Frequently asked questions about insulin 338

What is insulin 338?

Insulin 338 is an investigational oral insulin tablet developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of diabetes. It is a small molecule that acts as an agonist at the insulin receptor (INSR). The drug has completed Phase 2 clinical testing and is not approved for any indication.

What is insulin 338 used for in diabetes?

Insulin 338 is being developed for the treatment of diabetes, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Clinical trials have evaluated it in tablet form for type 2 diabetes and as a subcutaneous formulation in type 1 diabetes. It remains an investigational therapy and is not approved for clinical use.

How does insulin 338 work?

Insulin 338 is an agonist of the insulin receptor (INSR). By binding to and activating INSR, it mimics the action of endogenous insulin to promote glucose uptake and lower blood glucose levels. This mechanism underlies its development as an insulin replacement therapy for diabetes.

Who is developing insulin 338?

Insulin 338 is being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, a pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NVO. Novo Nordisk conducted the clinical trials of the drug, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies in healthy volunteers and patients with diabetes.

What phase is insulin 338 in?

Insulin 338 has completed Phase 2 clinical development. Five trials have been completed, including one Phase 2 study and four Phase 1 studies, with a total enrollment of 242 participants. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is insulin 338 in?

Insulin 338 has been studied in five completed trials. The Phase 2 trial NCT02470039 compared the tablet formulation with insulin glargine in type 2 diabetes. Phase 1 trials include NCT02304627, NCT02220296, and NCT01931137, which evaluated pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and food effects in healthy subjects and patients with type 1 diabetes.

Is insulin 338 the same as insulin 338 (GIPET I)?

Yes, insulin 338 is also known as insulin 338 (GIPET I). GIPET I refers to the oral delivery technology used in its tablet formulation. Both names refer to the same investigational drug candidate developed by Novo Nordisk for diabetes.
