DANBURY, CT -- (Marketwired) -- 05/06/15 -- Biodel Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOD) today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Portfolio highlights since last fiscal quarter:
- Announced positive clinical data from Study 6-101 demonstrating that administration of the formulation designed for use in the Glucagon Emergency Management (GEM) device results in glucagon exposure and glucose response that met standard bioequivalence criteria when compared to marketed glucagon
- Announced results from a formative human factors study of its GEM device demonstrating a substantial improvement in ease of use and successful delivery of the full dose, as well as a reduction in dosing errors when compared to commercially available glucagon kits
- Successfully completed a public offering, which generated approximately $32.1 million in net proceeds, including proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option
- Received acceptance of 5 abstracts for presentation at the 2015 American Diabetes Association Scientific sessions. Four abstracts are on BIOD-531 and one is on the GEM program
Dr. Errol De Souza, president and chief executive officer of Biodel, stated: "This has been an extremely productive quarter for Biodel. With the exciting data from the recent clinical and human factor studies reported in the GEM program over the past two months and the continued progress made in the BIOD-531 program, coupled with our recent public offering, we are positioned to transition Biodel over the next 12 to 18 months to a later stage product development company with a diversified portfolio and significant potential to build shareholder value."
