    NCT02423980

    Apr 2015 to Jun 2015

Registry summary

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

This is an open-label, exploratory pilot study in patients with T1D. The study will involve two daytime clinical research center visits 7-14 days apart. Subjects will receive a single injection of G-Pen™ (glucagon injection) at each visit.

Interventions

  • GlucagonDrug

Arms1

  • Experimental

    Glucagon

    1 mg G-Pen™ (glucagon injection) first, followed by 0.5 mg

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Number of Subjects With Plasma Glucose > 70 mg/dL at 30 Minutes Post-treatment

    Time frame · 0-90 minutes

    Registry description

    For 90 minutes following treatment, plasma glucose was measured every 5 minutes, with an increase in plasma glucose to \>70 mg/dL within 30 minutes of treatment being considered a positive response.

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Time to Plasma Glucose > 70 mg/dL

    Time frame · 0-90 minutes

    Registry description

    Following treatment, plasma glucose was measured every 5 minutes. The first such measurement at which plasma glucose concentration was observed to be \>70 mg/dL was reported as the time to response.

  2. Time to Resolution of Induced Hypoglycemia Symptoms

    Time frame · 0-30 minutes

    Registry description

    Prior to and every 5 minutes after treatment, subjects were asked to rate the severity of each of 8 symptoms on a scale from 1 to 6, with 1 indicating the symptom was absent and 6 indicating the symptom was severe. The sum of the scores for the 8 individual symptoms was reported as the total hypoglycemia symptom score, which ranged from 8-48. The first time point post-treatment at which total hypoglycemia symptom score = 8 (i.e., all symptoms were absent) was considered the time to resolution. One and two subjects were unevaluable for response to the 1 mg and 0.5 mg doses of glucagon, respectively, as they reported no symptoms (i.e., total symptom score = 8) prior to treatment.
