What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Success During Controlled Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia

    Treatment success is defined as an increase in plasma glucose to greater than or equal to (≥) 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or an increase of ≥20 mg/dL from plasma glucose nadir, without receiving additional actions to increase the plasma glucose concentration. Nadir is defined as the minimum plasma glucose concentration at the time of or within 10 minutes following glucagon administration.

    Measured: Pre-dose up to 30 minutes post each glucagon administration

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pharmacodynamics (PD): Change From Baseline in Maximal Blood Glucose (BGmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration

  2. PD: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose

    Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration

  3. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Tlast (AUC[0-tlast]) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after glucagon administration

  4. PK: Maximum Change From Baseline Concentration (Cmax) of Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after glucagon administration

  5. PK: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after glucagon administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nasal Glucagon and Intramuscular Glucagon in people with Hypoglycemia and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 23 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 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 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 Achieving Treatment Success During Controlled Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia (time frame: Pre-dose up to 30 minutes post each glucagon administration). 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 NCT03339453, which also lists 2 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 23 Sep 2019.
