Humalog (Insulin Lispro (Rdna Origin)) - Summary

 
 



HUMALOG SUMMARY

Humalog® Mix75/25™ [75% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 25% insulin lispro injection, (rDNA origin)] is a mixture of insulin lispro solution, a rapid-acting blood glucose-lowering agent and insulin lispro protamine suspension, an intermediate-acting blood glucose-lowering agent.

Humalog Mix75/25, a mixture of 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 25% insulin lispro injection, (rDNA origin), is indicated in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus for the control of hyperglycemia. Humalog Mix75/25 has a more rapid onset of glucose-lowering activity compared with Humulin 70/30 while having a similar duration of action. This profile is achieved by combining the rapid onset of Humalog with the intermediate action of insulin lispro protamine suspension.

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

Published Studies Related to Humalog (Insulin Lispro)

Comparative pharmacokinetics and insulin action for three rapid-acting insulin analogs injected subcutaneously with and without hyaluronidase. [2013]
CONCLUSIONS: Coinjection of rHuPH20 with rapid-acting analogs accelerated insulin

Insulin injections in relation to meals in the hospital medicine ward: comparison of 2 protocols. [2011.09.01]
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether changing the prandial regular insulin to rapid-acting insulin analogue in hospital medicine wards improves the timing of insulin delivery in relation to meals and improves patient safety and glucose control... CONCLUSIONS: The use of prandial insulin analogues in medicine wards allows better timing with meals than regular insulin and results in better hypoglycemic outcomes. Higher rates of hyperglycemia with prandial analogues may need adjustment in insulin doses.

Meal-induced increases in C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha are attenuated by prandial + basal insulin in patients with Type 2 diabetes. [2011.09]
AIM: To determine if a regimen with prandial + basal insulin compared with basal insulin attenuates post-meal inflammatory and glycative biomarkers in patients with Type 2 diabetes... CONCLUSIONS: Controlling post-meal hyperglycaemia with prandial + basal insulin in patients with Type 2 diabetes attenuates meal-induced increases in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha compared with basal insulin. The rise in post-meal glucose, but not triglycerides, significantly correlated with the rise in post-meal inflammatory and glycative biomarkers. (c) 2011 The Authors.

Insulin glulisine compared to insulin aspart and to insulin lispro administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in patients with type 1 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial. [2011.06]
BACKGROUND: In a previous pilot study comparing insulin glulisine (GLU) with insulin aspart (ASP) administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), GLU-treated patients did show a trend toward fewer catheter occlusions compared with ASP-treated patients. Here we performed a randomized open-label, three-way crossover, controlled multicenter study comparing GLU with ASP and insulin lispro (LIS)... CONCLUSIONS: GLU was not superior to ASP and LIS with no significant difference seen among GLU, ASP, and LIS in CSII use with respect to unexplained hyperglycemia and/or perceived catheter set occlusion. GLU was associated with a higher frequency of symptomatic hypoglycemia, possibly because of slight overdosing, as previous trials suggested lower insulin requirements when GLU is initiated in type 1 diabetes.

Microneedle-based intradermal versus subcutaneous administration of regular human insulin or insulin lispro: pharmacokinetics and postprandial glycemic excursions in patients with type 1 diabetes. [2011.04]
CONCLUSIONS: PPG with RHI administered ID via microneedle was improved versus SC delivery when dosed 17 min premeal. ID RHI provided similar control of PPG as SC IL immediately premeal. Further studies of ID insulin delivery via steel microneedles are warranted.

Clinical Trials Related to Humalog (Insulin Lispro)

Phase II Pharmacokinetics Study of Humalog and Humulin-R With and Without rHuPH20 in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus [Completed]
Humalog and Humulin-R (recombinant human insulin) are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) is approved by the FDA for use as an aid in the absorption and dispersion of other injectable drugs. In this study, rHuPH20 will be co-administered with both Humalog and Humulin-R in order to determine if it improves the absorption of these insulins to more closely mimic the body's natural increase in insulin in response to a meal.

Immunogenicity Study of Wockhardt's Insulin Lispro/Lispro Mix Basal Bolus Regimen in Type 1 Diabetics [Withdrawn]
This is a randomized, parallel group comparison of the immunogenicity safety of Wockhardt's Insulin analogue Lispro and lispro Mix with Eli Lilly's Insulin analogue Humalog® and Humalog® Mix in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Humalog® Mix50/50(tm) as a Treatment for Gestational Diabetes [Completed]

Insulin Lispro 6 Days Versus Insulin Aspart 6 Days in Pump Use [Completed]
This is a 6-sequence, 3-period (8 weeks each), 3-arm, 24-week crossover study. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the use of insulin lispro in insulin pumps (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion [CSII]) compared to insulin aspart over 6 days of pump reservoir in-use. The study will also compare the in-use characteristics of insulin lispro infused at 6 days with insulin lispro infused at 2 days.

A Study of Insulin Lispro With BioChaperone Excipient in Healthy Participants [Completed]
BC106 is a molecule that when injected with insulin lispro may change the speed of absorption of insulin lispro. The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the safety of BC106 insulin lispro and any side effects that might be associated with it, blood levels of insulin lispro after injection under the skin and how BC106 insulin lispro affects blood sugar after injection under the skin. There is a minimum 7 day washout between single doses.
