Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel-arm trial to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of dasiglucagon relative to placebo and GlucaGen® when administered as a rescue therapy for severe hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treated with insulin

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

At least 40 children ≥6 years and <18 years of age with T1DM were planned to be randomized into the trial (2:1:1 for dasiglucagon:placebo:GlucaGen) and stratified by age intervals: 6 years to <12 years, and 12 years to <18 years; and by injection site (abdomen or thigh). A minimum of 16 patients were enrolled into each age group, including a minimum of 8 patients in each age group in the dasiglucagon treatment arm. In Germany only, a staggered approach was applied, whereby a positive safety assessment needed to be available for at least 10 patients in the age group of 12 years to <18 years who had completed the dosing visit in the overall trial before younger patients (6 to 11 years of age) were allowed to be enrolled.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Plasma Glucose Recovery [0-45 minutes after dosing]

      Plasma glucose recovery was defined as first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline during the hypoglycemic clamp procedure without administration of rescue intravenous (IV) glucose. Patients who received rescue IV glucose before 45 minutes and patients not recovering within 45 minutes after dosing were censored at 45 minutes. Time to plasma glucose recovery was summarized for each treatment group using Kaplan Meier (KM) estimates together with the 95% confidence interval. Note that the upper confidence limit for the placebo median was not estimable, but is set to 45 minutes (censored value) here.

Plasma glucose recovery was defined as the first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline without administration of rescue intravenous glucose.

    2. Plasma Glucose Changes From Baseline [0-30 minutes after dosing: assessed at 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after study drug injection]

Testing followed an a priori defined hierarchical inferential test order, proceeding until the first failure to reject the null hypothesis comparing dasiglucagon versus placebo.

    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Dasiglucagon 0.6 mg, Placebo
    Comments Change from baseline in plasma glucose at 30, 20, 15, and 10 minutes after investigational product injection was calculated using nominal sampling times and analyzed using an analysis of variance model with treatment, age group and injection site for each endpoint. Testing followed an a priori defined hierarchical inferential test order, proceeding until the first failure to reject the null hypothesis comparing dasiglucagon versus placebo.
    Type of Statistical Test Superiority
    Comments
    Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value <0.0001
    Comments The p-value was <0.0001 at all time points (10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes)
