A Comparison of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties Between Faster-Acting Insulin Aspart and Insulin Aspart in Elderly Subjects with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Due to population aging, an increasing number of elderly patients with diabetes use insulin. It is therefore important to investigate the characteristics of new insulins in this population. Faster-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is insulin aspart (IAsp) in a new formulation with faster absorption. This study investigated the pharmacological properties of faster aspart in elderly subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).In a randomised, double-blind, two-period crossover trial, 30 elderly (?65 years) and 37 younger adults (18-35 years) with T1DM received single subcutaneous faster aspart or IAsp dosing (0.2 U/kg) and underwent an euglycaemic clamp (target 5.5 mmol/L) for up to 12 h.The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic time profiles were left-shifted for faster aspart versus IAsp. In each age group, onset of appearance occurred approximately twice as fast (~3 min earlier) and early exposure (area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] for serum IAsp from time zero to 30 min [AUCIAsp,0-30 min]) was greater (by 86% in elderly and 67% in younger adults) for faster aspart than for IAsp. Likewise, onset of action occurred 10 min faster in the elderly and 9 min faster in younger adults, and early glucose-lowering effect (AUC for the glucose infusion rate [GIR] from time zero to 30 min [AUCGIR,0-30 min]) was greater (by 109%) for faster aspart than for IAsp in both age groups. Total exposure (AUCIAsp,0-t) and the maximum concentration (C max) for faster aspart were greater (by 30 and 28%, respectively) in elderly than in younger adults. No age group differences were seen for the total (AUCGIR,0-t) or maximum (GIRmax) glucose-lowering effect.This study demonstrated that the ultra-fast pharmacological properties of faster aspart are similar in elderly subjects and younger adults with T1DM.

Project description:BackgroundAbsorption of current rapid-acting insulins is too slow for patients with diabetes mellitus to achieve optimal postprandial glucose control. Faster-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is insulin aspart in a new formulation with faster early absorption. We compared the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of faster aspart and insulin aspart across a clinically relevant dose range.MethodsIn this randomised, double-blind, crossover trial, 46 subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus received single subcutaneous doses of faster aspart and insulin aspart at 0.1, 0.2 (repeated three times to estimate within-subject variability) and 0.4 U/kg in a euglycaemic clamp setting (target 5.5 mmol/L).ResultsConsistently for the three doses, faster aspart demonstrated faster onset and greater early absorption and glucose-lowering effect versus insulin aspart. Across all three doses, onset of appearance occurred approximately twice as fast (approximately 5 min earlier) and early insulin exposure (AUCIAsp,0-30min) was approximately 1.5- to 2-fold greater for faster aspart versus insulin aspart. Likewise, onset of action occurred approximately 5 min faster and early glucose-lowering effect (AUCGIR,0-30min) was approximately 1.5- to 2-fold larger for faster aspart versus insulin aspart. Relative bioavailability was approximately 100% and total glucose-lowering effect was similar for faster aspart versus insulin aspart. Dose-concentration and dose-response relationships were comparable between faster aspart and insulin aspart. Within-subject variability in glucose-lowering effect was low for faster aspart (coefficient of variation approximately 20%) and not significantly different from insulin aspart.ConclusionThe faster onset and greater early insulin exposure and glucose-lowering effect with faster aspart versus insulin aspart are preserved across a broad range of doses and consistently observed from day to day.

Project description:BackgroundFast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is an ultra-fast-acting formulation of insulin aspart (IAsp). This post hoc analysis investigated the pharmacokinetics of faster aspart versus IAsp, measured as free or total IAsp, and the relationship between anti-IAsp antibodies and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of faster aspart and IAsp.MethodsFree and total IAsp concentrations and anti-IAsp antibodies were determined in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus receiving subcutaneous faster aspart and/or IAsp in four single-dose clinical pharmacology trials (n = 175) and a 26-week phase IIIa trial (n = 1040). Pharmacodynamics were assessed by euglycaemic clamp or meal test, respectively.ResultsThe pharmacokinetic profile was left-shifted and early exposure was greater with faster aspart versus IAsp independent of free or total IAsp assay. The faster aspart-IAsp difference in the time to 50% of maximum IAsp concentration in the early part of the pharmacokinetic profile (tEarly 50 % Cmax) [95% confidence interval (CI)] was - 8.8 [- 10.0 to - 7.5] and - 7.6 [- 8.8 to - 6.4] min for free and total IAsp, respectively. The faster aspart/IAsp ratio for the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for IAsp from time zero to 30 min (AUCIAsp,0-30 min) [95% CI] was 1.88 [1.74-2.04] and 1.77 [1.64-1.90] for free and total IAsp. Higher anti-IAsp antibody levels were associated with a lower ratio of free/total IAsp for the total AUC for IAsp (AUCIAsp,0-t). Early glucose-lowering effect (AUC for the glucose infusion rate [GIR] from time zero to 60 min [AUCGIR,0-60 min]) was greater by 25-44% for faster aspart versus IAsp independent of anti-IAsp antibody levels. Total glucose-lowering effect (total AUC for GIR [AUCGIR,0-t]) in a clamp and 1-h postprandial glucose increment in a meal test appeared essentially unaffected by anti-IAsp antibodies.ConclusionsFaster aspart provides accelerated pharmacokinetics versus IAsp regardless if based on free or total IAsp assay. Higher anti-IAsp antibodies increase total IAsp concentrations but do not influence faster aspart nor IAsp pharmacodynamics.

Project description:Management 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.The 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.This 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,?,SS)) (? = 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,?,SS)), and the maximum GIR at steady state (GIR(max,IDeg,SS)).Total exposure (AUC(IDeg,?,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,?,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,?,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,?,SS) (the primary endpoint of this study) and GIR(max,IDeg,SS). Estimated mean age group ratios (elderly/younger adult) for AUC(GIR,?,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.The 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.
