- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate that dasiglucagon is superior to placebo following a single injection of 0.6 mg of dasiglucagon in treating hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are:<br>- To confirm that a single dose of dasiglucagon [0.6 mg] is comparable to a single dose of GlucaGen® [1 mg/mL] in treating hypoglycemia in children with T1DM, (in accordance with the label, children below 25 kg body weight will be administered 0.5 mg GlucaGen®),<br>- To assess safety profile of dasiglucagon in children with T1DM,<br>- To assess pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of dasiglucagon in children with T1DM.;Primary end point(s): Time to plasma glucose recovery. <br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Plasma glucose recovery is defined as first increase in plasma glucose of =20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline during the hypoglycemic clamp procedure without administration of rescue intravenous (IV) glucose.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy endpoints:<br>- Plasma glucose recovery within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after trial product injection without administration of IV glucose<br>- Plasma glucose changes from baseline within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after trial product injection or at the time of rescue IV glucose.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Secondary 1-4: Plasma glucose recovery within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after study drug injection without administration of rescue IV glucose.<br>- Secondary 5-8: Plasma glucose changes from baseline within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after study drug injection or at the time of rescue.
