Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc (ORMP)

Sobre a empresa

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a pharmaceutical company. It is engaged in the research and development of pharmaceutical solutions, including an oral insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes, and the use of orally ingestible capsules or pills for delivery of other polypeptides. Its pipeline products are ORMD-0801 Type 1, ORM-0801 Type 2 and ORMD-0901. Its flagship product, ORMD-0801, is an orally ingestible insulin capsule. It is anticipated for use as a complementary agent to insulin injections in the treatment of Type I diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and T2Dm disease. This treatment regimen should allow for fewer daily injections and a lower frequency of blood glucose fluctuations in cases of unstable and brittle T1DM. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone, which is a type of gastrointestinal hormone that stimulates the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. The Company's other product is ORMD-0901, an orally ingestible GLP-1 capsule.
