Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of excipients sodium citrate and treprostinil without insulin on local infusion site pain in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The study may last up to 36 days including a screening period and 3 visits.

Inclusion criteria

* T1D for at least 1 year and continuously using insulin for at least 1 year * Using an insulin pump for at least the last 6 months * Have hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value of ≤ 9.0% * Have a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18.5 to 35.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) * Have medical and laboratory test results that are acceptable for the study * Have venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling

Exclusion criteria

* Hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder * Have a pathologic tuning fork test as assessed with a Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork * Are taking anesthetics or pain medication regularly or intermittently which could interfere with interpretation of pain scale * Have had more than 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance due to neurologically disabling hypoglycemia) within the last 90 days prior to screening * Have had more than 1 emergency room visit or hospitalization due to poor glucose control (hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis) within the last 6 months prior to screening * Have any hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the diluents or excipients used in this trial * Have or used to have health problems or medical test results that, in the opinion of the doctor, could make it unsafe to participate, or could interfere with understanding the results of the study * Have participated, within the last 30 days, in a clinical trial involving an investigational product * Have used or are currently using Lyumjev® as part of their standard insulin therapy

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score in the Abdominal, Arm, Thigh, and Buttock AreasDay 1: 1 min post bolus.The Infusion site pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst imaginable pain).

Recruitment details

Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 infusion site sequence below and received the study treatment in each period. Cannulas were inserted into each of the designated infusion sites (6 millimeter (mm) for all the sites. Additionally for the abdominal area only, a 9 mm cannula was also inserted into the opposite side of the lower abdomen).

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Overall
Participants received 15 mM sodium citrate and 1 μg/mL treprostinil in humalog diluent with 5 mM magnesium chloride (without insulin) as SC infusion. Six mm cannula was inserted into each of the designated areas (arm, abdomen, thigh, and buttock). At the abdominal area only, a 9 mm cannula was also inserted into the opposite side of the lower abdomen.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score in the Abdominal, Arm, Thigh, and Buttock Areas

The Infusion site pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst imaginable pain).

Time frame: Day 1: 1 min post bolus.

Population: All participants who received at least one infusion and had VAS pain scores.
