Sanofi said its Tzield drug met the primary goal of a phase 3
clinical trial, showing potential to slow the progression of a type
of diabetes in newly diagnosed children and adolescents.
The French pharmaceutical giant said Tzield demonstrated in the
trial superior beta-cell preservation compared with placebo, and
that this indicates its potential to slow the progression of Stage
3 type 1 diabetes in this population.
The trial studied the efficacy and safety of the drug in
children and adolescents aged 8-17 years, the company said.
Results for the study's key secondary goals, which included a
numerically lower mean insulin dose, weren't considered
statistically significant, Sanofi said.
Sanofi added Tzield to its portfolio through the acquisition of
Provention Bio, which was completed in April.
