Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess how glucagon administered nasally, using a nasal dosing delivery device, works in children and adolescents compared with commercially-available glucagon given by injection. In addition, the safety and tolerability of glucagon given nasally was evaluated.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Nasal Glucagon
  • Drug: Intramuscular Glucagon
Phase 2/Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study was conducted to permit determination of appropriate dose level(s) for pediatric use based on the safety observations and results of glucagon and glucose assays.

Each participant 12 to less than 17 years of age underwent two visits in random order and received glucagon nasal powder once and commercially available glucagon (GlucaGen, Novo Nordisk) by intramuscular (IM) injection once. Participants 4 to less than 12 years were randomly assigned to have either 1 visit with commercially available glucagon (GlucaGen, Novo Nordisk) by IM injection OR to have 2 visits with a 2.0 milligram (mg) dose of glucagon nasal powder administered during one visit and a 3.0 mg dose of glucagon nasal powder administered during the other visit. For those randomized to complete two research dosing visits, the dose of glucagon nasal powder given during each visit was masked to the participant and study personnel.

Glucagon was administered after glucose was lowered to <80 mg/dL using insulin if necessary on the dosing day. Participants were treated with either glucagon given nasally (either 2.0 mg or 3.0 mg for participants 4 to less than 12 years of age or 3.0 mg for those 12 to less than 17 years of age) or by intramuscular (IM) injection (1 mg for those 55 pounds [lbs] or more and 0.5 mg for those weighing less than 55 lbs) in the quadriceps muscle of the leg.

Blood glucose levels and adverse events were carefully monitored for 90 minutes post-dosing. After a wash-out period of 7 days or more, participants 12 to less than 17 years of age returned to the clinic and the procedure was repeated with each participant crossed over to the other treatment. Participants 4 to less than 12 years assigned to have 2 dosing visits returned to clinic for repeated procedures and received alternate dose of nasal glucagon (NG). Participants 4 to less than 12 years assigned to a single dosing visit did not return for a second dosing visit.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Nasal Glucagon (NG)

Nasal glucagon (NG) doses of 2.0 mg and 3.0 mg for participants 4 to less than 12 years of age and 3.0 mg for those 12 to less than 17 years of age were administered in a nostril with a prefilled delivery device that delivered a single dose upon activation.

Drug: Nasal Glucagon
Other Names:
  • AMG504-1
  • LY900018
  • Active Comparator: Intramuscular (IM) Glucagon

    Participants who weighed at least 25 kilograms (kg)/55 pounds (lbs) were dosed 1 mg of IM glucagon; participants who weighed less than 25 kg/55 lbs, IM glucagon dosed with 0.5 mg

    Drug: Intramuscular Glucagon
    Other Names:
  • GlucaGen HypoKit
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Maximum Change From Baseline Concentration (Cmax) of Glucagon [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    2. Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    3. Area Under the Curve (AUC0-1.5) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    4. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    5. Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    6. Area Under the Effect Concentration Time Curve (AUEC0-1.5) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose From Time Zero up to 90 Minutes [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Nasal and Non-nasal Effects/Symptoms [Pre-dose;15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration]

      Symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion and/or itching, sneezing, watery and/or itchy eyes, redness of eyes, and itching of ears and/or throat were assessed prior to administering glucagon and at 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following administration of glucagon. This was done via the "Nasal Non-nasal Score Questionnaire". Each of the 9 symptoms is assigned an integer value from 0 to 3; higher values indicate more severe symptoms (a score of 0 indicates no symptoms). The reported results indicate the cohort median out of a possible maximum value of 27 (summing all 9 questions for each participant and reporting the median/IQR across participants).

    2. Number of Participants Achieving at Least a 25 mg/dL Rise in Blood Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration]

    3. Time to Achieving ≥25 mg/dL Rise in Plasma Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes [Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration]

      Time (in minutes) when all participants experienced a rise in glucose >=25mg/dL. This is an absolute number and is not a calculated statistic. There is no distribution per cohort.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With >= 25 mg/dL Rise in Plasma Glucose Within 30 Minutes [Pre-dose; 5, 10,15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration]

    7. Secondary Outcome
    Title Nasal and Non-nasal Effects/Symptoms
    Description Symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion and/or itching, sneezing, watery and/or itchy eyes, redness of eyes, and itching of ears and/or throat were assessed prior to administering glucagon and at 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following administration of glucagon. This was done via the "Nasal Non-nasal Score Questionnaire". Each of the 9 symptoms is assigned an integer value from 0 to 3; higher values indicate more severe symptoms (a score of 0 indicates no symptoms). The reported results indicate the cohort median out of a possible maximum value of 27 (summing all 9 questions for each participant and reporting the median/IQR across participants).
