LEXINGTON, Mass. and ORLANDO, Fla., June 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Fractyl Laboratories Inc. (Fractyl) today announced the presentation of breakthrough research providing the first clear mechanistic link between modern diets and their causal effect on the pandemics of insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic diseases. In an animal model, a modern diet high in fat and sugar caused overgrowth of the duodenal mucosa and overexpression of key gut hormones from the duodenum, the first segment of the intestine. These findings suggest a role of the duodenum in insulin resistance and metabolic diseases.

Fractyl’s Revita DMR Significantly Improves Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
LEXINGTON, MA – AUGUST 12, 2016 – Fractyl Laboratories Inc. (Fractyl) announced today publication of data in the current issue of Diabetes Care from the Company’s first-in-human study of RevitaTM duodenal mucosal resurfacing (Revita DMR). “Endoscopic Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: 6-Month Interim Analysis from the First-in-Human Proof-of-Concept Study” is the first comprehensive analysis and publication of data from 39 patients in the first-in-human Revita DMR trial. The results showed a significant improvement in hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled on one or more oral antidiabetic agents (screening HbA1c: 9.5%). Overall, Revita DMR was well tolerated with minimal gastrointestinal symptoms post procedure. In the study, DMR significantly improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, with a predominant effect of lowering fasting hyperglycemia, suggestive of a potential insulin-sensitizing mechanism.
