Brief summary
A phase 4 study evaluating the efficacy of mealtime control with Afrezza in combination with an automated insulin pump or insulin degludec in adult subjects with type 1 diabetes
Detailed description
MKC-TI-192 is a Phase 4, 90-day, randomized, three-arm, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the treatment paradigm and efficacy of Afrezza in controlling postprandial glucose in adult subjects (≥18 years of age) with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Subjects will be randomized to one of three treatment groups (two Afrezza groups and one control group): * Afrezza + AID: Subjects in this group will use Afrezza for their bolus (mealtime) insulin and a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump with an automatic insulin delivery (AID) algorithm using rapid acting analogs (RAA) for their basal and correction insulin coverage. * Afrezza + Insulin Degludec: Subjects in this group will use Afrezza for their bolus (mealtime and correction) insulin and insulin degludec for basal insulin coverage. * AID Control: Subjects in this group will use a CSII pump with an AID algorithm using RAA for all bolus (mealtime and correction) and basal insulin coverage (control group). The study is composed of up to 5 clinic visits (screening, 3 treatment visits, and an end-of-treatment visit) and 9 telephone visits.
