Efficacy, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Exendin (9-39) in Patients With Post Bariatric Hypoglycemia
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous exendin (9-39) in subjects with post-bariatric hypoglycemia. Development of this subcutaneous formulation of exendin (9-39) would represent a targeted therapeutic approach for this rare disease with unmet clinical need.
