About Adocia

To be a global leader in the innovative delivery of insulins and therapeutic proteins Adocia is a clinical stage biotechnology company that specializes in the development of innovative formulations of already approved therapeutic proteins. It has a particularly strong expertise in the field of insulins. Adocia's proprietary BioChaperone® technological platform is designed to enhance the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic proteins and their ease of use for patients.

In December 2014, Adocia signed a partnership with Eli Lilly for the development and commercialization of its new formulation of insulin lispro, BioChaperone Lispro, previously tested successfully in two phase Ib/IIa studies.

Adocia will continue to develop its fast-acting human insulin formulation internally. Two clinical studies are planned over 2015, a post-meal glucose control study with HinsBet U100 and a PK/PD study with HinsBet U500. Adocia is also actively continuing the development of its BioChaperone Combo, a unique combination of insulin Glargine, the gold-standard of basal insulin and insulin lispro, a fast-acting insulin analog. Two Phase IIa clinical studies are scheduled for the second quarter 2015, one which is a glycemic control after a standardized meal with type 1 diabetic patients, the other clinical study is about pharmacodynamics in euglycemic clamp with type 2 diabetic patients. A dose-response clinical study in type 1 diabetic patients is also scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2015.

In addition, Adocia launched a phase III clinical study in India on its product based on PDGF-BB for treatment of the diabetic foot ulcer (BioChaperone PDGF-BB) in August 2014.

Adocia has extended its activities to the formulation of monoclonal antibodies, which are gold-standard biologics for the treatment of various chronic pathologies (cancer, inflammation, etc.). Adocia is engaged in collaborative programs with two major pharmaceutical companies in this field.
