About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Single-dose, 2-Treatment, 2-Period, 2-Sequence Crossover Bioequivalence Study Comparing Two Formulations of Insulin Glulisine (Insulin Glulisine 300 Units/mL Versus Insulin Glulisine 100 Units/mL Marketed as Apidra® 100 Units/mL) Using the Euglycemic Clamp Technique, in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate bioequivalence between insulin glulisine given as 300 Units/mL test formulation and insulin glulisine 100 Units/mL reference formulation after a single subcutaneous (SC) dose.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles and further pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of insulin glulisine U300 in comparison to insulin glulisine U100 after a single SC dose.
  • To assess safety and tolerability of the test and the reference formulation of insulin glulisine.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Insulin glulisine (U300) - Test formulationExperimentalInsulin glulisine (U300) will be given as a single subcutaneous (SC) dose on Day 1 of each period under fasting conditions according to the random list and assigned sequence. Glucose, insulin aspart (IV) and heparin will be used for clamp procedure. NPH insulin (if necessary) and insulin aspart (SC) will be handed out at screening to change insulin regimen and glucagon at Day 1 to treat cases of severe hypoglycemia.

Insulin glulisine - Reference formulationActive comparatorInsulin glulisine (U100) will be given as a single SC dose on Day 1 of each period under fasting conditions according to the random list and assigned sequence. Glucose, insulin aspart (IV) and heparin will be used for clamp procedure. NPH insulin (if necessary) and insulin aspart (SC) will be handed out at screening to change insulin regimen and glucagon at Day 1 to treat cases of severe hypoglycemia.

  2. Assessment of PK parameter: area under the concentration time curve

    Measured: 10 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)

    Measured: 10 hours

  2. Assessment of PK parameter: terminal half-life (INS-t1/2z)

    Measured: 10 hours

  3. Assessment of PD parameter: area under the body weight standardized glucose infusion rate (GIR) versus time curve from 0 to 10 hours (GIR-AUC0-10)

    Measured: 10 hours

  4. Assessment of PD parameter: maximum smoothed body weight standardized GIR (GIRmax)

    Measured: 10 hours

  5. Assessment of PD parameter: time to GIRmax (GIR-tmax)

    Measured: 10 hours

  6. Duration of blood glucose control under clamp conditions - time

    Measured: 10 hours

  7. Number of patients with treatment emergent adverse events

    Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Insulin glulisine (U300), Insulin glulisine and Insulin aspart in people with Type1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sanofi 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 7 inclusion and 9 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 25 Apr 2022. 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: maximum observed insulin concentration (time frame: 10 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 25 Apr 2022.
