What is being measured

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

  1. GIRmax

    PD endpoint: The maximum glucose infusion rate

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  2. TGIRmax

    PD endpoint: The time to maximum observed glucose infusion rate

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  3. AUCGIR 0-11h

    PD endpoint: The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from 0 to 11 hours

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  4. AUCGIR0-∞

    PD endpoint: The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from 0 to infinity

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cmax

    PK endpoint: The maximum observed insulin concentration

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  2. Tmax

    PK endpoint: The time to maximum observed insulin concentration

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  3. AUCIns0-11h

    PK endpoint: The area under the insulin concentration curve from 0 to 11 hours

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

  4. AUCIns0-∞

    PK endpoint: The area under the insulin concentration-time curve from 0 hours to infinity

    Measured: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Human insulin enteric coated capsules in dose 32mg and Human Insulin Injection in dose 5IU in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yifei Zhang, MD, PHD (+86-13524640378, feifei-a@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

GIRmax (time frame: 0-11 hours (hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp)). The study lists 4 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 3 Apr 2025.
