Hypoglycaemia is reduced with use of inhaled Technosphere® Insulin relative to insulin aspart in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: AIM:To evaluate the effect of final HbA1c levels on the incidences of hypoglycaemia in participants with type 1 diabetes treated with inhaled Technosphere® Insulin or subcutaneous insulin aspart, reported in alignment with the International Hypoglycaemia Study Group recommendations. METHODS:In the randomized, phase 3, multicentre AFFINITY-1 study, adults (N = 375) who had type 1 diabetes for ? 12 months and an HbA1c level of 58-86 mmol/mol (7.5-10.0%) were randomized to receive basal insulin plus either inhaled Technosphere Insulin or subcutaneous insulin aspart. This was a post-hoc regression analysis on a subset (N = 279) of the randomized AFFINITY-1 cohort for whom baseline and end-of-treatment HbA1c values were reported. Primary outcome measures were incidence and event rates for levels 1, 2 and 3 hypoglycaemia, respectively defined as blood glucose levels of ? 3.9 mmol/l, < 3.0 mmol/l or requiring external assistance for recovery. RESULTS:Participants treated with Technosphere Insulin experienced statistically significantly fewer level 1 and 2 hypoglycaemic events and a lower incidence of level 3 hypoglycaemia than participants treated with insulin aspart. The lower rate of hypoglycaemia with Technosphere Insulin was observed across the range of end-of-treatment HbA1c levels. Technosphere Insulin was associated with higher rates of hypoglycaemia 30-60 min after meals, but significantly lower rates 2-6 h after meals. CONCLUSIONS:Participants using Technosphere Insulin experienced clinically non-inferior glycaemic control and lower hypoglycaemia rates across a range of HbA1c levels compared with participants receiving insulin aspart.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The majority of therapies have generally targeted fasting glucose control, and current mealtime insulin therapies have longer time action profiles than that of endogenously secreted insulin. The primary purpose of this study was to assess both glucose time-in-range (TIR: 70-180?mg/dL) and postprandial glucose excursions (PPGE) in 1-4?h using a real-time continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with Technosphere insulin (TI) versus insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) on multiple daily injections (MDI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:This pilot, investigator-led, collaborative, open-label, multicenter, clinical research trial enrolled 60 patients with T1DM with HbA1c levels ?6.5% and ?10%. Individuals were randomized to treatment with titrated TI (n?=?26) or titrated insulin aspart (n?=?34), stratified by baseline HbA1c levels (?8% or >8%). All were required to wear a real-time CGM throughout the trial. All patients in the TI group were advised to take supplemental inhalations at 1 and 2?h after meals if indicated based on postprandial glucose (PPG) values. The coprimary outcomes were assessed both in the full intent-to-treat population and in those individuals randomized to TI who were compliant with supplemental doses ?90% of the time (n?=?15). The CGM data were analyzed using linear regression models. RESULTS:Overall, those treated with TI versus aspart achieved comparable TIR, but less time spent in hypoglycemia (<60 and <50?mg/dL, both P?<?0.05). In the TI-compliant group (n?=?15), TIR was significantly greater (62.5%?±?2.6% vs. 53.8%?±?1.7%, P?=?0.009) and time in hyperglycemia >180?mg/dL was lower (34.2%?±?2.7% vs. 41.0%?±?1.7%, P?=?0.045) as compared with the aspart group. PPG was also significantly lower in the TI cohort at 60 and 90?min postmeal, and PPGE were lower in the TI-compliant group as compared with the aspart group over 1-4-h postmeal (P?<?0.05). In addition, there was weight gain in the aspart group compared with weight loss in the TI group (P?=?0.006) despite higher prandial TI insulin dose. CONCLUSIONS:We conclude that using TI appropriately at mealtimes with supplemental dosing improves prandial glucose (TIR and 1-4?h) control without any increase in time in hypoglycemia or weight gain in patients with T1DM on MDI. The study results support a larger study using a treat-to-target design to confirm these findings. Clinical trial reg. no. NCT03143816, clinicaltrials.gov .

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.
