MannKind Corporation Release: Follow-up Safety Data Show AFREZZA(TM) Comparable to Standard Antidiabetic Therapy in Lung Function Tests

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulmonary function test results (PFTs) in patients treated with AFREZZATM (insulin human [rDNA origin]) Inhalation Powder, a well-tolerated, ultra rapid acting insulin, at follow-up measurements were similar to PFT results observed in patients receiving standard antidiabetic therapy, according to data presented today at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists 19th Annual Meeting (Poster #267). Results from the follow-up study suggest that the pattern and magnitude of changes in lung function associated with the use of AFREZZA in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are not likely due to any structural alterations in the lungs and are not clinically meaningful.
