Glucagon Rescue of Insulin-Induced Hypoglycemia in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Treated With Volagidemab
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Interventions
- Biological: Volagidemab
- Registration Number
- NCT06272695
- Lead Sponsor
- REMD Biotherapeutics, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This trial is designed to evaluate the effect of glucagon receptor antagonism by volagidemab (once weekly) on glucose recovery from hypoglycemia after treatment with glucagon in adults with type 1 diabetes. After informed consent, Screening procedures to establish subject eligibility will be performed within a period of 28 days. Approximately 24 subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on stable doses of insulin will be enrolled.
After enrollment, subjects will undergo a baseline Hypoglycemia Recovery Procedure (with glucagon rescue). Subjects will then receive volagidemab subcutaneously (SC) once weekly for 6 weeks. At the end of the treatment phase, subjects will undergo a second Hypoglycemia Recovery Procedure. Subjects will be followed for 6 weeks after the last volagidemab dose with a final End-of-Study (EOS) visit during Week 12. The primary outcome will be the change in time to glucagon treatment success at Week 6 versus baseline.

Group Intervention Description 35 mg Volagidemab Volagidemab Volagidemab 35 mg will be administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection once weekly for 6 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Time to glucagon treatment success at Week 6. 6 weeks The primary outcome of the study is the change in time to glucagon treatment success, defined as an increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL from the glucose nadir after receiving glucagon during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, from baseline to Week 6.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Blood glucose response to glucagon rescue treatment during insulin-induced hypoglycemia. 6 weeks Percentage of subjects achieving glucagon treatment success, defined as an increase in plasma glucose to ≥70 mg/dL or an increase of ≥20 mg/dL from the glucose nadir within 30 minutes of receiving glucagon during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, at Week 6.
Hypoglycemia symptoms - Clarke Survey 6 weeks Results of the Clarke Survey will be summarized over Intent-to-Treat (ITT) set using descriptive statistics by visit (baseline, week 6). Changes from baseline in Clarke Survey will be summarized similarly.
Treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) 12 weeks The subject incidence rates of AEs will be tabulated by system organ class, preferred term, and severity grade for all treatment emergent, serious, treatment related, and serious treatment related AEs.
Hypoglycemia symptoms - Gold Questionnaire 6 weeks Results of the Gold Questionnaire will be summarized over Intent-to-Treat (ITT) set using descriptive statistics by visit (baseline, week 6). Changes from baseline in Gold Questionnaire will be summarized similarly.
Hypoglycemia symptoms - Edinburgh Hypoglycemia Scale 6 weeks Results of the Edinburgh Hypoglycemia Scale will be summarized over Intent-to-Treat (ITT) set using descriptive statistics by visit (baseline, week 6) and timepoint (baseline, t = 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after glucagon administration for Edinburgh Hypoglycemia Scale). Changes from baseline in Edinburgh hypoglycemia scale will be summarized similarly.
Change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 6. 6 weeks Change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 6, after repeated doses of volagidemab
