. Following dosing, AT278 showed a faster onset of insulin exposure compared with NovoRapid®, as demonstrated by an earlier onset of appearance (-6.0 min, P<0.0001), earliertEarly50%Cmax(-23.0 min, P<0.0001)and 4.0 times higher AUCInsulin,0-30min (95% CI: 3.29; 4.90). AT278 also showed a more rapid onset of glucose-lowering effect compared with NovoRapid®as demonstrated by an earlier onset of action (-9.5 min, P<0.0001) and earlier tEarly50%GIRmax (-20.0 min, P<0.0001). Overall insulin exposure and glucose-lowering effect were comparable between both insulins (AUCInsulin,0-8h treatment ratio 0.98 [95% CI: 0.92; 1.00]; AUCGIR,0-8h treatment ratio 1.02 [95% CI: 0.95; 1.09]). All reported adverse events were mild in intensity and no safety signals were detected. A further clinical trial of AT278, in people living with type 2 diabetes, is expected to be initiated later this year. The randomised, double-blind Phase I study in obese type 2 diabetes patients will recruit approximately 28 adult patients with each receiving one subcutaneous dose (0.5 U/kg) of AT278, NovoRapid® and Humulin® R U 500 in three separate treatment periods. The PK/PD profile will be measured in each treatment period in a glycemic clamp setting. Board Change • Aug 05
