Nearly 200 New Medicines in Development for Diabetes
New medicines in development include treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
America’s biopharmaceutical research companies are currently developing 180 new medicines to help the nearly 400 million people who have diabetes worldwide. These medicines in development, all either in clinical trials or under review by FDA, include 30 for type 1 diabetes, 100 for type 2, and 52 for diabetes-related conditions, according to a new report by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
According to the report, some of the initiatives being taken against diabetes include treatments that will improve glucose-dependent insulin secretion for type 2 diabetes, inhibit an enzyme linked to diabetic neuropathy, and stimulate and enhance the regeneration of insulin-producing cells for type 1 diabetes.
A new public-private partnership involving the National Institutes of Health, 10 biopharmaceutical companies, PhRMA, and several non-profit disease foundations aims to transform the current model for developing new diagnostics and treatments for certain diseases. The Accelerating Medicines Partnership will begin with three- to five-year pilot projects focused on three disease areas, including diabetes.

Biophysical and Aggregate Characterization for the Development of Biologics
June 10th 2025This eBook explores how advanced particle analysis technologies are revolutionizing biologic drug development. It highlights the importance of accurately identifying and characterizing subvisible particles to ensure drug safety, stability, and regulatory compliance. Techniques like Backgrounded Membrane Imaging (BMI) and Fluorescence Membrane Microscopy (FMM) are often used for their capabilities in detecting protein aggregates and degraded excipients such as polysorbates. Case studies and experimental results demonstrate how these tools provide high-throughput, low-volume analysis that enhances decision-making in formulation screening and manufacturing.
