The Announcement

This announcement comes at the heels of the May 2017 release, where MannKind and One Drop announced a memorandum of understanding to explore collaborations related to One Drop and Afrezza, MannKind's inhaled rapid-acting mealtime insulin. The primary goal of the collaboration is to identify ways to simplify the complexity of starting and staying on mealtime insulin along with customized coaching to help people achieve their A1C goals.

Under the A-ONE study, appropriate people with type-2 diabetes who meet inclusion criteria will be randomized to one of two treatment terms: Afrezza® with One Drop | Premium ? or ? One Drop | Premium alone. Changes in hemoglobin A1C, self-care, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and other metrics will be assessed too, under the study. The Company expects to deliver improved health outcomes at a fraction of the cost of current standards of care, where it is set to evaluate whether a completely integrated digital diabetes therapeutics platform coupled with MannKind's Afrezza could deliver a feasible, low-cost solution.
