The T1DM phase 2 study of YG1699 has been completed successfully last month.This was a three-crossover,randomized, double-blind trial. It had a head-to-head comparison with DapaglifiozinI/Forxiga in this study. The study'sresults showed that YG1699 was not only superior to DAPA in hypoglycemic, but was also significantly superior to DAPAin controlling postprandial blood glucose and continuously increasing endogenous GLP1.


Recently the SGLT2 class has shown advantages not only in diabetes, but also in the treatment of heart failure andkidney disease. However, most recent researches have shown that due to the introduction of SGLT1, the efficacy andsafety of SGLT1+2 in these indications are better than SGLT2 products, and YG1699 has the potential to become thebest-in-class SGLTi product.
