Better Therapeutics, Inc. (“Better Therapeutics”; NASDAQ: BTTX), a prescription digital therapeutics (PDT) company developing cognitive behavioral therapy to address root causes of cardiometabolic diseases, today provided an update on recent progress.

“We’ve made excellent progress since debuting as a public company,” said Kevin Appelbaum, co-founder and chief executive officer of Better Therapeutics. “Our clinical development pipeline across multiple product candidates is progressing as planned. Our potentially pivotal study of BT-001, a PDT for treating type 2 diabetes, is now fully enrolled and primary endpoint data is expected later this quarter. Mass General Brigham has joined our research effort to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and impact on health care utilization and medication use in real-world clinical practice alongside CPC and Catalyst, and all three sites will be enrolling patients this quarter. We strengthened our team with key additions across all functions. We also recognize we are in the very early stages of creating a new modality for treating diseases caused by behaviors using regulated and prescribed software instead of molecules, and are pleased to have multiple analysts doing independent research on our company in order to educate investors about the PDT opportunity in general, and Better Therapeutics in particular.”

The Better Therapeutics platform blends clinical, behavioral and psychological inputs into a series of cognitive behavioral therapy lessons and skill-building modules designed to shift neural pathways of the brain and treat the disease at its source through behavior change. If the FDA provides marketing authorization, it is anticipated that primary care providers will prescribe, and insurers will reimburse, Better Therapeutics’ PDTs much like they would a traditional medication.

Clinical data on the efficacy and safety of Better Therapeutics developmental product candidates has been published in multiple peer-review journals including Journal of the Endocrine Society, JMIR Cardio, JMIR Diabetes and more.
