+Added: Our proprietary flagship

+Added: We conducted the ORA-D-013-1 Phase 3 trial on patients with type 2 diabetes, with inadequate
+Added: glycaemic control who were on two or three oral glucose-lowering agents.
+Added: The primary endpoint of the trial was to evaluate the efficacy

+Added: forward for our oral insulin candidate.
+Added: Accordingly, we completed a subpopulation analysis that identified patient groups with specific
+Added: parameters (BMI, baseline HbA1c, and age) demonstrating an over 1% placebo-adjusted, statistically significant reduction in HbA1c.
+Added: on these findings, on September 12, 2024, we submitted a protocol to the FDA titled, “A Double-Blinded, Placebo-controlled, Double
+Added: Dummy Multi-Center Randomized, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the efficacy and safety in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Inadequate

+Added: We intend on initiating a 60-patient, US-based clinical trial designed
+Added: to validate the robustness of our oral insulin formulation in these high-responder populations.
+Added: The trial is designed to use the smallest
+Added: adequately powered patient population expected to obtain such validation in what we believe to be the shortest time possible, providing
+Added: a cost-effective approach to generate additional compelling evidence and refine our patient selection criteria for future potential regulatory
