    A Trial to Confirm the Efficacy and Safety of Dasiglucagon in the Treatment of Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes Subjects

    NCT03378635

    7 Dec 2017 to 25 May 2018

Registry summary

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

The objective of the trial is to demonstrate superiority of dasiglucagon compared to placebo following a single subcutaneous dose administered to subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Additionally to compare the glycemic response observed after administration dasiglucagon with that of GlucaGen®.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Time to Plasma Glucose Recovery

    Time frame · 0-45 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Plasma glucose recovery is defined as first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline without administration of rescue intravenous glucose. The outcome measure used a Kaplan-Meier estimate with 95% confidence interval. Treatment groups without censoring utilized a distribution free method to compute the confidence interval for median time.

Secondary outcomes(11)
  1. Plasma Glucose Recovery

    Time frame · 0-30 minutes after dosing: assessed at 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after study drug injection

    Registry description

    Plasma glucose recovery within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after study drug injection without administration of rescue IV glucose. Plasma glucose recovery was defined as the first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline without administration of rescue intravenous glucose.

  2. Plasma Glucose Changes From Baseline

    Time frame · 0-30 minutes after dosing: assessed at 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after study drug injection

    Registry description

    Plasma glucose changes from baseline at 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes and 10 minutes after study drug injection without administration of rescue intravenous glucose

  3. Time to Target

    Time frame · 0-45 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Time to first plasma glucose concentration ≥70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) without administration of rescue intravenous glucose. The outcome measure used a Kaplan-Meier estimate with 95% confidence interval. Treatment groups without censoring utilized a distribution free method to compute the confidence interval for median time.

  4. Pharmacodynamics - Area Under the Effect Curve

    Time frame · 0-30 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Plasma glucose response as area under the effect curve (AUE) above baseline from time zero to 30 minutes. Samples were collected pre-dose, and at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 25 and 30 minutes after dosing.

  5. Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve

    Time frame · 0-90 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Area under the drug concentration curve from time zero to 90 minutes, AUC0-90min. To calculate the AUC the standard trapezoidal method was used, based on actual rather than nominal time points. Samples were collected pre-dose, and at 15, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after dosing.

  6. Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve

    Time frame · 0-120 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Area under the drug concentration curve from time zero to 120 minutes, AUC0-120min. To calculate the AUC the standard trapezoidal method was used, based on actual rather than nominal time points. Samples were collected pre-dose, and at 15, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after dosing.

  7. Pharmacokinetics - Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Time frame · 0-120 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax). Maximum plasma drug concentration was determined as the maximum of all valid plasma dasiglucagon/glucagon concentrations. Samples were collected pre-dose, and at 15, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after dosing.

  8. Pharmacokinetics - Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration

    Time frame · 0-120 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Time to maximum plasma drug concentration (tmax). Median Tmax was determined as the time point where the maximum of all valid plasma dasiglucagon/glucagon concentration measurements for each measurement series was observed. Samples were collected pre-dose, and at 15, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after dosing.

  9. Immunogenicity - Occurence of Anti-drug Antibodies

    Time frame · 28 days

    Registry description

    Occurence of antibodies against dasiglucagon/GlucaGen

  10. Rescue Infusion of IV Glucose During the Hypoglycemic Clamp Procedure

    Time frame · 0-45 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Number of patients receiving administration of rescue infusion of IV glucose during the hypoglycemic clamp procedure. IV = intravenous

  11. Time to First Rescue Infusion of IV Glucose

    Time frame · 0-45 minutes after dosing

    Registry description

    Time to first rescue administration of rescue infusion of IV glucose. IV = intravenous
