About Diamyd Medical

Diamyd Medical develops therapies for type 1 diabetes. The diabetes vaccine Diamyd^® is an antigen-specific immunotherapy for the preservation of endogenous insulin production. Significant results have been shown  in a genetically predefined subgroup in a large-scale metastudy as well as in the Company's European Phase IIb trial DIAGNODE-2, where the diabetes vaccine is administered directly into a lymph node in children and young adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. A new facility for vaccine manufacturing is being set up in Umeå for the manufacture of recombinant GAD65, the active ingredient in the therapeutic diabetes vaccine Diamyd^®. Diamyd Medical also develops the GABA-based investigational drug Remygen^® as a therapy for regeneration of endogenous insulin production and to improve hormonal response to hypoglycaemia. An investigator-initiated Remygen^® trial in patients living with type 1 diabetes for more than five years is ongoing at Uppsala University Hospital.
