France (ots/PRNewswire)
- New results for Toujeo(R)(insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection, 300 U/mL; "U300") from EDITION I/II/III meta-analysis, EDITION III, IV, JP 1 and JP 2 studies
are among over 65 abstracts to be presented -
Sanofi announced today that new data on U300, Lyxumia(R) (lixisenatide) and Lantus(R) will be presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 74th Scientific Sessions in San Francisco, June 13?'17. Abstracts are available on the ADA website [http://professional.diabetes.org/Congress_Display.aspx?TYP=9&CID=93229].
Eight abstracts from the EDITION Phase III program for U300 will be presented. The worldwide and comprehensive EDITION program evaluated, in broad and diverse populations of people with diabetes, the efficacy and safety of U300 vs. Lantus(R). Following presentation of EDITION I[1] and II[2] results in 2013, a meta-analysis of EDITION I/II/III; full results from the other four studies in the EDITION program; and year one results from EDITION I and II showing the first longer-term data for U300, will be presented at ADA 2014.
More than 55 additional abstracts from across the Sanofi Diabetes portfolio will also be presented. Data highlights from lixisenatide, the fixed-ratio combination of lixisenatide and Lantus(R), Lantus(R), and the TEENs study are listed below.

About Toujeo(R) (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection, 300 U/mL)
Toujeo(R) (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection, 300 U/mL; "U300") is a new basal insulin currently in development for the treatment of people with diabetes mellitus. U300 has a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile with studies demonstrating it is smoother and more prolonged than Lantus(R).[3-6] Toujeo(R) is the intended trade name for U300. U300 is not currently approved or licensed anywhere in the world.
About Lyxumia(R) (lixisenatide)
Lyxumia(R) (lixisenatide) is a once-daily prandial glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. GLP-1 is a naturally-occurring peptide hormone that is released within minutes after eating a meal. It is known to suppress glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells and stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells.
Lyxumia was in-licensed from Zealand Pharma A/S , http://www.zealandpharma.com and was approved in Europe in 2013 for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to achieve glycemic control in combination with oral glucose-lowering medicinal products and/or basal insulin when these, together with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate glycemic control. Lyxumia is currently approved in over 40 countries worldwide for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes, with commercial launches in Europe, Japan, Mexico and other markets. Sanofi plans to resubmit the New Drug Application for lixisenatide in the United States in 2015, after completion of the ELIXA cardiovascular outcomes study. Lyxumia is the proprietary name approved by the European Medicines Agency and other health authorities for the GLP-1 RA lixisenatide.
The Lyxumia pen is the winner of the Good Design Award 2012 and the iF Product Design Award. The variant of the Lyxumia pen used in Japan won the Good Design Award (G Mark) 2013.
