Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

The proceeds of the private placement will go to corporate purposes regarding the Phase 1 clinical trial of AB101, an injectable once-weekly basal insulin. Funding will also go to emerging a pipeline of candidates for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

The investigational new drug application for AB101 became effective on July 1, and the company plans to have its first in-human clinical trial and dosing the first patient with AB101 before the end of July.
