About this study

Official title: Intranasal Insulin and Its Effect on Postprandial Glucose Metabolism in Comparison to Subcutaneous Insulin

The purpose of this study is to determine if glucose peaks higher and earlier after a meal when a patient is given intranasal insulin instead of conventional insulin treatment.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia which when untreated is associated with microvascular disease. Most people with type 1 diabetes are treated with a combination of long-acting (basal) insulin and short-acting (prandial) insulin administered prior to meals. This necessitates multiple daily injections (>3) which is a significant barrier to long-term compliance and treatment. Intranasal administration of insulin has been developed in an effort to overcome the need for insulin injection prior to meals. The pharmacokinetic properties conferred to insulin by this route of administration suggest that postprandial glucose disposal may be stimulated leading to lower glucose concentrations in comparison to dosing via other routes. We propose to study postprandial glucose turnover in healthy volunteers with Type 1 diabetes to determine the effect of intranasal insulin on glucose disposal. We wish to do so in order to develop a greater understanding of how the different bioavailability timing of intranasal insulin might alter postprandial glucose disposal and suppression of endogenous glucose production. In order to address these questions we will address specific aims:

  • Peak postprandial glucose disposal is higher and occurs earlier, in the presence of intranasal insulin administration than it is in more conventional forms of insulin dosing.
  • Peak suppression of endogenous glucose production is greater and occurs earlier, in the presence of intranasal insulin administration than it is in more conventional forms of insulin dosing.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is to determine whether intranasal administration of Nasulin™ will stimulate glucose disposal and suppress endogenous glucose production.

    Measured: Blood will be measured at -30, -20, -10, 0, 2, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330 and 360 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing aspart and Nasulin™ in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by CPEX Pharmaceuticals Inc..

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The primary endpoint is to determine whether intranasal administration of Nasulin™ will stimulate glucose disposal and suppress endogenous glucose production. (time frame: Blood will be measured at -30, -20, -10, 0, 2, 6, 8, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330 and 360 minutes). 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 15 Feb 2016.
