New US diabetes drug pipeline report as cases escalate

19 May 2009

A new report has been unveiled at an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, about medicines in the research pipeline for diabetes by the  Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). The study  shows that US pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms are testing a  record 183 new diabetes medicines. The products listed in the report are  in clinical trials or await approval by the Food and Drug  Administration.

"We released this report in North Carolina because of the alarming rise  in the number of new cases of diabetes in the state. Unfortunately,  these rising numbers reflect what is occurring nationwide," said the  PhRMA's senior vice president Ken Johnson, who presented the report's  findings at the SAS Institute located in the Research Triangle Park  Corridor. SAS has a successful diabetes management program for its  employees.
