About this study

Official title: Phase II Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of 2 Dose Levels of a Novel Glucagon Formulation Compared to Commercially Available Glucagon in Type 1 Diabetic Patients Following Insulin-induced Hypoglycemia

In this study, participants with Type 1 diabetes received insulin through an infusion into a vein to reduce their blood glucose, and then received nasal glucagon (NG) or glucagon for injection under the skin, and their blood glucose was measured for 3 hours.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intranasal and subcutaneous glucagon (SC) in reversing insulin-induced hypoglycemia in participants with type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

In the study, up to four (4) treatments were administered as a single dose either intranasally or subcutaneously to eighteen (18) male or female participants under fasting conditions and following the use of insulin to lower blood glucose. The participants were assigned at random to a group that received one treatment for each of the 3 study periods. The glucagon administrations were separated by approximately 7 calendar days. For 2 participants, a single dose of 3 mg NG was administered at the 4th period that was separated by at least 21 calendar days from the 3rd period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Responders

    Participants with a blood glucose increment of ≥1.5 millimole per liter [mmol/L) within 15 of nadir (5 minutes post dose) and for at least 10 minutes following nadir.

    Measured: Pre-dose; 30 minutes following glucagon administration

  2. Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event

    Safety and tolerability evaluated through the assessment of adverse events. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered the investigational product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

    Measured: Within 3 hours post glucagon administration

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after glucagon administration

  2. Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after glucagon administration

  3. Maximum Change From Baseline Concentration (Cmax) of Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after glucagon administration

  4. Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after glucagon administration

  5. Area Under the Curve (AUC0-last) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after glucagon administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nasal Glucagon 1 mg, Nasal Glucagon 2 mg and SC Glucagon in people with Hypoglycemia, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 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 23 Sep 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 Canada. 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 13 Aug 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?

Percentage of Responders (time frame: Pre-dose; 30 minutes following glucagon administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Sep 2019.
