\"\"<\/a>Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) approved the manufacturing and distribution of Sanofi’s new type 2 diabetes treatment, Lyxumia (lixisenatide) in Japan.<\/p>\n

Lyxumia, the first once daily prandial GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA), is also the first GLP-1 RA approved in Japan for use in combination with basal insulin. Lyxumia is indicated for patients with type 2 diabetes when the following do not provide adequate glycemic control: diet and exercise and sulfonylureas (with and without biguanides) or diet and exercise and soluble prolonged-acting or intermediate acting insulin (with and without sulfonylureas).<\/p>\n

MHLW approval in Japan of Lyxumia is supported by the international GetGoal program, which included a total of 11 clinical trials involving more than 5,000 patients with type 2 diabetes. Among these trials is the pivotal Phase III study GetGoal-L-Asia, which included 159 patients from Japan.<\/p>\n

Lyxumia is now approved in Mexico, the European Union, Australia and Japan. The New Drug Application for lixisenatide in the United States is currently being reviewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
