Biodel Announces Data Presentations at the Diabetes Technology Society Conference

DANBURY, CT -- (Marketwired) -- 10/19/15 -- Biodel Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOD) will present data from studies of its ultra-rapid-acting prandial/basal insulin and Glucagon Emergency Management (GEM) product candidates during the Diabetes Technology Society Conference to be held in Bethesda, MD from October 22 - 24, 2015.

The poster presentation (4:00 pm - 6:30 pm ET on Thursday, October 22, 2015) "Mixture of Insulin Monomers, Dimers and Hexamers Demonstrated by Sedimentation Velocity Analysis Supports Bi-Phasic Ultra-Rapid-Acting and Basal Profile of Concentrated Human Insulin Formulation BIOD-531" will detail the molecular mechanism for the unique, bi-phasic profile of BIOD-531, the Company's proprietary, potentially best-in-class, ultra-rapid acting prandial/basal insulin candidate.

The poster presentation (4:00 pm - 6:30 pm ET on Thursday, October 22, 2015) "Biodel's Glucagon Emergency Management (GEM) Auto-Reconstitution Device Demonstrates Superior Usability Compared to Marketed Glucagon Kits in Human Factors Study" will present data from formative Human Factors Studies which demonstrate clear-cut superiority of the GEM device with regard to ease-of-use, overall performance and reduction in dosing errors in comparison with the currently marketed glucagon kits.

The poster presentation (4:45 pm - 7:15 pm ET on Friday, October 23, 2015) "Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modeling Predict Concentrated Biphasic Insulin BIOD-531 Is Suitable for Twice or Three Times Daily Dosing with No Dose Accumulation" will present mathematical modeling of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of BIOD-531. These models predict that BIOD-531 is well suited for user-friendly dosing paradigms that are already commonly used in clinical practice.
