A Comparison of Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of Insulin Aspart, BIAsp70, BIAsp50 and Fast-acting Human Insulin

University of Aarhus24 enrolled

Overview

The hypothesis is that an optimal formulation of fast acting and intermediary acting insulin analogues will improve post prandial glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes

This trial is a single centre, open-label, randomised 4 period cross-over trial, comparing the pk and pd profiles of IAsp, BIAsp 50, BIAsp 70 and Fast-acting Human Insulin after a standard test meal in subjects with type 1 diabetes. The profiles will be derived over a 12-hour period after subcutaneous injection in the abdominal region with a single dose of IAsp, BIAsp 50, BIAsp 70 or Fast-acting Human Insulin at a test meal. The trial consists of a screening period of 4-21 days and 4 treatment visits.
