Phase 1
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Registration Number
NCT00426920
Lead Sponsor
QDose Limited
Brief Summary

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of different doses of spray-dried recombinant human insulin powder for inhalation administered via a dry powder uinhalation device compared with subcutaneously administered regular human insulin in healthy male volunteers under the conditions of a eugycemic clamp.

Detailed Description

Explorative, single-center, randomized, open label, 4-way crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of different doses of spray-dried recombinant human insulin powder for inhalation administered via a dry powder uinhalation device compared with subcutaneously administered regular human insulin in healthy male volunteers under the conditions of a eugycemic clamp.
