Keywords

Phase 2 Study for novel insulin delivery of type 2 diabetes

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is: * To assess the efficacy of Nasulin vs. placebo as indicated by time spent in euglycemia, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring data and serum fructosamine levels in patient volunteers with Type 2 Diabetes. * To asses the safety and tolerability of Nauslin at 50 IU and 100IU doses in patient volunteers with Type 2 Diabetes

Detailed description

This proof of concept trial has a randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with a 4-week single-blind placebo and diet run-in period. Given a ratio of 1:1, patient volunteers will be randomized into one of two parallel treatment arms, Nasulin in a combination with insulin glargine or placebo in combination with insulin glargine. The randomization period will be 6 weeks in length. The total length of individual patient volunteer participation, including screening and follow-up will be approximately 13-14 weeks.

Interventions

OTHERPlacebo for Nasulin

Basal insulin (glargine) administered as a 1x daily injection in the morning and two placebo sprays administered three times daily just prior to meals for 6 weeks.

DRUGNasulin

Basal insulin (glargine) administered as a 1x daily injection in the morning and two (50 IU) or four (100 IU) sprays of Nasulin (intranasal insulin spray 1%) administered three times daily just prior to meals for 6 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)Baseline and 5-6 weeksContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients receiving either Nasulin or placebo were collected and compared at baseline and the last two weeks of the study, and changes (week 5-6 minus baseline) in the mean percentage of time spend in euglycemia (70 to 180 mg/dl blood glucose) (MPTEU) were assessed from baseline Week 0 to Week 5-6.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Glycemic Control5-6 weeksContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients at the last weeks of study (week 5-6) were averaged for assessment of glycemic control under the treatment of either Nasulin or placebo.

Outcome results

Primary

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from patients receiving either Nasulin or placebo were collected and compared at baseline and the last two weeks of the study, and changes (week 5-6 minus baseline) in the mean percentage of time spend in euglycemia (70 to 180 mg/dl blood glucose) (MPTEU) were assessed from baseline Week 0 to Week 5-6.

Time frame: Baseline and 5-6 weeks

Population: 47 patients were randomized to the placebo/oral antidiabetic arm while 47 others were randomized to the Nasulin/oral antidiabetic arm of the study. Forty-four patients in the placebo + oral antidiabetic arm and 45 patients in the Nasulin + oral antidiabetic arm completed the study.
