  • Strenuous exercise within the last 24 hours prior to dosing.
  • Non-fasting (i.e. consumption of food or beverages, other than water, later than 22:00 hours the evening before the visit) except if slight intake of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates has been necessary in order to prevent hypoglycaemia.
  • Injection of long-acting insulin (e.g. insulin glargine or insulin detemir) later than 12:00 hours (noon), 2 days before the dosing visit.
  • Injection of NPH insulin or other intermediate-acting insulin products later than 12:00 hours (noon) on the day before the dosing visit.
  • Injection of any short acting insulin (aspart, lispro, glulisine) or more than 6 IU of human insulin between 22:00 hours and 03:00 hours the night before the dosing visit.
  • Injection of any insulin later than 03:00 hours the night before the dosing visit.
  • Infusion of any insulin later than 03:00 hours the night before the dosing visit for subjects using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).
  • Positive result of alcohol breath test.
  • Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with insulin pharmacokinetics and/or glucose metabolism.

About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Randomized, Controlled, 2-period Cross-over, Open-labelled Trial to Evaluate the Impact of Different Application Volumes on Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties of Insulin Aspart in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

Rationale: For the development of a closed loop system, faster insulin absorption after bolus administration could help to reduce the system's delay and thus increase patient safety. It has been shown that regular insulin absorption is faster when injecting insulin with a sprinkler needle (containing holes in the walls and being sealed at the tip). The current study will evaluate the impact of different application volumes on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of rapid acting insulin analogue (insulin aspart).

Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic response (based on the time to maximum observed serum insulin concentration) and pharmacodynamic properties of rapid acting insulin aspart after subcutaneous injection of a defined dose (volume) at 1 versus 9 injection sites in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Study design: Monocentric, randomised, controlled, two-arm cross-over intervention study.

Population: Twelve type 1 diabetic subjects

Intervention: The investigational treatment is the subcutaneous administration of insulin aspart either as one bolus of 18 IU at one injection site or as 9 separately and simultaneously applied bolus of 2 IU each at 9 separate injection sites. Serum and plasma samples to assess pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties will be taken during an 8-hour clamp experiment. Patients will undergo both investigational treatments in a randomized order; between the two clamp visits there will be a wash-out period of 5-21 days.

Main study endpoint: Time to maximum observed serum insulin aspart concentration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Insulin aspart in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 6 inclusion and 19 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 20 Apr 2012. 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 Austria. 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?

tmax(ins), time to maximum observed serum insulin aspart concentration (time frame: 8 hours). 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 20 Apr 2012.
