Glucotrack reports success in first human glucose monitor trial

RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Glucotrack, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCTK), a medical technology company, announced the successful completion of its first in human clinical study for a novel continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM). The study, focusing on the safety and procedural aspects of the company’s new blood glucose monitor, met its primary endpoint with no serious adverse events related to the procedure or device.

The clinical trial involved six participants with diabetes mellitus, who underwent a four-day in-hospital evaluation of the CGM sensor lead placement, use, and removal. The sensor, placed in the subclavian vein, connects to a prototype sensor electronics component on the skin. According to the company, this approach offers direct blood glucose measurement, potentially overcoming limitations of traditional CGMs that measure glucose in interstitial fluid.

Paul V. Goode, PhD, President & Chief Executive Officer of Glucotrack, expressed satisfaction with the study’s outcome, stating that the system performed with similar accuracy to previous animal studies. Interventional cardiologists successfully conducted the placement and removal procedures.

David Klonoff, MD, a Clinical Professor of Medicine, commented on the study’s encouraging results, suggesting the technology could present a new alternative for continuous glucose monitoring in diabetes management.

Glucotrack’s CGM is designed as a long-term implantable device, intended for three years of continuous use without the need for an on-body external component, aiming to offer a less intrusive and more convenient solution for glucose monitoring.

The successful trial marks a step forward for Glucotrack, which specializes in developing technologies for diabetes care. The company’s stock has faced significant headwinds, with InvestingPro showing a -94.52% price return over the past year and an overall financial health score rated as "WEAK."

Glucotrack plans to advance this technology into long-term clinical trials, moving closer to potential FDA approval and commercial availability.
