$ATRX “MLR-1023 could represent a major leap forward in diabetes care, particularly for the 320,000-480,000 people in the U.S. expressing C-peptide that indicates they have residual levels of functional beta cells,” said Andrew Kucharchuk, Chief Executive Officer at Adhera Therapeutics. “Researchers have for a number of years tried unsuccessfully to identify a safe and well tolerated agent that induces replication of human beta cells. MLR-1023 could be the first to do so. Clinical trials have demonstrated MLR-1023 as an insulin sensitizer and we greatly look forward to initiating a Phase 2 trial to evaluate it as an inducer of beta cell replication.”
