Hamilton, New Jersey — November 5, 2011 – The American Diabetes Association is honoring Integrium Clinical Research
at its 16th annual gala on November 5 at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey.
The gala not only recognizes leaders and pioneering researchers in diabetes but also aims to raise funds needed
to expand and continue outreach programs in New Jersey.
Integrium is a contract research organization (CRO) with a therapeutic focus on cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
Executive Director of the American Diabetes Association in New Jersey, Mathieu N. Nelessen says Integrium earned
this honor for its successful efforts to speed the development of new and more effective drug treatment for diabetes.
Integrium has conducted 18 clinical trials of treatment for diabetes at 557 study sites.
In addition to trials targeting diabetes, Integrium has conducted more than 100 cardiovascular and renal disease trials,
which have an impact on diabetes care since diabetes is a leading cause of kidney failure and more than two-thirds
of people with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke.
Integrium founder Dr. David H. G. Smith observes that the diabetes epidemic is not abating.
“A staggering 366 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. One in ten American adults has diabetes
and that number may triple in the coming decades. The disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S.
More than half a million people in New Jersey have been diagnosed with diabetes and an estimated 200,000 have diabetes
but have not yet been diagnosed.”
