VALBIOTIS Announces Positive Results From the Phase IIA Clinical Study of VALEDIA®, Now the First Product Proven Effective in People With Prediabetes
Regulatory News:
VALBIOTIS (Paris:ALVAL) (FR0013254851 – ALVAL / PEA/PME eligible), Research & Development company committed to scientific innovation for preventing and combating metabolic diseases, today announced positive results (topline data) for the Phase IIA study1 of VALEDIA® (active substance: TOTUM-63), which evaluated this product's efficacy in a prediabetic population, compared to placebo. In this population, VALEDIA® significantly reduced fasting and post-prandial blood glucose levels, the two main risk factors for type 2 diabetes and the primary and secondary endpoints of the study, respectively. VALEDIA® also significantly reduced body weight and waist circumference. Thanks to these results, VALEDIA® is the first clinically validated product designed for prediabetic people, to reduce several risk factors for type 2 diabetes. These results enable the concomitant launch of the last two Phase IIB clinical studies (REVERSE-IT and PREVENT-IT), to obtain the first health claims for the risk reduction of type 2 diabetes in Europe and North America. This regulatory process does not require a Phase III study. Commercialization is planned for 2021, as previously announced.
Professor Jean-Marie BARD, Hospital Practitioner and Professor of Fundamental and Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Nantes, scientific expert for the study comments, "The reduction of fasting blood glucose and blood glucose 2 hours after a glucose intake is a new advance for prediabetics. These results show the impact of VALEDIA® on metabolism, with even a decrease in body weight and waist circumference, usually hard to demonstrate in clinical studies. With such data, VALEDIA® proves its efficacy to reduce type 2 diabetes risk factors.“
Murielle CAZAUBIEL, member of the board and Director of Development and Medical Affairs at VALBIOTIS, adds: "VALEDIA® was designed to carry out multiple actions on several metabolic targets, thanks to an original plant-based composition. This innovation has had clinical success in people with prediabetes: we now know that VALEDIA® acts on risk factors for type 2 diabetes. This study is a great success, and we'd like to express our thanks to all the volunteers who participated."
Main results of the VALEDIA® Phase IIA clinical study in prediabetic people
This multicenter study, conducted in Europe, evaluated TOTUM-63, the active ingredient of VALEDIA®, in prediabetic people for 6 months. It was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Included subjects received a daily dose of 5 grams of VALEDIA® while the control group received 5 grams of the placebo. Dietary habits and physical activity levels remained unchanged in both groups during the study. The inclusion criteria were strict to ensure the robustness of the study: the subjects had to have moderate hyperglycemia, hyperglycemia 2 hours after glucose dose (OGTT, Oral Glucose Tolerance Test), abdominal obesity and hypertriglyceridemia. With such characteristics, the included subjects were particularly at risk of fast and pejorative evolution. Analyses were conducted on 51 subjects, 13 in the placebo group and 38 in the VALEDIA® group, according to the unbalanced study design.
Main characteristics of the study population:
Age: 57.1 years old
Gender: 35 women and 16 men
Body Mass Index: 31.3 Kg/m2
Fasting glycemia: 1.26 g/L
2h-glycemia (OGTT): 1.85 g/L
Blood triglycerides: 1.78 g/L
• Main criterion met:
VALEDIA ® significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels, compared to the placebo, after 6 months (p<0.05).

Moderate fasting hyperglycemia is the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes identified in people with prediabetes. With these results, VALBIOTIS defines the reduction of fasting blood glucose levels as the primary endpoint of the last two clinical studies that will be used to support requests for health claims in Europe, the United States and Canada.
• Secondary criteria met:
VALEDIA® significantly reduces blood glucose levels after 2 hours (post-prandial blood glucose), the second risk factor for type 2 diabetes, compared to the placebo (p<0.05).

Furthermore, safety data confirm that this plant-based product achieves perfect tolerance.
For Sébastien PELTIER, CEO of VALBIOTIS "The results of this clinical Phase IIA study exceed our expectations. They demonstrate that TOTUM-63, the active substance of VALEDIA®, reduces the two main risk factors for type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes. This success validates the concomitant launch of the last two clinical studies for VALEDIA® to obtain the first health claims for the risk reduction of type 2 diabetes, in Europe and in North America. This major milestone strengthens our discussions with potential partners for marketing VALEDIA®. This is a critical milestone for VALBIOTIS: we have now scientifically validated in humans the efficacy of our new plant-based approach to prevent metabolic diseases. We would like to thank our teams, partners and shareholders. "
About TOTUM-63, the active substance of VALEDIA®
Prediabetes is an increasingly prevalent public health problem worldwide and recognized by international organizations such as the WHO, the American Diabetes Association and the International Diabetes Federation. Without effective treatment, 70% to 90% of prediabetic patients will develop type 2 diabetes.
VALEDIA® is the first clinically validated product specifically designed to help prediabetics to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. VALEDIA® is the only product that contains the active substance TOTUM-63, a unique and patented combination of 5 plant extracts that act synergistically to target the physiopathological mechanisms of type 2 diabetes.
TOTUM-63 has already shown perfect tolerance and safety during a Phase I/II clinical study conducted in healthy volunteers. The results of the first international randomized placebo-controlled study showed that TOTUM-63 reduces fasting blood glucose levels and blood glucose after 2 hours, two risk factors for type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes.
All the results from the Phase IIA study, as well as all key company information are available in the updated corporate presentation, available here: www.valbiotis.com/en/documents/
