Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMLN) today announced that the Company will present data for its FDA-approved diabetes drugs, BYETTA® (exenatide) injection and SYMLIN® (pramlintide acetate) injection, and its investigational diabetes drug candidate BYDUREON™ (exenatide extended-release for injectable suspension) at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) 70th Annual Scientific Sessions being held in Orlando, FL from June 25 to June 29. The Company will also webcast an investor presentation on Sunday, June 27 at 7:30 PM ET.
The annual meeting of the ADA is one of the largest scientific meetings for endocrinologists and other health care professionals involved in diabetes research and diabetes care. Amylin will introduce data through two oral presentations and 21 posters at the meeting. The data presented will demonstrate significant progress in key research and clinical programs for BYETTA, BYDUREON and SYMLIN. Additional information will be presented during two corporate symposia.
"We are very excited to have such an active presence at this year's meeting and present compelling new data for BYETTA and SYMLIN that further demonstrate their safety and efficacy profiles," said Daniel M. Bradbury, president and chief executive officer of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "We are also sharing important data from our ongoing BYDUREON clinical program that will provide new insights about the potential of this investigational therapy in the treatment of diabetes. Our progress in each of these programs demonstrates our continued commitment to the innovative science that can help transform the lives of people living with diabetes."
For the first time, Amylin is also hosting an Online Summit focusing on perspectives from leaders within the diabetes community and information from topics that will be discussed at ADA. The summit provides a resource to help advance understanding of the key issues facing the field and viewpoints on the latest innovations and treatment strategies that will shape the future of diabetes care. The first online perspectives were posted on June 7 and will continue throughout the meeting. Additional "wrap-up" perspectives will be posted in the weeks following the conference.
