A Study To Compare the Effects of Insulin Peglispro and Glargine on Insulin Sensitivity and Meal Time Insulin Requirements in Type 2 Diabetics

Phase 1CompletedNCT02197520

Eli Lilly and Company24 enrolled

Overview

This study will look into insulin sensitivity (how the body responds to insulin) and effects of meals on type 2 diabetics comparing insulin peglispro to insulin glargine. The study has two treatment periods, each of which will last about four weeks. One drug (insulin peglispro or insulin glargine) will be administered in each period. Participants will receive both drugs during the study. Participants may remain on stable dose metformin, as prescribed by their personal physician.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pharmacodynamics (PD): Average Glucose Infusion Rate From Euglycemic 2-step Hyperinsulinemic Clamp (M-value)

During the euglycemic 2-step hyperinsulinemic clamp, both low and high insulin was infused sequentially during the same procedure. The 2-step clamp procedure allowed insulin sensitivity to be measured in participants and uses a lower dose of insulin of which the effect is largely on the liver and a high dose of insulin at which the effect has reached 100% on liver and effects are largely on glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Measurements for average glucose infusion rate are collected for both steps (low and high) of the clamp procedure.

Time frame: Day 33, last 30 minutes (final step) of euglycemic 2-step hyperinsulinemic clamp

Secondary Outcomes

Pharmacodynamics (PD): Plasma Glucose Area Under the Concentration Curve Zero Through 5 Hours (AUC 0-5h), Above Pre Meal Baseline for Insulin Lispro

Time frame: Days 30 through 32:Pre-dose, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300 minutes post-breakfast

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Curve Concentration Curve Zero Through 5 Hours (AUC 0-5h) for Prandial Insulin Lispro

Time frame: Days 30 through 32:Pre-dose, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300 minutes post-breakfast

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Curve Zero Through 5 Hours (AUC 0-5h) for Acetaminophen

Time frame: Day 29:Pre-dose, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300 minutes post-breakfast

Appetite and Satiety Ratings, as Measured Using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on Day 29

VAS was scored from 0 - 100 millimeters (mm) as a perception of appetite and satiety (Flint et al. 2000), 0 being not hungry at all or nothing at all and 100 being extremely hungry and extremely large amount. The questions are abbreviated in table from: How hungry do you feel right now? to Hunger and How much food do you think you could eat right now? to Food amount. Scores were averaged and will be presented and calculated by a sum of the scores dividing by the total by the number of scores reported for timepoints.

Time frame: Day 29:Upon waking, pre-breakfast, 1 hour (hr), 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr and 5 hr post breakfast

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) for Insulin Lispro During Clamp

Time frame: Day 33 during euglycemic 2-step hyperinsulinemic clamp
