About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Four Way Crossover Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety After Intramuscular (IM) Administration of Mayne Glucagon for Injection With Glucagen® (Novo Nordisk) in Healthy Volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic bioequivalence and safety of Hospira Glucagon for Injection and GlucaGen® in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Glucagon has been shown to be effective in the treatment of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar levels, in patients with diabetes. It primarily functions as a counter-regulatory hormone by opposing the actions of insulin to maintain blood glucose levels. A major problem for diabetic patients with hypoglycemia is the development of defective counter regulatory responses including reduced or absent glucagon responses to hypoglycemia. Mayne Glucagon for Injection has been developed as an alternative to currently marketed products.

Administration of exogenous glucagon i.e., not produced in the body, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of low blood sugar in patients with diabetes. Mayne has developed a product, Glucagon for Injection, which is an alternative to currently marketed products. The only difference is the source of the active ingredient. The formulation, routes of administration, dosage regimen and indications of Mayne Glucagon for Injection are identical to those currently registered for the marketed product.

A total of 28 healthy volunteers will be recruited into this study at one investigational site.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Glucagen and Mayne Glucagon in people with Hypoglycemia, run by Hospira, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 20 Mar 2017. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Area Under the Curve from Time 0 to the Last Time Point (AUC0-tlast) for 1 mg Dose Level (time frame: Pre-dose: 20, 10 and 5 min; Post-dose: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Mar 2017.
