New physiologic lessons highlight the role of intestine hormones in contributing to insulin resistance. Fractyl has developed a device-based endoscopic procedure to directly address this intestinal hormonal impairment using an outpatient therapy. Fractyl is currently engaged in clinical trials designed to demonstrate that its endoscopic procedure can dramatically improve glucose control and potentially reduce the need for additional medications. The company's mission is to set people free from the daily burdens of type 2 diabetes management, empower physicians with a safe and reliable therapeutic treatment option, and lower the tremendous human and financial costs of diabetic complications for patients, hospitals, and payers.
