Diamyd Medical AB: Diamyd Medical to participate in two key US diabetes events
Diamyd Medical participates in two significant events in the field of diabetes; the Critical Path Institute (C-path) Workshop: 21st Century Trials in New-Onset T1D, taking place virtually on June 17-18, and the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions to be held in Chicago, US, on June 20-23.
Critical Path Institute Workshop
Diamyd Medical will participate in the C-Path workshop titled "21st Century Trials in New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes: How the use of C-peptide can accelerate the development of next-gen disease-modifying therapies for T1D," scheduled for June 17-18. This virtual workshop brings together researchers, physicians, industry leaders, patient advocates and regulators to discuss the current evidence for the use of C-peptide as an endpoint in clinical trials of new-onset Type 1 Diabetes. The goal is to reach conclusions and clarify the next steps in advancing disease-modifying therapies. C-path is a public-private non-profit organization with the mission to accelerate drug development in collaboration with regulators, industry and academia.
CEO Ulf Hannelius will represent Diamyd Medical in a panel discussion to provide the company's perspective and experience from conducting clinical trials in Type 1 Diabetes and regulatory development.

About Diamyd Medical
Diamyd Medical develops precision medicine therapies to prevent and treat Type 1 Diabetes. Diamyd® is an investigational antigen-specific immunomodulatory therapeutic for the preservation of endogenous insulin production specifically for individuals carrying a HLA DR3-DQ2 gene. Diamyd® has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. as well as Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of Stage 3 (clinically diagnosed symptomatic) Type 1 Diabetes. Diamyd® has also been granted Fast Track Designation for the treatment of Stage 1 and 2 (pre-symptomatic) Type 1 Diabetes. DIAGNODE-3, a confirmatory Phase III trial with potential for an accelerated approval pathway in the US is actively recruiting patients with recent-onset (Stage 3) Type 1 Diabetes at 60 clinics in eight European countries and in the US. Significant results in preserving endogenous insulin production have previously been shown in a large genetically predefined patient group - both in a largescale meta-analysis as well as in the Company's prospective European Phase IIb trial. The DIAGNODE-3 trial is recruiting only this patient group that carries the common genotype known as HLA DR3-DQ2, which constitutes approximately 40 % of patients with Type 1 Diabetes in Europe and the US. A biomanufacturing facility is under development in Umeå, Sweden, for the manufacture of recombinant GAD65 protein, the active ingredient in the antigen-specific immunotherapy Diamyd®. Diamyd Medical is a major shareholder in the stem cell company NextCell Pharma AB and in the artificial intelligence company MainlyAI AB.
Diamyd Medical's B share is traded on Nasdaq First North Growth Market under the ticker DMYD B. FNCA Sweden AB is the Company's Certified Adviser.
