SAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iSage Rx, a subsidiary of Amalgam Rx, Inc., a leading digital therapeutics company, shared findings from its clinical trial during the poster presentations at the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 79th Scientific Sessions. The results of the study show that patients can benefit from the use of automated insulin optimization support. The outcomes of the study include the following:
- On average, patients in the treatment arm reduced their A1C by 1.04% (p=.002) from baseline to study termination
- Patients with a beginning A1C of greater than 8% reduced their A1C by 1.88% (p=.005) from baseline to study termination
- The average starting and app-directed final doses of insulin increased by 39% (p=.047) with less than 2% of the fasting glucose readings recorded in iSage Rx below 70 mg/dL
“The results of the study show the significant clinical impact digital therapeutics can have when managing insulin dosing,” said Kristin Grdinovac, M.D., assistant professor at the, University of Kansas School of Medicine. “iSage Rx is a simple but powerful tool that allows a doctor to quickly create and prescribe an insulin dosing plan for patients to self-manage the titration of their insulin; there’s essentially no follow-up required between office visits.”
“Achieving the primary and secondary endpoints in our study is a great validator of our product, approach, and team,” said Suzanne Clough, M.D., chief medical officer and co-founder, Amalgam Rx. “This is an exciting moment in time for the digital therapeutics industry; we’re continuing to show the clinical efficacy of our solutions while simultaneously driving adoption.”
