Frequently asked questions about AC2993

What is AC2993 used for?

AC2993 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and type 1 diabetes. It is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) and has completed clinical trials evaluating its effect on glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin or sulfonylurea, and on beta cell function in type 1 diabetes.

Who is developing AC2993?

AC2993 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN. The drug is in clinical development for metabolic conditions, specifically diabetes mellitus, and has completed multiple trials.

What phase is AC2993 in?

AC2993 is in Phase 2 clinical development. While some completed trials are listed as Phase 3, the overall development stage is Phase 2. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is AC2993 in?

AC2993 has completed four clinical trials: NCT00039013, NCT00044668, NCT00064714, and NCT01789957. These trials evaluated the drug's effect on glucose control in type 2 diabetes patients on metformin or sulfonylurea, its effect on beta cell function in type 1 diabetes, and an extension study.

Is AC2993 the same as exenatide?

AC2993 is also known as exenatide, a synthetic version of exendin-4. It is being studied for its glucose-lowering effects in type 2 diabetes. The drug is developed by AstraZeneca and has completed trials in patients with type 2 diabetes.
