How safe and effective is orally delivered insulin for patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes?
This study compared the safety and effectiveness of different doses of an oral insulin capsule formulation (Capsulin™) to patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed that twice-daily, orally administered Capsulin at a dose of 150 international units (IU) was safe and resulted in a significant lowering of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; blood glucose control over the past 2-3 months), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and triglycerides (TG; blood fats) levels.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a shorter dual antiplatelet therapy duration after coronary stenting in patients with acute or recent heart attack at high bleeding risk.
This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a shorter dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with acute or recent myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack) at high bleeding risk. The data showed that a shorter DAPT duration (1 month) significantly reduced the risk of bleeding compared with a long DAPT duration (minimum of 3 months) with similar risks of death or heart attacks in these patients.
