Registry summary

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

The objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of dasiglucagon in reducing glucose requirements in children with persistent congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) requiring continuous intravenous (IV) glucose administration to prevent/manage hypoglycemia.
