On Jan 25th, 2009 I did write a blog on "Insulin from Plants ?". It has come true now and SemBioSys Genetics has come up with clinical results for the plant-produced insulin, congrats once again. The results are of great importance because of the fact that SBS-1000 (produced by SemBioSys, from plant) was bioequivalent to Eli Lilly's Humulin R, a widely-used human insulin in North America, meeting all four of the endpoints outlined below and also SBS-1000 in humans showed pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics indistinguishable from Eli Lilly's Humulin R, as SemBioSys had previously shown in animals.
Though final analyses regarding safety data are not yet available, the adverse events observed were typical for a study involving recombinant human insulins (Humulin R and Humulin S) . The most common events were insulin injection site reactions, pain at the site of glucose infusion, headache and dizziness, with all similar rates of occurrence for both Humulins and SBS-1000. There were no serious adverse events and there were no events indicative of a systemic allergic response to any of the insulins. Best of luck for ur further efforts. More....
