About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Double-Blind Crossover Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Safety Study of Subcutaneously Administered Humalog® (Insulin Lispro Injection; Rapid-Acting Insulin) With and Without Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) Versus Subcutaneously Administered Humulin R® (Regular Insulin Injection) With and Without rHuPH20

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Humalog (insulin lispro) or Humulin-R (recombinant human insulin) when administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 20 units (U) with or without coadministration of recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20).

The study hypothesizes that the time required to reach maximum insulin concentration (tmax) when insulin is administered with rHuPH20 will be comparable or shorter than the time required without rHuPH20.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (Tmax)

    Time to maximum serum insulin concentration (tmax) values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from 3 milliliter (mL) blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  2. Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (Cmax)

    Maximum serum insulin concentration (Cmax) values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from 3 milliliter (mL) blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  3. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time Required to Reach Endogenous Plasma Glucose Levels (AUC[0-t'])

    Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the time required to reach endogenous plasma glucose levels (AUC[0-t']) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from 3 milliliter (mL) blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  4. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (Tmax) for Serum Insulin With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) (AUC[0-tmaxPH20])

    Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) for serum insulin (Humalog or Humulin-R) with recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) (AUC[0-tmaxPH20]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R and with rHuPH20 were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment and every 3 min from min 0 through 48 for Stage 1 and, and every 3 min from min 0 through 68 for Stage 2 during the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 48 minutes postdose during Stage 1, or up to 68 minutes postdose during Stage 2

  5. Relative Bioavailability (Area Under the Curve [AUC] for Insulin + Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase [rHuPH20] / AUC for Insulin Alone)

    Relative bioavailability was determined by dividing the baseline-corrected geometric mean of the area under the curve (AUC) for insulin (ins) (Humalog or Humulin-R) with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) by the baseline-corrected geometric mean of the AUC for insulin alone (AUC[insulin+rHuPH20]/AUC[insulin]).

    Bioavailability values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R and rHuPH20 were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Time to Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate (tGIR[Max])

    Time to maximal effect for glucose infusion rate (tGIR[max]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained every 3 minutes during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  2. Time to Early Half-Maximal Effect for Glucose Infusion Rate (tGIR[early50%])

    Time to early half-maximal effect for glucose infusion rate (tGIR[early50%]) for participants who were randomized to Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  3. Time to Late Half-Maximal Effect for Glucose Infusion Rate (tGIR[late50%])

    Time to late half-maximal effect for glucose infusion rate (tGIR[late50%]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Because the study was only 360 minutes in duration, there was not sufficient time for regular human insulin to show an effect and therefore tGIR(late50%) could not be calculated for participants receiving Humulin-R alone.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  4. Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR[Max])

    Maximum glucose infusion rate (GIR[max]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  5. Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Curve From 0 to 60 Minutes After Injection (AUC[GIR{0-60}])

    The area under the curve for the glucose infusion rate from minutes (min) 0 to 60 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-60}]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.

Means were calculated using analysis of variance with fixed of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 60 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  6. Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Curve From 0 to 120 Minutes After Injection (AUC[GIR{0-120}])

    The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from minutes 0 to 120 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-120}]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, and every 15 min from min 60 through 120 during the clamp. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with fixed effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 120 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

Samples were taken 10 and 1 min prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, and every 15 min from min 60 through 180 during the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose and up to 180 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  8. Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Curve From 0 to 240 Minutes After Injection (AUC[GIR{0-240}])

    The area the glucose infusion rate curve from minutes (min) 0 to 240 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-240}]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 min prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 to 240 during the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

    Measured: Predose up to 240 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

  9. Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Curve From 0 to 360 Minutes After Injection (AUC[GIR{0-360}])

    The area under glucose infusion rate curve from minutes (min) 0 to 360 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-360}]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (Tmax) (time frame: Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00705536, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2019.
