About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Randomized, Parallel Safety Study To Evaluate The Immunogenicity Of A Novel Glucagon Formulation Compared To Commercially Available Glucagon Administered By Intramuscular Injection In Adults With Type 1 OR Type 2 Diabetes

This study provides information on immunogenicity of Nasal Glucagon (AMG504-1) with regards to the potential development of treatment-emergent anti-glucagon antibodies.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single center, randomized, laboratory-blinded, three periods, parallel design study.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of repeated single doses of glucagon following nasal and intramuscular (IM) administration in adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D). The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of glucagon following NG and IM administration in adults with T1D or T2D.

A single dose of glucagon was administered in the morning after a 10-hour overnight fast, either by intranasal or intramuscular route, on 3 occasions. Each drug administration was separated by at least seven calendar days. Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio (NG:IMG) to receive NG or IMG at each of the 3 periods.

Blood samples were collected for measurement of anti-glucagon antibodies at screening visit, prior to dosing at Period 3, and at the post-study visit (approximately 4 weeks after the last glucagon administration).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA)

    Glucagon anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were assessed at baseline through study completion. Percentage of participants (Pts) with ADA=(number of Pts with treatment-emergent ADA/number of Pts assessed)*100. Treatment-Emergent ADA includes treatment-induced ADA and treatment boosted ADA. Treatment-induced is defined as participants with 'Not Detected' ADA at baseline (drug-naive) and at least one post-baseline ADA 'Detected' sample with a corresponding titer that is one 2-fold dilution higher than the MRD (minimal required dilution) of the assay. For the nasal glucagon Tier 1-3 ADA screening assay, the MRD is 1:20. Treatment-boosted is defined as Patient with ADA 'Detected' at baseline (drug-naive) and at least one post-baseline ADA 'Detected' sample with a corresponding titer that is at least (>or=) 4-fold higher than the baseline titer.

    Measured: Baseline through study completion (up to 10 weeks)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Neutralizing Antibodies

    Measured: Baseline through study completion (up to 10 weeks)

  3. Number of Participants With At Least One Adverse Event

    Safety parameters assessed included the occurrence of adverse events, the measurement of clinical laboratory parameters; vital signs, ECGs, physical examination, blood glucose, and examination of the injection site (following the IM administration). An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered the investigational product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment

    A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

    Measured: First dose of study drug through the post-study completion (up to 10 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Nasal Glucagon (NG) and Glucagon IM in people with Drug-specific Antibodies and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Canada.

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 17 inclusion and 20 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 6 Sep 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 Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 6 Sep 2019). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) (time frame: Baseline through study completion (up to 10 weeks)). 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 6 Sep 2019.
