MONTREAL, June 19 /CNW/ - ConjuChem Biotechnologies (TSX:CJB) today announced that data relating to its proprietary PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4 Albumin Conjugate for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes will be presented at the 67th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to be held June 22-26, 2007 in Chicago, IL. The ADA's annual Scientific Sessions meeting is one of the largest gatherings of health care professionals involved in diabetes research and the delivery of diabetes care.

"These encouraging results from our Phase I/II multiple-dose clinical studies demonstrate that our PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4 Albumin Conjugate is a well-tolerated and effective therapy," said Mark D. Perrin, President and CEO. "The data was further evidence of our compound's potential to become a once-weekly treatment for Type 2 diabetes."

The study titled "PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4 (CJC-1134-PC) Demonstrates Safety and Efficacy as an Adjunct Therapy to Metformin: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, One Month Phase I/II Study in 70 Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus", authored by Maggie Wang et al., was featured as a late breaking abstract. Seventy patients were enrolled in US and Canada and randomized to 1 mg, 2mg, 3mg of PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4 or placebo treatment groups. All three treatment groups experienced reductions in fasting plasma glucose that were statistically significant versus baseline (p less than 0.005) and versus placebo (p less than 0.03) over the 5-week treatment period. Median HbA1c values decreased from baseline by 0.7%, 0.8% and 0.9% in the 1mg, 2mg, and 3mg groups, respectively, at the end of the study (Day 63) and were statistically significant (p less than 0.03 by ANCOVA) between pooled active patients (n=52) and placebo (n=18). There was no significant change in weight in the treatment cohorts (baseline 81-85kg) at the end of the treatment period. Generally low-titer antibodies were de
