Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of insulin degludec in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus reflect similarities with Caucasian patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The present study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of insulin degludec (IDeg) in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes.

Materials and methods

This was a randomized, single-center, double-blind, two-period, crossover, multiple-dose trial. Patients were randomized into two treatment sequences, and received IDeg or insulin detemir for 6 days and a washout period (7-21 days) before switching treatment. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic measurements were obtained before each dose and up to 120 h after the last dose of each treatment period. Pharmacodynamic measurements were obtained using a 26-h euglycemic clamp procedure after the last dose of each treatment period.

Results

A total of 22 patients were randomized (14 men, 8 women; mean glycosylated hemoglobin at baseline of 7.5% [based on Japanese Diabetes Society value]). At steady state, total glucose-lowering effect (area under the glucose infusion rate [GIR] curve during one dosing interval [τ, 0-24 h] at steady state [AUCGIR ,τ, SS]) was 1,446 mg/kg and total exposure (geometric mean) of IDeg (AUCID eg,τ, SS) was 81,270 pmol h/L. Both the glucose-lowering effect and the exposure of IDeg were evenly distributed over the dosing interval, with AUC for the first 12-h intervals being approximately 50% of the total (geometric mean; AUCGIR ,0-12h, SS/AUCGIR ,τ, SS = 48%; AUCID eg,0-12h, SS/AUCID eg,τ, SS = 53%).

Conclusions

IDeg has a flat, consistent and ultra-long glucose-lowering effect that is evenly distributed across a 24-h interval and an ultra-long duration of action in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes. These data support once-daily dosing of IDeg in all patients. Overall, the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic end-points and safety observations are consistent with those previously reported in Caucasian patients.

Project description:Background and objectivesThis study examined the effects of moderate renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of canagliflozin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsJapanese patients with stable type 2 diabetes (12 with moderate renal impairment and 12 with normal renal function or mild renal impairment) were eligible. This was an open-label, randomized, two-way crossover, two-sequence, single-dose study performed at a single center in Japan. The subjects were hospitalized for the pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetic evaluations. Twenty-four patients received a single dose each of canagliflozin 100 and 200 mg before breakfast in a crossover manner with a 14-day washout between doses. The main outcome measures were pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin and its main metabolites (M5 and M7) in plasma and urine, and change from baseline in 24-h urinary glucose excretion (ΔUGE24 h).ResultsThere was no significant effect of moderate renal impairment on the maximum canagliflozin concentration. The ratios of least square means (90 % confidence intervals [CIs]) of moderate renal impairment relative to normal renal function or mild renal impairment were 0.982 (0.821-1.173) and 0.989 (0.827-1.182) for the 100 and 200 mg doses, respectively. The canagliflozin area under the plasma concentration-time curve was greater in those with moderate renal impairment than in those without, after both canagliflozin doses (ratio of least square means [90 % CI] 1.258 [1.061-1.490] and 1.216 [1.026-1.441]). ΔUGE24 h increased after administration of both doses, but in patients with moderate renal impairment, the increase was approximately 70 % of that in patients with normal renal function or mild renal impairment. The incidence of adverse events was low and no patient developed hypoglycemia.ConclusionThe pharmacokinetics of canagliflozin are affected by renal function, with slight decreases in renal clearance observed. No effect of renal impairment on the maximum concentration was observed. Renal impairment reduced the ability of canagliflozin to promote urinary glucose excretion.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of diabetes in elderly subjects is complex and careful management of glucose levels is of particular importance in this population because of an increased risk of diabetes-related complications and hypoglycaemia.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of insulin degludec (IDeg), a basal insulin with an ultra-long duration of action, in elderly subjects with type 1 diabetes compared with younger adults.MethodsThis trial was a randomised, double-blind, two-period, crossover trial conducted in a single centre and included both inpatient and outpatient periods. Subjects were men and women aged 18-35 years inclusive (younger adult group) or ≥65 years (elderly group) with type 1 diabetes who received IDeg (0.4 U/kg) via subcutaneous injection in the thigh once-daily for six days. Following 6-day dosing, a 26-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp procedure was conducted to evaluate the steady-state pharmacodynamic effects of IDeg. Blood samples were taken for pharmacokinetic analysis up to 120 h post-dose. Pharmacokinetic endpoints included the total exposure of IDeg, ie the area under the IDeg serum concentration curve during one dosing interval at steady state (AUC(IDeg,τ,SS)) (τ = 0-24 h, equal to one dosing interval) and the maximum IDeg serum concentration at steady state (C(max,IDeg,SS)). Pharmacodynamic endpoints included the total glucose-lowering effect of IDeg, ie the area under the glucose infusion rate (GIR) curve at steady state (AUC(GIR,τ,SS)), and the maximum GIR at steady state (GIR(max,IDeg,SS)).ResultsTotal exposure (AUC(IDeg,τ,SS)) and maximum concentration (C(max,IDeg,SS)) of IDeg were comparable between elderly subjects and younger adults. Estimated mean age group ratios (elderly/younger adult) for AUC(IDeg,τ,SS) and C(max,IDeg,SS) and corresponding two-sided 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were 1.04 (95 % CI 0.73-1.47) and 1.02 (95 % CI 0.74-1.39), respectively. Mean AUC(IDeg,0-12h,SS)/AUC(IDeg,τ,SS) was 53 % in both younger adult and elderly subjects, showing that in both age groups IDeg exposure was evenly distributed across the first and second 12 h of the 24-hour dosing interval. No statistically significant differences were observed between younger adult and elderly subjects with regard to AUC(GIR,τ,SS) (the primary endpoint of this study) and GIR(max,IDeg,SS). Estimated mean age group ratios (elderly/younger adult) for AUC(GIR,τ,SS) and GIR(max,IDeg,SS) and corresponding two-sided 95 % CIs were 0.78 (95 % CI 0.47-1.31) and 0.80 (95 % CI 0.54-1.17), respectively. Duration of action was beyond the clamp duration of 26 h in all subjects.ConclusionsThe exposure of IDeg at steady state during once-daily dosing was similar in younger adult and elderly subjects. The glucose-lowering effect of IDeg was numerically lower in elderly subjects compared with younger adults, but no significant differences were observed between age groups. The ultra-long pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of IDeg observed in younger adults were preserved in elderly subjects with type 1 diabetes. Clinical trials.gov number: NCT00964418.
