Phase 2b Trial Comparing HDV-Insulin Lispro to Insulin Lispro in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Receiving Insulin Degludec

The goal of this study is to see if directing insulin to the liver will improve the low blood sugar that sometimes happens when injecting insulin in Type 1 diabetes patients. Participants will use continuous glucose monitoring to measure the sugar levels in their blood, and work with the doctor to find the best doses. One group of patients will get the liver targeting insulin, and the other group will use insulin they normally use for treating Type 1 diabetes. The participant will be part of the study for up to 32 weeks.

Individuals age 18 up to 80 years with Type 1 diabetes using multiple daily injections of bolus insulin plus basal insulin will be enrolled into a double-blind randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Hepatocyte-Directed Vesicles-insulin lispro (HDV-L) versus lispro alone (LIS) used in combination with insulin degludec. The study includes (1), a screening period up to 3 weeks, (2), a Run-in Period of 2 weeks to assess eligibility and to transition to use of insulin lispro and insulin degludec and unmasked continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), )3), a 12-week dose optimization period to optimize bolus and basal insulin doses,, (4), a 13-week maintenance period, and (5), a 2 -week transition follow-up period. The primary objective of the study is to determine if the addition of HDV to insulin lispro results in an improvement in glycemic control as defined by decreasing evidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia while maintaining or improving glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Other outcomes related to glycemic control will also be evaluated.
