About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Controlled Clinical Trial to Determine the Pulmonary Residence Time of Insulin and Fumaryl Diketopiperazine, Utilizing Bronchoalveolar Lavage, After Administration of Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder in Healthy Subjects

Lavage fluid (BAL) is inserted into a lung lobe using a flexible bronchoscope. The fluid is aspirated out to remove any remaining TI. It's performed twice at specific time points in 12 healthy volunteers. BAL fluid will be analyzed for insulin and FDKP.

Read the detailed description

Informed consent and eligibility occur at Screening. Dosing is at Visit 2. Blood glucose levels are monitored and adjusted using IV infusion of glucose. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is performed at 30 minutes and 6 hours for Cohort 1 and at 4 and 8 hours for Cohort 2, post TI dose. A series of blood samples are taken at specified timepoints. Cohort 3 will proceed with dosing if deemed necessary once analysis of BAL from Cohorts 1 \& 2 is performed. Visit 3 is the follow-up safety visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TI Inhalation PowderDrug

    1 60-U dose of TI Inhalation Powder before the bronchoscopy. Cohort 1 will undergo bronchoscopies at 30 minutes and again at 6 hours after the 60-U dose inhalation of TI Inhalation Powder. Cohort 2 bronchoscopies will occur at 4 hours and again at 8 hours after TI Inhalation Powder. The need to run and the timepoints for bronchoscopies for Cohort 3 will be determined based on the results from Cohort 1 and 2. All subjects will undergo 2 bronchoscopies at Visit 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TI Inhalation Powder in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Mannkind Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 21 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 17 Dec 2013. 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?

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?

Estimation of the amount of insulin in the lungs and amount of FDKP by analyzing BAL fluid, obtained by a flexible fiber optic bronchoscope at various time points after admin of TI Inhalation Powder. (time frame: 2 Months). 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 17 Dec 2013.
