Eyeing GLP-1 opportunity, Click buys assets of Better Therapeutics

Digital therapeutics company Click Therapeutics announced Wednesday it will acquire the assets of Better Therapeutics, developer of a software-based treatment for diabetes. Click, which did not disclose how much it is paying for the assets, hopes to adapt Better’s tech for use alongside GLP-1 medications.

Better Therapeutics announced in March that it was delisting from the Nasdaq stock exchange and shutting down operations as it sought strategic alternatives. The company had been, since last year, searching for ways to stay afloat as its cash reserves dwindled.

Last, year, Better received Food and Drug Administration clearance for AspyreRx, a prescription app that delivers cognitive behavioral therapy and had been shown to reduce A1c levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Still, the company has been unable to ramp up significant commercial traction. Better also had a pipeline of other products targeting cardiometabolic conditions, and had made early claims about the benefits of AspyreRx in people taking GLP-1s for diabetes management.
