Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Body weight between 50 and 95 kg, inclusive, body mass index between 18.5 and 29 kg/m², inclusive.
  • Fasting serum C-peptide <0.3 nmol/L.
  • Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤75 mmol/mol (≤9%).
  • Stable insulin regimen for at least 2 months prior to study (with respect to safety of the patient and scientific integrity of the study).
  • Certified as otherwise healthy for T1DM patient by assessment of medical history and physical examination (cardiovascular system, chest and lungs, thyroid, abdomen, nervous system, skin and mucosae, and musculoskeletal system), unless the Investigator considers any abnormality to be clinically irrelevant and not interfering with the conduct of the study (with respect to safety of the subject and scientific integrity of the study).
  • Normal vital signs after at least 10 minutes resting in supine position:
Show all 17Show fewer
  • 95 mmHg <systolic blood pressure (SBP) <150 mmHg.
  • 45 mmHg <diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <95 mmHg.
  • 50 bpm <heart rate (HR) <90 bpm.
  • Normal standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) after at least 10 minutes resting in supine position; 120 ms <PR <220 ms, QRS <120 ms, QTc ≤450 ms if male, ≤470 ms if female.
  • Laboratory parameters within the normal range (or defined screening threshold for the Investigator site), unless the Investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant for diabetes patients; however serum creatinine should be strictly below the upper laboratory norm; alkaline phosphatase, hepatic enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase), and total bilirubin (unless the patient has documented Gilbert syndrome) should not be above 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • Women of childbearing potential (less than 2 years postmenopausal or not surgically sterile for more than 3 months), must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine β-HCG pregnancy test at Day 1 in all treatment periods (TPs) and must use a highly effective method of birth control, which is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (ie, less than 1% per year) according to the Note for guidance on nonclinical safety studies for the conduct of human clinical trials for pharmaceuticals (CPMP/ICH/286/95, modifications). During the entire study female subjects of childbearing potential must use 2 independent methods of contraception, eg, diaphragm and spermicide-coated condom. The use of a condom and spermicidal creams is not sufficiently reliable. For postmenopausal women with presence of less than 2 years post menopausal, and not surgically sterile for more than 3 months, the hormonal status will be determined (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] >30 IU/L).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Technosphere Insulin SAR439065 Afrezza® in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Mannkind Corporation at 1 site in Germany.

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 25 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 15 Mar 2017. 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 Germany. 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?

Assessment of PK parameter: area under the serum insulin concentration time curve from time 0 to 8H (INS-AUC0-8H) (time frame: 8 hours). The study lists 2 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 15 Mar 2017.
