Xeris Pharmaceuticals doses first patient in Phase 2 EIH trial

Xeris Pharmaceuticals announced that it has now begun dosing patients in a Phase 2 trial with its ready-to-use, room-temperature stable liquid glucagon in patients with Type 1 diabetes who experience episodes of exercise-induced hypoglycemia. “Many individuals with diabetes treated with insulin experience EIH and the complexity of managing it is a major barrier to the adoption of regular physical activity. And unfortunately, today there are no approved therapies to prevent EIH. This research will help us understand the potential for ready-to-use glucagon to offer real-world benefit in reducing or preventing these challenging events during exercise,” said Dr. Ronnie Aronson, MD, FRCPC, FACE, endocrinologist and chief medical officer of LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology, Toronto, Canada. Dr. Aronson is the principal investigator on the EIH trial.
