About this study

Needle-free jet injector provides an alternative for patients with diabetes treated by insulin. This study aimed at evaluating pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) profiles of lispro administered by jet injector and conventional pen.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover study. Eighteen healthy volunteers will be recruited. Lispro (0.2 units/kg) will be administered by jet injector or by conventional pen and a seven-hour euglycemic clamp test will be performed. PK-PD profiles of lispro will be calculated.

Conditions
Healthy
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Needle-free jet injection with insulin lisproDevice

    Subjects injected by jet injectors which deliver insulin lispro

  • Conventional pen injection with insulin lisproDevice

    Subjects injected by conventional insulin pens which deliver insulin lispro

Study groups in NCT02443714
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Needle-free jet injectionExperimentalJet injectors deliver insulin at a high velocity (typically.100 m/s) across the skin in the subcutaneous tissue and may dispense the insulin over a larger area than insulin injected with a syringe.
Receives: Device: Needle-free jet injection with insulin lispro
Conventional penExperimentalConventional insulin administration with insulin pens.
Receives: Device: Conventional pen injection with insulin lispro

What is being measured

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

  1. Early insulin exposure

    Measured: The area under the curve (AUC) of insulin from 0 to 30min (AUCins, 0-30min)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Pharmacodynamics

    Measured: AUC of GIR for 0-30 min, 30-60 min, 60-90 min, 90-120 min, 0-420 min,respectively

  2. Pharmacodynamics

    Measured: 50% glucose clearance time (GIR- TAUC50%)

  3. Pharmacodynamics

    Measured: Time to maximum GIR (GIR-Tmax)

  4. Pharmacodynamics

    Measured: Maximum GIR (GIRmax)

  5. Pharmacokinetics

    Measured: AUC of insulin concentration for 30-60 min, 60-90 min, 90-120 min, 0-420 min,respectively

  6. Pharmacokinetics

    Measured: The time to peak plasma insulin concentrations (Ins-Tmax)

  7. Pharmacokinetics

    Measured: The maximal insulin levels (Ins-Cmax)

  8. Pharmacokinetics

    Measured: 50% insulin absorption time (Ins-TAUC50%)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Needle-free jet injection with insulin lispro and Conventional pen injection with insulin lispro in people with Healthy, run by Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 28 Sep 2015. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Early insulin exposure (time frame: The area under the curve (AUC) of insulin from 0 to 30min (AUCins, 0-30min)). 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 NCT02443714, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 Sep 2015.
