About this study
The purpose of this study was to assess how glucagon administered nasally, using a nasal dosing delivery device, works in children and adolescents compared with commercially-available glucagon given by injection. In addition, the safety and tolerability of glucagon given nasally was evaluated.
Read the detailed description
This study was conducted to permit determination of appropriate dose level(s) for pediatric use based on the safety observations and results of glucagon and glucose assays.
Each participant 12 to less than 17 years of age underwent two visits in random order and received glucagon nasal powder once and commercially available glucagon (GlucaGen, Novo Nordisk) by intramuscular (IM) injection once. Participants 4 to less than 12 years were randomly assigned to have either 1 visit with commercially available glucagon (GlucaGen, Novo Nordisk) by IM injection OR to have 2 visits with a 2.0 milligram (mg) dose of glucagon nasal powder administered during one visit and a 3.0 mg dose of glucagon nasal powder administered during the other visit. For those randomized to complete two research dosing visits, the dose of glucagon nasal powder given during each visit was masked to the participant and study personnel.
Glucagon was administered after glucose was lowered to <80 mg/dL using insulin if necessary on the dosing day. Participants were treated with either glucagon given nasally (either 2.0 mg or 3.0 mg for participants 4 to less than 12 years of age or 3.0 mg for those 12 to less than 17 years of age) or by intramuscular (IM) injection (1 mg for those 55 pounds [lbs] or more and 0.5 mg for those weighing less than 55 lbs) in the quadriceps muscle of the leg.
Blood glucose levels and adverse events were carefully monitored for 90 minutes post-dosing. After a wash-out period of 7 days or more, participants 12 to less than 17 years of age returned to the clinic and the procedure was repeated with each participant crossed over to the other treatment. Participants 4 to less than 12 years assigned to have 2 dosing visits returned to clinic for repeated procedures and received alternate dose of nasal glucagon (NG). Participants 4 to less than 12 years assigned to a single dosing visit did not return for a second dosing visit.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Maximum Change From Baseline Concentration (Cmax) of Glucagon
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Area Under the Curve (AUC0-1.5) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Area Under the Effect Concentration Time Curve (AUEC0-1.5) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose From Time Zero up to 90 Minutes
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Secondary outcomes (3)
Nasal and Non-nasal Effects/Symptoms
Symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion and/or itching, sneezing, watery and/or itchy eyes, redness of eyes, and itching of ears and/or throat were assessed prior to administering glucagon and at 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following administration of glucagon. This was done via the "Nasal Non-nasal Score Questionnaire". Each of the 9 symptoms is assigned an integer value from 0 to 3; higher values indicate more severe symptoms (a score of 0 indicates no symptoms). The reported results indicate the cohort median out of a possible maximum value of 27 (summing all 9 questions for each participant and reporting the median/IQR across participants).
Measured: Pre-dose;15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration
Number of Participants Achieving at Least a 25 mg/dL Rise in Blood Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration
Time to Achieving ≥25 mg/dL Rise in Plasma Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes
Time (in minutes) when all participants experienced a rise in glucose >=25mg/dL. This is an absolute number and is not a calculated statistic. There is no distribution per cohort.
Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Nasal Glucagon and Intramuscular Glucagon in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 7 sites 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 29 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites 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 combined 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.
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 Mar 2017). 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?
Maximum Change From Baseline Concentration (Cmax) of Glucagon (time frame: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration). The study lists 6 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 NCT01997411, 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 29 Aug 2018.
