A Study of Nasal Glucagon in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

August 16, 2019 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

Comparison of Glucagon Administered by Either the Nasal (LY900018) or Intra-muscular (GlucaGen®) Routes in Adult Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus During Controlled Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia

The purpose of this study is to compare a needle-free treatment of hypoglycemia with nasal glucagon (study drug) to a marketed glucagon administered by the intramuscular (IM) route, in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) for at least 2 years and receiving daily insulin since the time of diagnosis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have a history of epilepsy or seizure disorder
  • Are women who are pregnant or lactating
  • Have, except for the current regimen of insulin therapy and concomitant medication, regular use of or intended use of any over-the-counter or prescription medications or nutritional supplements that treat hyperglycemia or insulin resistance or that promote weight loss within 14 days before dosing
  • Daily use of systemic beta-blocker, indomethacin, warfarin or anticholinergic drugs
  • Require daily insulin treatment greater than (>)1.5 unit/kilograms (U/kg)/body weight

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Success During Controlled Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia
Time Frame: Pre-dose up to 30 minutes post each glucagon administration
Treatment success is defined as an increase in plasma glucose to greater than or equal to (≥) 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or an increase of ≥20 mg/dL from plasma glucose nadir, without receiving additional actions to increase the plasma glucose concentration. Nadir is defined as the minimum plasma glucose concentration at the time of or within 10 minutes following glucagon administration.
Pre-dose up to 30 minutes post each glucagon administration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Pharmacodynamics (PD): Change From Baseline in Maximal Blood Glucose (BGmax)
Time Frame: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration
Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration
PD: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose
Time Frame: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration
Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 90 minutes after glucagon administration
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to Tlast (AUC[0-tlast]) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon
Time Frame: Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after glucagon administration
Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, and 240 minutes after glucagon administration
