A Study to Evaluate Insulin in the Blood After Inhalation of a Dry Powder Insulin Formulation (Called Technosphere®/Insulin) in Non-diabetic Patients With & Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Interventions
Drug: Technosphere®/Insulin
Registration Number
NCT01021891
Lead Sponsor
Mannkind Corporation
Brief Summary

Trial will include 40 subjects and consists of 3 visits: Screening, Treatment and Follow up. A euglycemic clamp procedure and Technosphere®/Insulin (T/I) administration will occur at Visit 2 for both COPD and non COPD subjects.

Detailed Description

Trial objectives are to evaluate the impact of a defined lung disease (COPD) on pharmacokinetic parameters of insulin and fumaryl diketopiperazine (FDKP) after inhalation of Technosphere®/Insulin (T/I), the investigational medicinal product. 40 non diabetic subjects, 20 COPD and 20 age/gender/BMI-matched non COPD subjects will participate in 3 visits: Visit 1 (screening), Visit 2 (subjects will undergo a euglycemic clamp procedure and be dosed with T/I) and Visit 3 (follow up visit).
