Drug manufacturer Novo Nordisk has applied to the U.S. Federal Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for approval of liraglutide, a human GLP-1 analog that is taken once daily for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
The company’s applications are based on a study of 6,500 type 2s, 4,200 of whom received liraglutide as a diet and exercise adjunct. Some of the drug’s recipients used it in combination with other medications used to treat diabetes, while others received it as a monotherapy

"Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its receptor (IGF-IR) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of many human cancers, including those of hematopoietic lineage. We investigated the therapeutic potential of the novel IGF-IR tyrosine kinase activity inhibitor, NVP-AEW541, on human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. NVP-AEW541 was tested on a HL60 cell subclone, which is dependent on autocrine secretion of IGF-I for survival and drug resistance, as well as primary drug resistant leukemia cells."
