About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating Pharmacokinetics and Postprandial Glycemic Response of Subcutaneously Injected Humalog and Humulin R With/Without Co-Injected Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase Following Liquid Meal in Type1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Humalog and Humulin-R (recombinant human insulin) are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) is approved by the FDA for use as an aid in the absorption and dispersion of other injectable drugs. In this study, rHuPH20 will be co-administered with both Humalog and Humulin-R in order to determine if it improves the absorption of these insulins to more closely mimic the body's natural increase in insulin in response to a meal.

Read the detailed description

Participants received all 4 interventions in the same order.

Dose-finding visits were conducted to identify the appropriate dose of Humalog and Humulin-R. For each Humalog dose-finding visit, a total of 24 U of rHuPH20 was injected SC per unit of Humalog, corresponding to a mass concentration of 18.2 micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) rHuPH20 (at final concentration of 91 U/mL of Humalog). For each Humulin-R dose-finding visit, a total of 24 U of rHuPH20 was injected SC per unit of Humulin-R, corresponding to a mass concentration of 20.0 μg/mL rHuPH20 (at final concentration of 100 U/mL of Humulin-R).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
First Humalog+PH20, then Humalog, Humulin-R+PH20, Humulin-RExperimentalHumalog + Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) (Intervention 1): 24 units (U) of rHuPH20 per unit of Humalog, injected subcutaneously (SC), for up to 3 visits until an appropriate dose was identified. Humalog alone (Intervention 2): a single SC injection of the appropriate identified dose of Humalog, delivered before a liquid meal. Humulin-R + rHuPH20 (Intervention 3): 24 U of rHuPH20 per unit of Humulin-R, injected SC, for up to 2 visits until an appropriate dose was identified. Humulin-R alone (Intervention 4): a single SC injection of the appropriate identified dose of Humulin-R, delivered before a liquid meal. Appropriate dose of either Humalog or Humulin-R was that at which blood glucose following a liquid meal was <160 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for more than 30 minutes during the first 4 hours after injection and never fell below 60 mg/dL. All dose finding visits and interventions were separated by 3-10 days.
Receives: Drug: Humalog; Drug: Humulin-R; Drug: Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20); Other: Liquid meal

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Insulin Concentration-time Curve for the First Hour (AUC0-60)

    AUC was derived as the area under the serum insulin concentration profile from 0 to time "t." Samples were taken 30, 20, and 10 minutes (mins) prior to treatment; every 3 mins from mins 0 through 15; and at 20, 30, 45, and 60 mins postdose.

    Measured: Predose up to 60 minutes postdose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax was determined as the maximum of all valid serum insulin concentration measurements for each measurement series. Samples were taken 30, 20, and 10 minutes (mins) prior to treatment; every 3 mins from mins 0 through 15; at 20, 30, and 45 mins; every 30 mins from mins 60 through 240; and every 60 minutes from mins 300 through 480 postdose.

    Measured: Predose up to 480 minutes postdose

  2. Time to Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax was determined as the timepoint where the maximum of all valid concentration measurements for each measurement series was observed. Samples were taken 30, 20, and 10 minutes (mins) prior to treatment; every 3 mins from mins 0 through 15; at 20, 30, and 45 mins; every 30 mins from mins 60 through 240; and every 60 minutes from mins 300 through 480 postdose.

    Measured: Predose up to 480 minutes postdose

  3. Area Under the Blood Glucose Time-Concentration Curve Blood Glucose (AUC[BG])

    AUC(BG) values are reported for participants whose blood glucose (BG) was elevated higher than 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) within 4 hours of consuming a liquid meal. Blood samples were collected at 30, 20, 10, and within 5 minutes before; at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 25 minutes; and every 10 minutes from minute 30 to 240 postdose.

    Measured: Predose up to 4 hours after injection of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Humalog, Humulin-R and Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Halozyme Therapeutics at 1 site in United States.

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 16 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 26 Feb 2019. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Insulin Concentration-time Curve for the First Hour (AUC0-60) (time frame: Predose up to 60 minutes postdose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00774800, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Feb 2019.
