About this study

Official title: Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Properties of Insulin Aspart: Dose - Ranging vs. Human Soluble Insulin

The metabolic effect of three different doses of insulin aspart and human insulin are investigated with the euglycaemic glucose clamp technique.

Read the detailed description

Double-blind, randomized, 6-period cross-over study in 16 healthy subjects. Each patient participates in 6 euglycemic glucose clamp experiments each.

The time interval between the study days is 2 to 28 days. At the clamp visits, subjects are connected to a Biostator (MTB Medizintechnik, Ulm, Germany) and receive an intravenous human insulin infusion (rate of 0.15 mU/kg/min) over the duration of each experiment to prevent a rise in endogenous insulin secretion. After a baseline period of 2 h the trial drug (6, 12, or 24 U of either Insulin Aspart or regular human insulin in random order) are administered s.c. with a syringe into the abdominal wall. Glucose infusion rates (GIR) necessary to keep blood glucose concentrations close to the clamp level of 90 mg/dl (5 mmol/l) are administered and recorded by the Biostator every minute for a period of 12 h post-dosing. Blood samples are drawn at regular intervals for the analysis of C-peptide and (depending on the trial drug administered) serum insulin or serum Insulin Aspart concentrations (measured with specific ELISAs).

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC GIR 360-720 min

    Measured: at each dosing (6 times during the trial)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PK endpoints such as C max/ins, t max/ins, AUC ins 0-120 min, AUC ins 360-720 min, AUC ins 0-720 min

    Measured: at each dosing visit (6 times during the study)

  2. PD endpoints like GIR max, t max/GIR, AUC GIR 0-120 min, AUC GIR 0-720 min, t >2/GIR, early and late t 50%/GIR

    Measured: at each dosing visit (6 times during the study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing insulin aspart and human regular insulin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Profil Institut für Stoffwechselforschung GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 11 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 9 Aug 2007. 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 Germany. 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?

AUC GIR 360-720 min (time frame: at each dosing (6 times during the trial)). 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 9 Aug 2007.
