Pharmacokinetic (PK), Pharmacodynamic (PD), and Safety Study of Subcutaneously Administered Humalog® With and Without Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20)and Humulin-R® With and Without rHuPH20

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00705536
Lead Sponsor
Halozyme Therapeutics
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Humalog (insulin lispro) or Humulin-R (recombinant human insulin) when administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 20 units (U) with or without coadministration of recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20).

The study hypothesizes that the time required to reach maximum insulin concentration (tmax) when insulin is administered with rHuPH20 will be comparable or shorter than the time required without rHuPH20.

Maximum serum insulin concentration (Cmax) values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from 3 milliliter (mL) blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

Time to maximum serum insulin concentration (tmax) values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from 3 milliliter (mL) blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Time Required to Reach Endogenous Plasma Glucose Levels (AUC[0-t'])Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure. Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (Tmax) for Serum Insulin With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) (AUC[0-tmaxPH20])Predose and up to 48 minutes postdose during Stage 1, or up to 68 minutes postdose during Stage 2

Relative Bioavailability (Area Under the Curve [AUC] for Insulin + Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase [rHuPH20] / AUC for Insulin Alone)Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

Relative bioavailability was determined by dividing the baseline-corrected geometric mean of the area under the curve (AUC) for insulin (ins) (Humalog or Humulin-R) with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) by the baseline-corrected geometric mean of the AUC for insulin alone (AUC\[insulin+rHuPH20\]/AUC\[insulin\]).

Bioavailability values for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R and rHuPH20 were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure.

Time to maximal effect for glucose infusion rate (tGIR\[max\]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained every 3 minutes during a euglycemic clamp procedure. Samples were taken 10 and 1 minute (min) prior to treatment, every 3 min from min 0 through 60, every 15 min from min 60 through 180, and every 60 min from min 180 through 360 throughout the clamp procedure.

Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Curve From 0 to 120 Minutes After Injection (AUC[GIR{0-120}])Predose and up to 120 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from minutes 0 to 120 after injection (AUC\[GIR{0-120}\]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.

Time to Late Half-Maximal Effect for Glucose Infusion Rate (tGIR[late50%])Predose and up to 360 minutes postdose during Stage 1 or Stage 2

Time to late half-maximal effect for glucose infusion rate (tGIR\[late50%\]) for participants who received Humalog or Humulin-R with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) were measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.

Means were calculated using analysis of variance with effects of participant, sequence within participant, treatment, and period.

Because the study was only 360 minutes in duration, there was not sufficient time for regular human insulin to show an effect and therefore tGIR(late50%) could not be calculated for participants receiving Humulin-R alone.
