Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from baseline in A1C at 26 weeks
Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 6 (week 26)

Change from baseline (Visit 1) in A1C at 26 weeks (Visit 6).

To determine the safety and tolerability of multi-doses of Oramed oral insulin in people with type 1 diabetes
15 days
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events.
Week -6 through Week 12 inclusive

The safety of Oral Insulin will be measured by the number of treatment-related adverse events according to CTCAE version 5.0 A biostatistician reviewed the study data and determined that it is of poor quality and cannot be appropriately analyzed. Conclusions about this study cannot be made based on the study data.

Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-16)) of Endogenous Glucose Production
Day 28 (1 day)

The endogenous glucose production in ORMD-0801 and placebo measured by the glucose with tracer attached using AUC(0-16) as the primary parameter. The intravenous infusion of \[6,6-2H2\]-glucose tracer is administered following administraiton of either placebo or intervention. The pharmacokinetic time points are basline (pre dose), 0.75 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hr, 2.5 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr, 6 hr, 7 hr, 8 hr, 9 hr, 10 hr, 11 hr, 12 hr, 13 hr, 14 hr, 15 hr, 16 hr post-dose.

Change From Baseline of HbA1C (Glycated Hemoglobin)
baseline (Run-in period, Week 0, Visit 1) and Week 12 (follow-up)

Least Squares Means change in HbA1C from baseline to Week 12 of the treatment period, where HbA1C is reported in units of percent. The change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 12 is expressed as a change in the value of HbA1C.

Change in Glucose Levels Between Pre-treatment and End of Treatment as Measured by 24-hour Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
Day 3 (run-in) and Day 8 (Day 5 of Active treatment)

Measure the change in Glucose (mg/dL) by 24 hour CGM between Day3 and Day8 (Change in mg/dL between run-in and Day 5 of Active treatment)

Measure of the Mean Night Time Glucose Levels Based on Two Nights of Glucose Measurements.
Baseline-Study day -7 (± 1 day) through Study day 1 (± 1 day), and Week 4 -Study day 22 (± 1 day) through Study day 29 (± 1 day)

The Effect of ORMD-0801 (Doses 1 \& 2, Pooled) on Mean Night Time Glucose Levels (measured in mg/dL) Based on 2 Nights of Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Data by Comparison of the Mean Change Between Baseline and Wk 4 of ORMD-0801 Treatment and Placebo Groups. The primary analysis will be based on the results from the two last days, unless technical difficulties preclude calculation of the weighted mean glucose levels. In this case, the last two days (selected between days 5, 6, and 7) with at least 80% of the expected number of measurements will be used. If days 5, 6 and 7 do not have 2 days with at least 80% of the expected number of measurements for a specific subject, then the value will be missing for that subject.

Change From Baseline in Total, Basal, and Bolus Exogenous Insulin Requirements
Baseline:Run-In Average (run in days 1-7), and treatment (day 6 and day 7)

Change from baseline (Run-in Average) to treatment days 6 and 7 (average of day 6 and 7) in exogenous insulin requirements in patients treated with ORMD-0801 compared to patients treated with placebo.

Frequently asked questions about ORMD-0801

What is ORMD-0801?

ORMD-0801 is an oral insulin capsule developed by Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker ORMP) as a small molecule therapy for metabolic disease. It is being studied in Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Type 1 diabetes, brittle Type 1 diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The program is in Phase 2 development, with a Phase 3 trial planned in Type 2 diabetes.

What does ORMD-0801 target?

ORMD-0801 targets the insulin receptor, known as INSR. By acting on INSR, the oral capsule is designed to deliver insulin activity through the gastrointestinal route rather than by injection. This receptor is central to glucose uptake and blood sugar regulation, which is why the program focuses on diabetes and related metabolic conditions.

Who makes ORMD-0801?

ORMD-0801 is developed by Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., which trades under the ticker ORMP. The company is advancing the oral insulin candidate across diabetes and NASH indications, including a planned Phase 3 study in Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United States.

What phase is ORMD-0801 in?

ORMD-0801 is in Phase 2 development overall, with completed Phase 2 trials in Type 2 diabetes and NASH. A Phase 3 study, NCT06731075, is listed as not yet recruiting and is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. ORMD-0801 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is ORMD-0801 in?

ORMD-0801 has been studied in several registered trials. Completed studies include NCT04616014 in Type 2 diabetes patients with NASH, NCT04564846 in Type 2 diabetes, and NCT03467932 in Type 2 diabetes. The Phase 3 trial NCT06731075 in Type 2 diabetes mellitus is not yet recruiting and plans to enroll 300 participants in the United States.

Is ORMD-0801 the same as ORMD 0801 or ORMD-0801 QD?

Yes. ORMD-0801 is also written as ORMD 0801, and related search terms include ORMD-0801 QD, ORMD-0801 (qd), ORMD-0801 Capsules, and ORMD-0801 8 mg. These refer to the same oral insulin candidate from Oramed Pharmaceuticals, including once-daily dosing and capsule formulations referenced in its clinical program.
