Transdermal Insulin Response In Healthy Volunteers

October 9, 2023 updated by: Transdermal Delivery Solutions Corp

A Physician-Initiated Randomised, Multiple-Dose, Single Period, Phase II Dose Ranging Study to Examine Transdermal Human Insulin In Adult Healthy Volunteer Patients

Bio-fermentation produced Human insulin is available without prescription in the U.S. This study is a physician-initiated trial of a formula enabling transdermal delivery of human insulin.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to determine the amount of lowering serum glucose as a function of dose of a topically applied formulation of Human Insulin administered by syringe measurement to adult Healthy Volunteer subjects as compared to no treatment. A 5-day period of daily blood sugar monitoring by means of wearable Continuous Glucose Monitor and insulin dosing for 3 days then monitoring for at least 3 days following will form the baseline and experimental data for each subject.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the tolerability and local and systemic effects of transdermal Human Insulin if any.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postprandial Serum Glucose in mg/dL as a Response to Small Doses (0.075 to 0.15 IUs/Kg) Human Insulin Averaged Per Subject
Time Frame: Pre-dose Baseline & a Mean of readings over 3.5 hours
An Average Postprandial serum glucose measured by the Continuous Glucose Monitor as a response to a single dose of Human Insulin averaged (Mean) for each Subject. Data is reported in mg/dL. The Average reported was a comparison from Baseline (Day 1) and up to 3.5 hours following each dose (assessed at Day 1 - Baseline, Day 2 - Dose 1, Day 3 - Dose 2, and Day 4 - Dose 3)"
Pre-dose Baseline & a Mean of readings over 3.5 hours
Daily Average Serum Glucose Measured in mg/dL as a Response to Small Doses (0.075 to 0.15 IUs/Kg) Human Insulin
Time Frame: 72 hours
Daily average serum glucose measured by the Continuous Glucose Monitor in measured in mg/dL as a response to a single dose of Human Insulin and reported by the Freestyle 14-day software. Data was collected 4 times an hour throughout the test period and across doses. The prandial segments were included in this average. Data is reported in mg/dL by subject.
72 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
OECD Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion Score According to to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 404
Time Frame: 20 Days

The skin at the application site will be assessed at each Clinic Visit by the investigator and/or Study Nurse. Any dermal irritation will be scored according to to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 404, adopted 17th July, 1992: "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" and any score of 0 or greater will be reported.

The Guideline is a scale of from Zero (No erythema or edema), 1: Very slight, 2: Well-defined erythema/Slight edema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising), 3: Moderate to severe erythema/Moderate edema (raised approximately 1 mm) to 4: Severe erythema (beet redness) to eschar formation preventing grading / Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm, extending beyond area of exposure). The higher the score the worse the erythema or edema, so a score of 0 is very good and a score of 4 is very bad.
