About this study

Official title: Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Pharmacokinetic and Glucodynamic 6-Way Crossover Study of SC Administered Insulin Lispro With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) and Regular Human Insulin With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) Compared to Insulin Lispro Alone in Healthy Volunteers

Insulin lispro and regular human insulin are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) is approved by the FDA as an aid to the absorption and dispersion of other injectable drugs. In this study, rHuPH20 will be co-administered with both insulin lispro and regular human insulin 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

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, breakdown and elimination) of regular human insulin + recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) versus insulin lispro alone, and to compare the pharmacokinetics of insulin lispro + rHuPH20 versus insulin lispro alone. The effects of regular human insulin + rHuPH20, insulin lispro + rHuPH20, and insulin lispro alone on the body will be evaluated by blood glucose measurements and by calculating the rate at which a glucose solution is infused to maintain blood glucose within a certain range. The safety and tolerability of insulin lispro with and without rHuPH20 and regular human insulin with rHuPH20 will be studied. The study drugs will be administered by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Insulin Lispro, Regular Human Insulin, rHuPH20ExperimentalAll participants were randomized to 1 of 6 treatment sequences (ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, or CBA), each of which was comprised of the same 3 interventions (A, B, and C). Intervention A: a single, subcutaneous (SC) injection of 0.15 units per kilogram (U/kg) insulin lispro with 3.75 nanograms per kilogram (ng/kg) recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) Intervention B: a single, SC injection of 0.15 U/kg regular human insulin (RHI) with 3.75 ng/kg rHuPH20 Intervention C: a single, SC injection of 0.15 U/kg insulin lispro alone There was a washout period of 3 to 14 days between interventions. The treatment sequence (ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, or CBA) was repeated once so that each participant received up to 6 injections.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-participant Variability in Percent of Total Area Under the Plasma Insulin Concentration-Versus-Time Curve Attained by Time T (%AUC[0-T])

    Blood samples were taken 30, 20, 10 minutes (mins) prior to each injection; every 3 mins (from 0 to 15 mins); and every 5 mins (from 15 to 30 mins) after each injection. The percent coefficient of variation (CV%) was calculated as 100*(standard deviation/mean). The intra-participant CV% was calculated directly from the 2 replications of each treatment. The CV% for percentage of total AUC is reported from 0 to 30 minutes.

    Measured: predose up to 30 minutes postdose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Early and Late 50% Maximum Serum Insulin Concentration (t[50%Max])

    Blood samples were taken 30, 20, 10 minutes (mins) prior to each injection; every 3 mins (from 0 to 15 mins); every 5 mins (from 15 to 30 mins); every 15 mins (from 30 to 90 mins); every 30 mins (from 90 to 240 mins); and every 60 mins (from 240 to 480 mins) after each injection.

    Measured: predose up to 480 minutes postdose

  2. Peak Serum Insulin Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax was determined as the maximum of all valid serum insulin concentration measurements for each measurement series. Blood samples were taken 30, 20, 10 minutes (mins) prior to each injection; every 3 mins (from 0 to 15 mins); every 5 mins (from 15 to 30 mins); every 15 mins (from 30 to 90 mins); every 30 mins (from 90 to 240 mins); and every 60 mins (from 240 to 480 mins) after each injection.

    Measured: predose up to 480 minutes postdose

  3. Time to Percentage of Total Glucose Infused

    Blood samples were taken 30, 20, 10 minutes (mins) prior to each injection; every 3 mins (from 0 to 15 mins); every 5 mins (from 15 to 30 mins); every 15 mins (from 30 to 90 mins); every 30 mins (from 90 to 240 mins); and every 60 mins (from 240 to 480 mins) after each injection. Time to 25%, 50%, and 75% of total glucose infused are summarized.

    Measured: predose up to 480 minutes postdose

  4. Percentage of Total Glucose Infused

    Blood samples were taken 30, 20, 10 minutes (mins) prior to each injection; every 3 mins (from 0 to 15 mins); every 5 mins (from 15 to 30 mins); every 15 mins (from 30 to 90 mins); and every 30 mins (from 90 to 240 mins) after each injection. Percentage of total glucose infused from 0 to 4 hours is summarized.

    Measured: predose up to 240 minutes postdose

  5. Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Related to Study Drug

    The number of TEAEs related to study drug (as determined by the Investigator) are summarized. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: first dose through 7 to 10 days after last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Insulin Lispro, Regular Human Insulin and rHuPH20 in people with 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 9 inclusion and 12 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 22 Jul 2014. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 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?

Intra-participant Variability in Percent of Total Area Under the Plasma Insulin Concentration-Versus-Time Curve Attained by Time T (%AUC[0-T]) (time frame: predose up to 30 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 NCT00862849, 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 22 Jul 2014.
