Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The maximum study duration per patient is approximately 9 weeks (screening of 3 to 28 Days, treatment period of 2 days [Periods 1 and 2], washout period of 5 to 19 days [between treatment period], and end-of-study visit of 7 to 14 days after study drug administration in Period 2).
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Afrezza® Two-period, replicate single dose, euglycemic clamp study. There will be 2 treatment periods with a replicate administration of 1 dose of Afrezza TI (40U) in both periods. Each patient will be given a replicate administration of 1 dose level of Afrezza TI with washout duration between treatment periods (5-19 days between periods, ie, 7 to 21 days between dosing occasions). |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of PK parameter: area under the serum insulin concentration time curve from time 0 to 8H (INS-AUC0-8H) [8 hours]
- Assessment of PD parameter: area under the glucose infusion rate curve (GIR) necessary to maintain euglycemia during the euglycemic clamp over 8 hours [8 hours]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of PK parameter: maximum Afrezza insulin serum concentration (INS-Cmax) [8 hours]
- Assessment of PK parameter: time to INS-Cmax (INS-tmax) [8 hours]
- Assessment of PD parameter: maximum smoothed GIR (GIRmax) [8 hours]
- Assessment of PD parameter: time to GIRmax (GIR-Tmax) [8 hours]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion criteria :
-
Body weight between 50 and 95 kg, inclusive, body mass index between 18.5 and 29 kg/m², inclusive.
-
Fasting serum C-peptide <0.3 nmol/L.
-
Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤75 mmol/mol (≤9%).
-
Stable insulin regimen for at least 2 months prior to study (with respect to safety of the patient and scientific integrity of the study).
-
Certified as otherwise healthy for T1DM patient by assessment of medical history and physical examination (cardiovascular system, chest and lungs, thyroid, abdomen, nervous system, skin and mucosae, and musculoskeletal system), unless the Investigator considers any abnormality to be clinically irrelevant and not interfering with the conduct of the study (with respect to safety of the subject and scientific integrity of the study).
-
Normal vital signs after at least 10 minutes resting in supine position:
-
95 mmHg <systolic blood pressure (SBP) <150 mmHg.
-
45 mmHg <diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <95 mmHg.
-
50 bpm <heart rate (HR) <90 bpm.
-
Normal standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) after at least 10 minutes resting in supine position; 120 ms <PR <220 ms, QRS <120 ms, QTc ≤450 ms if male, ≤470 ms if female.
-
Laboratory parameters within the normal range (or defined screening threshold for the Investigator site), unless the Investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant for diabetes patients; however serum creatinine should be strictly below the upper laboratory norm; alkaline phosphatase, hepatic enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase), and total bilirubin (unless the patient has documented Gilbert syndrome) should not be above 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
-
Women of childbearing potential (less than 2 years postmenopausal or not surgically sterile for more than 3 months), must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine β-HCG pregnancy test at Day 1 in all treatment periods (TPs) and must use a highly effective method of birth control, which is defined as those which result in a low failure rate (ie, less than 1% per year) according to the Note for guidance on nonclinical safety studies for the conduct of human clinical trials for pharmaceuticals (CPMP/ICH/286/95, modifications). During the entire study female subjects of childbearing potential must use 2 independent methods of contraception, eg, diaphragm and spermicide-coated condom. The use of a condom and spermicidal creams is not sufficiently reliable. For postmenopausal women with presence of less than 2 years post menopausal, and not surgically sterile for more than 3 months, the hormonal status will be determined (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] >30 IU/L).
