Biodel to Present Data on Concentrated Ultra-Rapid-Acting/Basal Insulin and Glucagon at the 75th American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions

DANBURY, CT -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/15 --

Biodel Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOD)

• Four abstracts describing BIOD-531, the proprietary ultra-rapid-acting/basal insulin formulation, accepted for poster presentation (including one late-breaker) or publication.
• Results from pilot study of Biodel's lyophilized glucagon formulation intended for use in auto-reconstitution device accepted as late-breaker poster presentation.

Biodel Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOD) will present data from human and animal studies with its ultra-rapid-acting/basal insulin and glucagon product candidates during the 75th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association being held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts from June 5 - 9, 2015.

Dr. Alan Krasner, Biodel's Chief Medical Officer, stated: "We are pleased to report the results from two clinical studies demonstrating the superior prandial glucose control that can be achieved with subcutaneous injection of BIOD-531 vs. marketed prandial/basal insulins in two distinct population of patients with type 2 diabetes. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of BIOD-531 when delivered by insulin pump bolus appear to be distinct from the profiles when given by injection in the diabetic swine model. These data and the results of a pilot clinical trial showing similarity of Biodel's lyophilized glucagon formulation to marketed glucagon formulations will be presented."

Biodel presentations and published abstracts include:
