Comparison of the Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of Insulin Aspart and Human Insulin in Elderly People With Type 2 Diabetes

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Registration Number
NCT00676819
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate if the pharmacodynamic / pharmacokinetic properties of insulin aspart and human soluble insulin are different in elderly (65 years of age or older) with type 2 diabetes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Glucose infusion ratein the time period from 0 to 120 min after administration of trial products (AUCGIR(0-120 min))
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GIRmax: the maximal GIR valuetmax, GIR: the time to maximal GIR value
AUCGIR(0-300 min) the area under the GIR profilein the interval 0-300 minutes post dosing
AUCGIR(300min-end of clamp) the area under the GIR profilein the interval 300-600 minutes post dosing (or 300 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)
early and late t50%, GIRthe time to early and late half-maximal GIR value
AUCINS(0min-end of clamp) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profilein the interval 0-600 minutes post dosing (or 0 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)
Cmax,ins: the maximal serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) concentration
AUCINS(0-60 min) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profilein the interval 0-60 minutes post dosing
AUCGIR(0 min-end of clamp) the area under the GIR profilein the interval 0-600 minutes post dosing (or 0 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)
AUCINS(300min-end of clamp) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profilein the interval 300-600 minutes post dosing (or 300 min until termination of the glucose clamp if abandoned early because of high blood glucose values)
AUCINS(0-300 min) the area under the serum insulin (or serum insulin aspart) profilein the interval 0-300 minutes post dosing
