The updated version of the Sankyo and Warner-Lambert diabetes drug development deal:

diabetes drug

TOKYO, May 18 (Reuters) - Japanese drug maker Sankyo Co
Ltd said on Tuesday it and Warner-Lambert Co (NYSE:WLA -
news) of the United States have agreed to jointly develop a
diabetes drug.

Sankyo said in a statement the new drug will be an improved version of an existing diabetes treatment called troglitazone.

The latter was jointly developed by Sankyo and Warner-Lambert and introduced to the Japanese and U.S. markets in March 1997.

The two companies will start clinical trials on the new version of troglitazone before the end of this year.

It is expected to be more effective in treating diabetes patients with serious symptoms, Sankyo said.
