About this study

Official title: A Trial Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Insulin Icodec in Chinese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This study is looking at the way insulin icodec stays and moves over time in the blood after injections in Chinese people with type 2 diabetes.

Participants will get insulin icodec once a week for 6 weeks. The medicine will be injected under the skin of the thigh. There will also be a run-in period that will last between 1 week and 8 weeks with daily doses of insulin degludec before start on insulin icodec.

Read more

The study will last for about 15 to 22 weeks. Participants will have about 17 visits with the study doctor including phone contact during your run-in period.

Participants will have blood samples taken at the clinic visits. Several samples of participants blood will be taken for up to 48 hours after getting the first and the last dose of insulin icodec.

Participants must be a Chinese person diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least 6 months and be on basal insulin treatment for at least 2 months before participating in the study.

Women: Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the serum insulin icodec concentration-time curve during one dosing interval at steady state

    pmol*h/L

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Area under the serum insulin icodec concentration-time curve during one dosing interval at steady state divided by dose

    (pmol*h/L)/(U/kg)

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)

  2. Maximum observed serum insulin icodec concentration after the last dose

    pmol/L

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)

  3. Maximum observed serum insulin icodec concentration after the last dose divided by dose

    (pmol/L)/(U/kg)

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)

  4. Time to maximum observed serum insulin icodec concentration after the last dose

    hours

    Measured: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)

  5. Terminal half-life for insulin icodec at steady state

    hours

    Measured: Terminal part of the serum insulin icodec concentration-time curve where the curve is well approximated by a straight line on logarithmic scale after last trial product administration (Day 36)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing insulin icodec in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S 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 8 inclusion and 4 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 17 May 2023. 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 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?

Area under the serum insulin icodec concentration-time curve during one dosing interval at steady state (time frame: From 0 to 168 hours after trial product administration (Day 36)). 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 17 May 2023.
