Blood-sugar drops after weight-loss surgery have no FDA-approved treatment. Vogenx starts a trial.
Vogenx (NASDAQ:VOGX) initiated a Phase 2b trial for mizagliflozin, a treatment for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), a condition with no FDA-approved therapies. The EMERGE trial will enroll 36 adults, testing 5 mg and 10 mg doses against placebo. Mizagliflozin aims to reduce hypoglycemic events by delaying glucose absorption in the small intestine. Vogenx's CEO and CSO highlighted the trial's significance and the drug's potential.
