Why Better Therapeutics (BTTX) Shares Are Soaring Today - Better Therapeutics (OTC:BTTX)

Better Therapeutics Inc BTTX completed the pivotal clinical trial for BT-001, an investigational prescription digital therapeutic designed to use nutritional cognitive behavioral therapy (nCBT) to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D).
The company plans to submit a de novo classification request to the FDA in Q3 of 2022.
If approved, BT-001 would become the first prescription digital therapeutic for the treatment of T2D.
This data follows the announcement in March that the trial had met its primary endpoint.
The data showed sustained and improved A1c (blood sugar) levels in patients using BT-001, with average absolute A1c reduction improving from 0.3% at day 90 to 0.4% at day 180.
The difference in A1c levels after 180 days of treatment between BT-001 treated patients, and Standard of Care (SOC) control group patients receiving standard of care remained statistically significant.
Half of the patients using BT-001 experienced clinically meaningful A1c reductions with a mean reduction of 1.3% in this subgroup at 180 days.
Results indicated that patients who did not use BT-001 were more likely to be placed on additional medications to improve A1c control.
BT-001 demonstrated reassuring safety, with significantly fewer adverse events than the SOC control group.
Price Action: BTTX shares are up 54.90% at $2.37 during the premarket session on the last check Thursday.
