Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Insulin in Type 1 Diabetes

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00322257
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA) and Canada. The aim of this research is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and blood glucose) and pulmonary safety (pulmonary function, chest x-rays) of mealtime inhaled insulin with subcutaneous insulin aspart both in combination with insulin determir in Type 1 Diabetes.

Detailed Description

The decision to discontinue the development of AERx® is not due to any safety concerns. An analysis concluded that fast-acting inhaled insulin in the form it is known today, is unlikely to offer significant clinical or convenience benefits over injections of modern insulin with pen devices.
