Condition(s) targeted: Hypoglycemia

Intervention: BIOD-961 (Drug); Lilly Glucagon (Drug); Novo Glucagon (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Active, not recruiting

Summary

BIOD-961 is a dry powder formulation of glucagon intended for use in a device that mixes (reconstitutes) the powder with liquid to make it easier for users to treat patients with severe hypoglycemia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how much BIOD-961 absorbs into the bloodstream, how much it raises glucose concentrations (the intended effect) and compare to two glucagon products already on the market.

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BIOD-961 vs. Glucagon for Injection (Eli Lilly) and GlucaGen® (Novo Nordisk) Administered by Subcutaneous and Intramuscular Injection in Normal, Healthy Volunteers

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics/Dynamics Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Glucagon maximal concentration and area under curve

Glucose maximal concentration and area under curve

Secondary outcome:

Time to maximal glucagon concentration

Time to maximal glucose concentration

Maximal glucose excursion

Area under the glucose time curve from 0 to return to baseline after blood glucose peaked

Detailed description: Subjects receive on separate days, in random order one of the following: 1 mg BIOD-961 intramuscularly (IM), 1 mg Lilly (IM), 1 mg Novo (IM), 1 mg BIOD-961 subcutaneously (SC), 1 mg Lilly (SC), and 1 mg Novo (SC).
