Dedicated to companies working in the field of diabetes, the industrial PreciDIAB Initiative club welcomes 5 new members to build new projects together. Defymed, Enterome, GD Biotech, Enterosys, Valbiotis… they tell us why they chose to join the club.
Defymed is a company developing innovative implantable medical devices. ExOlin® allows the intraperitoneal delivery of insulin by being coupled to an external insulin pump (start of clinical trials expected by the end of 2020). MailPan® is a device for the macro-encapsulation of insulin-secreting cells. Our goal is to find the best device / cell combination in order to hope for the start of clinical trials in 2022.
