VALBIOTIS presenteert positieve resultaten van een onderzoek naar TOTUM-63, werkzame stof van VALEDIA®, uitgevoerd door het CarMeN-laboratorium in Lyon, tijdens de jaarvergadering van de European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)

  • Deze preklinische studie, uitgevoerd door het CarMeN-laboratorium, expert op het gebied van stofwisselingsziekten, bevestigt de belangrijkste effecten van de werkzame stof TOTUM-63 op het gewicht en de glucosestofwisseling.
  • Uit de gegevens blijkt dat TOTUM-63 in staat is om de afscheiding van drie hormonen die essentieel zijn voor de bloedglucoseregulatie (insuline, glucagon en GLP-1) in een preklinisch model van stofwisselingsziekten aanzienlijk te corrigeren.
  • Deze resultaten zijn geselecteerd voor presentatie op de 55ste EASD Jaarvergadering die op 16-20 september 2019 in Barcelona zal worden gehouden.

LA ROCHELLE, Frankrijk – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Regelgevend Nieuws:

VALBIOTIS (Paris:ALVAL) (FR0013254851 – ALVAL / PEA/SME eligible), een onderzoeks- en ontwikkelingsbedrijf dat zich inzet voor wetenschappelijke innovatie ter voorkoming en bestrijding van stofwisselingsziekten, kondigde vandaag de presentatie aan van een preklinische studie van het CarMeN-laboratorium over de werkzame stof TOTUM-63, die door het CarMeN-laboratorium is uitgevoerd, op de 55e jaarvergadering van de European Association for the Study of Diabetes die tussen 16 en 20 september 2019 in Barcelona, Spanje, zal plaatsvinden.

VALBIOTIS Presents Positive Results From a Study on TOTUM-63, Active Substance of VALEDIA®, Conducted by the CarMeN Laboratory in Lyon, at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)

  • This preclinical study conducted by the CarMeN laboratory, expert in metabolic diseases, confirms the major effects of the active substance TOTUM-63 on weight and glucose metabolism.
  • Data demonstrates capacity of TOTUM-63 to significantly correct the secretion of three hormones, essential for blood glucose regulation (insulin, glucagon and GLP-1) in a preclinical model of metabolic disease.
  • These results have been selected for presentation at the 55th EASD Annual Meeting which will be held September 16-20, 2019 in Barcelona.

LA ROCHELLE, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Regulatory News:

VALBIOTIS (Paris:ALVAL) (FR0013254851 – ALVAL / PEA/SME eligible), a Research & Development company committed to scientific innovation for preventing and combating metabolic diseases, today announced the presentation of a preclinical study conducted by the CarMeN laboratory on the active substance TOTUM-63, at the 55th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes being held September 16-20, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.

This preclinical study evaluated the effect of TOTUM-63 on the secretion of certain hormones which play a fundamental role in glucose metabolism. In a murine model of metabolic disease, TOTUM-63 completely corrected insulin, glucagon and GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) concentrations in the portal vein, in response to a glucose intake. These three hormones are central to the regulation of blood glucose.

This study confirms, via an independent laboratory, the effects already demonstrated1 on blood glucose and weight by TOTUM-63, the active substance of VALEDIA®, a product designed to control blood glucose in prediabetics.

Béatrice MORIO-LIONDORE*, Research Director at the CarMeN Research Laboratory, comments: “We are delighted to be presenting this study at the 55th EASD Annual Meeting. The results obtained demonstrate the significant effects of TOTUM-63 on weight and glucose metabolism in this preclinical model. In addition, our study aimed to evaluate the effect of TOTUM-63 on the hormonal imbalances associated with metabolic diseases. We have proven that TOTUM-63 corrects the blood levels of three key hormones in glucose metabolism: insulin and glucagon, secreted by the pancreas, as well as GLP- 1, an intestinal hormone essential for blood glucose control that is well-known in the field of diabetes.”

Pascal SIRVENT, Head of Discovery and Preclinical and Translational Research at VALBIOTIS adds: “The results obtained by the CarMeN laboratory team have high value for VALBIOTIS: by examining the hormonal level, this study has made a fundamental contribution to increasing our understanding of the action of TOTUM-63 on metabolism. The hormonal effects reported today are consistent with the improvement in metabolic parameters that have already been widely observed, both in preclinical and clinical studies with TOTUM-63. These results provide clear evidence of the positive action of TOTUM-63 on the levels of hormones whose secretion is altered in prediabetes or diabetes.

About TOTUM-63, the active ingredient of VALEDIA®

Prediabetes is a growing public health problem worldwide, recognized by international organizations such as the WHO, the American Diabetes Association and the International Diabetes Federation, among others. Without effective treatment, 70% to 90% of prediabetic patients will develop type 2 diabetes.

VALEDIA® is the first clinically validated product specifically designed to help prediabetics reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. VALEDIA® is the only product that contains the active ingredient TOTUM-63, a unique and patented combination of 5 plant extracts that act in synergy to target the physiopathological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes.

TOTUM-63 has already shown perfect tolerance and safety during a Phase I/II clinical study conducted in healthy volunteers. The results of the Phase IIA international randomized, placebo-controlled study showed that in patients with prediabetes, TOTUM-63 reduces fasting blood glucose and blood glucose at 2 hours, two risk factors of type 2 diabetes. In these subjects, who also presented with hypertriglyceridemia and abdominal obesity, TOTUM-63 significantly reduced body weight, waist circumference, blood triglycerides, blood LDL cholesterol, Fatty Liver Index and arterial hypertension.
