Trial to Confirm the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Dasiglucagon in the Treatment of Hypoglycemia in Subjects With T1DM

A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of dasiglucagon in the rescue treatment of hypoglycemia in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) compared to placebo

Subjects were randomized in a ratio of 3:1 to receive a single subcutaneous dose of dasiglucagon (0.6 mg) or matching placebo. Randomization also determined whether the subject was to be injected in the buttock or deltoid. During the dosing visit (Visit 2), hypoglycemia was induced by a fast-acting insulin glulisine (Apidra®) infusion, and trial drug was administered when the subject's plasma glucose level was 45-60 mg/dL (2.5-3.3 mmol/L). During the insulin-induced hypoglycemia, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic samples were drawn, and plasma glucose levels were monitored closely at site for safety reasons. A rescue glucose infusion could be administered to ameliorate persistent hypoglycemia. Subjects were followed for at least 28 days after dosing to perform an adequate immunogenicity evaluation of treatment.
