    Safety and Efficacy of G-Pen Compared to Lilly Glucagon for Hypoglycemia Rescue in Adult Type 1 Diabetics

    NCT02656069

    15 Mar 2017 to 25 Sept 2017

Registry summary

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

This is a blinded, randomized crossover study to compare the safety and efficacy of G-Pen (glucagon injection) to Lilly Glucagon (glucagon for injection \[rDNA origin\]) for hypoglycemia rescue of adult patients with type 1 diabetes.

Interventions

  • G-Pen (glucagon injection)Drug
  • Lilly Glucagon (glucagon injection [rDNA origin])Drug

Arms2

  • Other

    G-Pen first, then Lilly Glucagon

    A single 1 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection of G-Pen (glucagon injection) with a 7-28 day wash-out, followed by a single 1 mg SC injection of Lilly Glucagon (glucagon injection \[rDNA origin\])

  • Other

    Lilly Glucagon first, then G-Pen

    A single 1 mg SC injection of Lilly Glucagon (glucagon injection \[rDNA origin\]) with a 7-28 day wash-out, followed by a single 1 mg SC injection of G-Pen (glucagon injection)
