Intranasal Calcitonin. (Unigene?)

Unigene Reports Success of Nasal Calcitonin Clinical Study - Primary Marker of Bone Loss Reduced by Over 40% -
FAIRFIELD, N.J., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Unigene Laboratories, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UGNE - news) today reported that the analysis of the data from the pivotal clinical trials for its proprietary nasal calcitonin spray showed a rapid and persistent reduction in bone loss as measured by several accepted blood markers. The results of this study will be presented on October 15th at the annual meeting of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research in Phoenix, Arizona.

A substance in the bloodstream which measures the rate of bone loss in the tested subjects decreased by an average of over 40% in the first month of the study, and that reduction was maintained throughout the three-month dosing period during which the measurements were taken. All other blood markers of bone loss that were measured showed significant decreases as well. The study was conducted with 134 osteoporotic women at five clinical centers in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
