as required by European Union (EU) regulations. Successful completion of this clinical trial in Europe should contribute to the satisfaction of regulatory requirements in Europe and North America. Both the United States and European regulatory authorities have confirmed that SBS-1000 insulin is eligible to receive approval through an abbreviated regulatory path.

About SBS-1000

SBS-1000 is human insulin produced from genetically enhanced safflower. SemBioSys has demonstrated that SBS-1000 insulin is physically, structurally and functionally indistinguishable from pharmaceutical-grade human insulin through analytical testing and pre-clinical sub-chronic toxicology studies in rodents and primates.
