Regulatory News:
VALBIOTIS (Paris:ALVAL) (FR0013254851 - ALVAL, PEA/SME eligible) a Research & Development company committed to scientific innovation for preventing and combating metabolic diseases, announces the First Patient First Visit in the international Phase II/III REVERSE-IT clinical study designed to assess TOTUM-63 for the reduction of Type 2 Diabetes metabolic risk factors.
Murielle CAZAUBIEL, member of the Management Board and Director of Development and Medical Affairs at VALBIOTIS, comments: "The first visit of this first subject, a few days after obtaining both ANSM1 approval and the favorable decision from the CPP2 , marks the concrete launch of the REVERSE-IT study, the results of which are expected in mid-2022. We are right on schedule and are delighted to be able to enter the operational phase of this major study so quickly. We also welcome the enthusiasm and commitment of all the partner investigation centers."
Dr Hans-Juergen WOERLE, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at Nestlé Health Science, states: "The first visit of the first subject in the Phase II/III study is a great step forward for TOTUM-63 and encouraging news for patients with prediabetes or untreated early stage Type 2 diabetes. With the 600 patients in this global clinical study, the objective is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of a new plant-based extract.“
The pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled REVERSE-IT study will include 600 patients with fasting hyperglycemia ranging from prediabetes to untreated early stage Type 2 Diabetes. The study should confirm the efficacy of TOTUM-63 - at a dose of 5g/day for 6 months - in addressing the metabolic risk factors for developing Type 2 Diabetes, compared to placebo. The protocol will assess the effect of TOTUM-63 on fasting blood glucose, the primary endpoint of the study, as well as on two-hour blood glucose and anthropometric parameters (body weight, waist circumference and body fat mass), all well-known risk factors for Type 2 diabetes.
REVERSE-IT is being conducted in more than 30 centers in France and internationally.
As a result of this achievement, VALBIOTIS will receive the first milestone payment of CHF 3 million from Nestlé Health Science. The global strategic partnership with Nestlé Health Science, concluded in February 2020, includes an upfront payment of CHF 5 million, already received by Valbiotis, development & sales milestone payments up to a maximum CHF 66 million and tiered royalties on net sales. The agreement also includes the supply of TOTUM-63 by VALBIOTIS to Nestlé Health Science, representing an additional source of revenue.
ABOUT THE REVERSE-IT STUDY
The international Phase II/III REVERSE-IT study is the final step in the clinical development of TOTUM-63, an innovative plant-derived active substance designed to reduce the risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will involve 600 patients with impaired glucose metabolism ranging from prediabetes to untreated type 2 diabetes (early stage). The protocol calls for oral intake of TOTUM-63 at a dose of 5 g/day for 6 months, versus placebo.
The REVERSE-IT study is expected to confirm the efficacy of TOTUM-63 on the major risk factors for type 2 diabetes: fasting blood glucose elevation, the primary endpoint of the study, two-hour blood glucose and anthropometric parameters (body weight, waist circumference and body fat).
REVERSE-IT is being conducted following the positive results of the TOTUM-63 Phase II clinical study, published in July and September 2019. It was co-designed with the medical and regulatory teams of Nestlé Health Science, as part of the global strategic partnership for the development and marketing of TOTUM-63, signed by the two companies in February 2020. It will be conducted in more than 30 clinical investigation centers in France and abroad.
ABOUT TOTUM-63
TOTUM-63 is a unique and patented combination of 5 plant extracts, with high potential to target the physiopathological mechanisms of Type 2 Diabetes.
TOTUM-63 has already been proven safe and effective in healthy human volunteers during a Phase I/II clinical study. The results of the international randomized, placebo-controlled Phase II study showed that TOTUM-63 reduced fasting and 2-hour blood sugar levels, two risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes, in prediabetics compared to placebo. In these subjects, who also had abdominal obesity, TOTUM-63 significantly reduced body weight and waist circumference.
TOTUM-63 benefits from intellectual property granted in the main markets worldwide: Europe (covering 39 countries), the United States, Russia and national phases are underway in more than 20 countries including China, Japan, Brazil, Australia. The ability to produce TOTUM-63 industrially, in compliance to North American and European standards, has been validated. TOTUM-63 already has marketing authorizations related to its status in Europe.
In 2020, VALBIOTIS has signed a global and long-term partnership with Nestlé Health Science for the development and worldwide commercialization of TOTUM-63. This unique partnership in the field of Nutrition Health plans that TOTUM-63 will be put on the market by Nestlé Health Science at a global level, possibly before obtaining a health claim, depending on the areas. It will also provide funding for the latest development stages of TOTUM-63.

Graco QUANTM i230 Brings Electrification to High-Flow Fluid-Transfer Applications5.11.2026 22:16:00 CET | Press release
New electric 3-inch double-diaphragm pump helps paint, coatings and ceramics manufacturers increase throughput while reducing energy consumption by up to 80%. Graco Inc. is helping manufacturers electrify high-flow fluid-transfer applications with the global launch of the 3-inch QUANTM® i230, bringing efficient electric drive technology to demanding processes that have traditionally relied on pneumatic pumps. Paint, coatings and ceramics manufacturers depend on diaphragm pumps for their flexibility, reliability and ability to handle challenging materials. But pneumatic pumps also depend on compressed air — an energy-intensive plant resource whose available capacity can fluctuate as demand changes across a facility. The QUANTM i230 gives manufacturers another option for qualified high-flow applications. By combining familiar diaphragm pump capabilities with electric operation, the pump helps manufacturers move more material, reduce transfer bottlenecks and lower energy consumption by up
