Single-center, double-blind, random-sequence study assessing the HDV dose-response relationship to Endogenous Glucose Production (EGP), Free Fatty Acids (FFA) and Glucose Disposal Rate (GDR) during a euglycemic clamp procedure following overnight stabilization of blood glucose with intravenous insulin (and, if needed intravenous glucose). EGP and GDR will be determined using established radioisotope methodology. The concentration of Hepatic Directed Vesicles (HDV) in the insulin lispro (LIS) infused during the clamp procedure will be varied such that the percentage of HDV-bound LIS will range from 0%, 1%, 10%, and 100%. Each participant will thus undergo four clamp procedures at the four different HDV levels. LIS will be infused at a constant dose (6 mU/m2/min) for each of the four procedures.

The name of the investigational drug is Hepatic Directed Vesicles + Insulin Lispro (HDV-bound LIS). It is a nano-carrier-based formulation of insulin which is the active therapeutic ingredient in the product. The nano-carrier component of the formulation contains a hepatic target molecule, biotin phosphatidylethanolamine, which has an affinity for hepatocytes and enables the product to deliver insulin directly to the liver.
Percentage of suppression of endogenous glucose production
To establish the dose-response relationship between Hepatic-Directed Vesicles (HDV) and endogenous glucose production at a constant dose of insulin lispro (LIS) during euglycemic clamp procedure
