Poxel CEO Thomas Kuhn said: “We continue to make progress advancing all three pivotal Phase lll TIMES trials for Imeglimin in Japan and completing patient enrolment of the TIMES 1 trial is another important clinical milestone that takes us one step closer to the Phase lll data readout in 2019.

“Enrolment of the TIMES 2 and TIMES 3 trials is anticipated to be completed during the second half of 2018.

“Our near-term focus in Japan is the successful execution of TIMES, and, to this end, we are working closely with our colleagues at Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma to support the Japanese New Drug Application submission anticipated in 2020.”

Imeglimin is an orally available drug candidate, which features a new mechanism that can reduce glucose level by simultaneously targeting liver, muscles and the pancreas, the three key organs that play an important role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
