About this study
Official title: An Open Label, Multiple Ascending Dose Trial in Patients With T1DM to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Insulin Tregopil and to Evaluate the Postprandial Glucose Control With Different Meal Types in Comparison With Insulin Aspart
Multi-centre, open label, multiple ascending dose trial in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multiple dose trial with two parts in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Part 1 consists of four cohorts with multiple ascending doses of insulin Tregopil and comprises a sentinel dosing design. Part 2 consists of a randomised, 2-treatment, crossover design with mixed meal tests (MMTs) of different compositions followed by parallel design titrated treatment period. Both parts include dosing during an in-house period and during a subsequent outpatient period.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TregopilDrug
Also called IN-105
Insulin Tregopil is recombinant human insulin modified by a single amphiphilic oligomer covalently linked via an amide bond to lysine at position 29 of the B-chain. This alters the physicochemical characteristics of the molecule, leading to enhanced stability and resistance to intestinal degradation following oral administration.

| Tregopil 45 mg | Active comparator | Dose level cohort with a sentinel dosing design Receives: Drug: Tregopil |

The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Multi-centre, open label, multiple ascending dose trial in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Detailed description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multiple dose trial with two parts in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Part 1 consists of four cohorts with multiple ascending doses of insulin Tregopil and comprises a sentinel dosing design. Part 2 consists of a randomised, 2-treatment, crossover design with mixed meal tests (MMTs) of different compositions followed by parallel design titrated treatment period. Both parts include dosing during an in-house period and during a subsequent outpatient period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Tregopil in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), run by Biocon Limited 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 12 inclusion and 27 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Part 1 completed. Part 2 not initiated). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Adverse events (AEs) (time frame: Between screening (up to Day -21) and End of study ( up to Day 6)). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04141423, 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 27 Jun 2022.
