Diamyd makes investment in time-to-market

Diamyd Medical announces today that the company has signed an agreement with

Inclinix Inc., North Carolina, for accelerated recruitment of children and

adolescents recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the US Phase III study of

the diabetes vaccine Diamyd®.

Diamyd Medical is conducting a global Phase III program with the diabetes

vaccine Diamyd®, including in total 640 children and adolescents with

recent-onset type 1 diabetes. The program is composed of one study in the US and

one parallel study in nine countries in Europe. The US recruitment effort will

soon be launched together with Inclinix Inc., under the name DIAPREVENT.

- Our agreement with Inclinix is performance based and targets to enable filing

for market approval in the US during 2011, which secures our time-to-market

projections for the Diamyd® vaccine, says Elisabeth Lindner, President and CEO,

Diamyd Medical.

The US Phase III study is rapidly expanding its number of sites from 13 to at

least 43 sites. The new sites are pediatric diabetes clinics for enrollment of

patients from 10 years of age. The highest incidence of type 1 diabetes is in

the age range 10-15 years. Inclinix has an excellent track record in patient

recruitment for type 1 diabetes in the US and is working through targeted

internet advertising, social media networking, professional regional recruitment

managers and regional referrals of patients to the study clinics.

- We are pleased that Diamyd Medical has chosen Inclinix as their enrollment

partner for this important study. We look forward to the opportunity to

contribute to the development of the Diamyd® vaccine and thereby make a truly

global impact on the pediatric medical community, says J. Tobin Geatz, President

and CEO, Inclinix.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Diamyd® can preserve the body's

own insulin producing capacity in persons recently diagnosed with type 1

diabetes. Maintaining the insulin producing capacity could result in simpler

treatment and a better blood sugar balance, which in turn could reduce the risk

of both short-term and long-term complications typically associated with

diabetes.
