Brief Summary:
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

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypoglycemia Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 Drug: Dasiglucagon Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to Plasma Glucose Recovery. [ Time Frame: 0-45 minutes after dosing ]
    Plasma glucose recovery was defined as first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline during the hypoglycemic clamp procedure without administration of rescue intravenous (IV) glucose. Patients who received rescue IV glucose before 45 minutes and patients not recovering within 45 minutes after dosing were censored at 45 minutes.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Plasma Glucose Recovery After Trial Drug Injection [ Time Frame: 0-30 minutes after dosing ]
    Plasma glucose recovery (patient has achieved increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L)) within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after trial drug injection without administration of rescue intravenous (IV) glucose.

  2. Plasma Glucose Changes From Baseline [ Time Frame: 0-30 minutes after dosing ]
    Plasma glucose changes from baseline at 30 minutes, at 20 minutes, at 15 minutes, and at 10 minutes after trial drug injection or at the time of rescue (patient level).

  3. Time to Target Plasma Glucose Concentration [ Time Frame: 0-45 minutes after dosing ]
    Time to first plasma glucose concentration ≥70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) without administration of rescue intravenous glucose

  4. Pharmacodynamics - Area Under the Effect Curve [ Time Frame: 0-30 minutes after dosing ]
    Plasma glucose response as area under the effect curve (AUE) above baseline from time zero to 30 minutes, AUE0-30min.

  5. Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve [ Time Frame: 0-90 minutes after dosing ]
    Area under the drug concentration curve (AUC) from time zero to 90 minutes, AUC0-90min

  6. Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve [ Time Frame: 0-120 minutes after dosing ]
    Area under the drug concentration curve (AUC) from time zero to 120 minutes, AUC0-120min

  7. Pharmacokinetics - Maximum Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: 0-120 minutes after dosing ]
    Maximum plasma dasiglucagon concentration (Cmax)

  8. Pharmacokinetics - Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration [ Time Frame: 0-120 minutes after dosing ]
    Time to maximum plasma dasiglucagon concentration (tmax)

  9. Immunogenicity - Occurrence of Anti-drug Antibodies [ Time Frame: 58 days ]
    Occurrence of antibodies against dasiglucagon. Presented as percentage of patients with antibodies.

  10. Rescue Infusions of IV Glucose After Trial Drug Administration [ Time Frame: 0-45 minutes after dosing ]
    Presented as number of patients with rescue infusions of IV glucose after trial drug administration. This was a safety outcome measure. IV = intravenous

  11. Time to First Rescue Infusion of IV Glucose After Trial Drug Administration [ Time Frame: 0-45 minutes after dosing ]
    Safety outcome measure: time to first rescue infusion of IV glucose after trial drug administration. IV = intravenous
