GLUCOTRACK ANNOUNCES START OF ENROLLMENT FOR HUMAN CLINICAL STUDY OF CONTINUOUS BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITOR
December 03 2024 - 7:30AM
Glucotrack, Inc. (Nasdaq: GCTK) (“Glucotrack” or the “Company”), a
medical technology company focused on the design, development, and
commercialization of novel technologies for people with diabetes,
has announced the commencement of patient enrollment for its
short-term human clinical study. The study will focus on the
Company’s continuous blood glucose monitor (“CBGM”) and will
include participants with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Data
from the study is expected to be available within 6-8 weeks.
Unlike traditional continuous glucose monitors
that measure glucose levels in interstitial fluid, Glucotrack’s
CBGM measures glucose directly from blood, aiming to provide
real-time readings without the lag time typically associated with
interstitial glucose measurements. The CBGM is a long-term
implantable device with no on-body external component, designed for
three years of continuous, accurate blood glucose monitoring,
offering a more convenient and less intrusive glucose monitoring
solution.
The prospective, single arm study is a
short-term in-hospital study in which the CBGM sensor will be
placed intravascularly for a period of four days. Study
participants, who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus
requiring glucose monitoring and intensive insulin therapy, will
participate in several fixed meal and glucose challenges during the
study period.
The study is being conducted under Principal
Investigator Dr. Alexandre Abizaid, MD, PhD. Dr. Abizaid is the
Director of Interventional Cardiology at Instituto do Coração in
São Paulo, Brazil, and a Visiting Professor of Medicine at Columbia
University Medical Center in New York City. He is a key faculty
member of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation in New York and a
world-renowned interventional cardiologist who has conducted
numerous first in human clinical studies in the cardiology field.
The study will be conducted at Instituto do Coração (InCor) of the
Hospital das Clínicas of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de
São Paulo, which is widely considered the best cardiology hospital
in Brazil and Latin America, according to Newsweek.
“Following the success of our preclinical
program, we are pleased to reach this key milestone in the
development of our novel CBGM,” said Paul V. Goode, PhD, President
& Chief Executive Officer of Glucotrack. “We believe this
groundbreaking early feasibility study will demonstrate the
potential for our real-time continuous blood glucose monitor to
offer a truly differentiated and less burdensome approach to
glucose monitoring for people with diabetes.”
