    Assessment of Intranasal Glucagon in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

    NCT01997411

    Nov 2013 to Jan 2015

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of this study was to assess how glucagon administered nasally, using a nasal dosing delivery device, works in children and adolescents compared with commercially-available glucagon given by injection. In addition, the safety and tolerability of glucagon given nasally was evaluated.

Interventions

  • Nasal GlucagonDrug
  • Intramuscular GlucagonDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Nasal Glucagon (NG)

    Nasal glucagon (NG) doses of 2.0 mg and 3.0 mg for participants 4 to less than 12 years of age and 3.0 mg for those 12 to less than 17 years of age were administered in a nostril with a prefilled delivery device that delivered a single dose upon activation.

  • Active comparator

    Intramuscular (IM) Glucagon

    Participants who weighed at least 25 kilograms (kg)/55 pounds (lbs) were dosed 1 mg of IM glucagon; participants who weighed less than 25 kg/55 lbs, IM glucagon dosed with 0.5 mg

Primary outcomes6

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

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

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

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

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

  3. Area Under the Curve (AUC0-1.5) of Baseline Adjusted Glucagon

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

  4. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

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

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

  6. Area Under the Effect Concentration Time Curve (AUEC0-1.5) of Baseline-Adjusted Glucose From Time Zero up to 90 Minutes

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

Secondary outcomes(3)
  1. Nasal and Non-nasal Effects/Symptoms

    Time frame · Pre-dose;15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following glucagon administration

    Registry description

    Symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion and/or itching, sneezing, watery and/or itchy eyes, redness of eyes, and itching of ears and/or throat were assessed prior to administering glucagon and at 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes following administration of glucagon. This was done via the "Nasal Non-nasal Score Questionnaire". Each of the 9 symptoms is assigned an integer value from 0 to 3; higher values indicate more severe symptoms (a score of 0 indicates no symptoms). The reported results indicate the cohort median out of a possible maximum value of 27 (summing all 9 questions for each participant and reporting the median/IQR across participants).

  2. Number of Participants Achieving at Least a 25 mg/dL Rise in Blood Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration

  3. Time to Achieving ≥25 mg/dL Rise in Plasma Glucose Above Nadir Level Within 30 Minutes

    Time frame · Pre-dose; 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes following glucagon administration

    Registry description

    Time (in minutes) when all participants experienced a rise in glucose \>=25mg/dL. This is an absolute number and is not a calculated statistic. There is no distribution per cohort.
