New technology could revolutionize market of 500 million diabetes patients (i24 News).
Oramed Pharmaceuticals (ORMP) developed insulin capsule that can be consumed orally
A new technology developed by tech company Oramed Pharmaceuticals may revolutionize treatment methods for millions who suffer from diabetes.
Instead of injecting insulin on a daily basis, Oramed developed an insulin capsule for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes that can be consumed orally.
Until now there were two main obstacles to taking insulin in the form of a pill: Firstly, a degradation that ensues from oral digestion, and secondly, the size of the insulin which is too big to get inside the bloodstream without direct injection.
“Oramed’s technology, that was developed by my mother and Professor [Avram] Hershko the Nobel Prize winner, allows us to overcome those obstacles,” Israeli CEO of Oramed Pharmaceuticals Nadav Kidron tells i24NEWS in an interview conducted in New York City.
The Chinese market, which consists of some 170 million people suffering from diabetes, could yet begin receiving the medication before the US market, Kidron confirmed.

Dear Shareholders,

We expect additional meetings with both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), during which we anticipate receiving the regulatory agencies’ guidance on our Phase 3 study design. We believe this milestone is the culmination of the hard work and dedication of our employees and investors, and positions us closer to achieving our goal of developing the world’s first oral insulin capsule for the treatment of diabetes.
