VIENNA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AFRESA® (insulin human [rDNA origin]) Inhalation Powder, a well-tolerated, ultra rapid acting insulin, showed no significant changes in pulmonary function and sustained glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes over four years of continuous treatment, according to data presented today at the 45th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. Results from the open-label, controlled study conducted with patients who had previously completed two three-month, randomized phase 2 clinical trials showed minimal mean change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) over a four-year period for those treated with AFRESA. Additionally, patients using AFRESA therapy experienced glycemic control for at least four years.
