Abbott Laboratories received U.S. FDA clearance for its Lingo and Libre Rio over-the-counter continuous glucose monitoring systems, enabling it to challenge Dexcom Inc. in this rapidly growing market. Dexcom received FDA clearance for its OTC Stela continuous glucose monitor in March.

The U.S. FDA clamped a full clinical hold Biomea Fusion Inc.‘s phase I/II study of BMF-219 for treating type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The hold sank the stock on June 7 as the company looked to find answers so it could sit down with the agency to discuss next steps.

News out of the Heart Rhythm Society 2024 meeting May 16-19 highlighted the rapid disruption pulsed field ablation (PFA) devices have wrought in cardiac arrhythmia treatment, so it is little surprise to see that PFAs are among the top five technologies with transformative potential identified by Clarivate plc in its Medical Technologies to Watch in 2024 report. The impact of the other four – continuous glucose monitors (CGM) for diabetes, neurostimulation devices, surgical robotics and renal denervation – has been just as revolutionary, if longer in being realized.

Novo Nordisk A/S’s once-weekly human insulin analogue for adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus could be a useful tool for patients and physicians, the U.S. FDA’s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee said May 24, but it also agreed that the risks outweighed the benefits for improving glycemic control.

Once-daily insulin treatment is getting a challenge from Novo Nordisk A/S’s once-weekly option. The U.S. FDA’s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee meets Friday, May 23, to review the BLA for once-weekly Awiqli (insulin icodec), a human insulin analogue from Novo for adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
