Brief summary

Single-centre, randomised, double-blind, single dose, two-treatment, two-period, two sequence, crossover,12-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp trial in healthy subjects

Detailed description

The present study is designed to demonstrate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic equivalence of Biocon Insulin R with Humulin® R in healthy subjects. The treatment consists of one single dose of the test or reference product, administered during each of the two study periods, separated by 5-7 days between each dosing. The planned trial duration for each subject is about 12 to 36 days. Eligible subjects will undergo two 12-hour euglycaemic clamp examinations, one after administration of the test product and one after administration of the reference product in random order.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALBiocon Insulin R

Biocon Insulin R is a short-acting human insulin, produced by recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) technology utilizing Pichia pastoris (yeast).

BIOLOGICALHumulin®R

Humulin® R is a polypeptide hormone structurally identical to human insulin synthesised through recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) technology in a non-pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli bacteria.

Inclusion criteria

* Healthy male or post-menopausal female subject. Post-menopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and confirmed by a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the post-menopausal range (\>= 25.8 IU/L). * Age between 18 and 55 years, both inclusive. * Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.0 kg/m\^2, both inclusive. * Fasting plasma glucose concentration \<= 100 mg/dL. * Considered generally healthy upon completion of medical history and screening safety assessments, as judged by the Investigator

Exclusion criteria

* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to Investigational Medicinal products (IMP(s)) or related products. * Receipt of any medicinal product in clinical development within 30 days or five times its half-life (whichever is longer) before randomisation in this trial. * Any history or presence of clinically relevant comorbidity, as judged by the investigator. * Systolic blood pressure \< 95 mmHg or \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \< 50 mm Hg or \> 90 mmHg after resting for at least 5 minutes in supine position (excluding white-coat hypertension; therefore, a repeat test showing results within range will be acceptable). * Pulse rate at rest outside the range of 50-90 beats per minute.
