- Drug: US-Lantus
- Registration Number
- NCT05248841
- Lead Sponsor
- Lannett Company, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a phase 1 study to demonstrate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic similarity between HEC-Glargine and US-Lantus® using the euglycemic clamp technique in healthy male adult volunteers.
- Detailed Description
This will be a double-blind, single-dose, randomized, two-period, two-treatment, two-sequence crossover clamp study performed at a single study center. The study population consists of healthy adult male subjects.
The study will comprise of:
* A screening period: maximum 28 days prior to first dose administration.
* Admission: Subjects will be admitted to the study center on Day -1
* Two Treatment Periods (Treatment Periods 1 and 2): Subjects will be randomized to either of the 2 treatment sequences (AB or BA) on Day 1 of Treatment Period 1 to receive either test or reference product as per randomization schedule in a 1:1 ratio.
* Treatment A (Test Formulation): HEC-Glargine
* Treatment B (Reference Formulation): US-Lantus®
On Day 1 of each Treatment Period, the study drug or reference product will be administered as a single morning dose to subjects in a fasting state. There will be a wash-out period of at least 7 calendar days. Each subject will receive both test and reference products in a crossover pattern over Treatment Periods 1 and 2.
