- Abstract
Introduction: Technosphere insulin (TI) is an inhaled dry powder ultra-rapid-acting insulin. This report describes the results of the first study of TI in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: Pharmacokinetics (PK) of TI and the effect of TI on circulating glucose concentrations were evaluated in a single-arm study that enrolled children ages 8–17 years with T1D for more than 1 year, on a stable multiple daily insulin injection (MDI) regimen, and meeting pre-defined pulmonary function testing criteria (at least 70% predicted). To assess PK, subjects received an individualized single preprandial dose of TI (4–12 U, in 4-U increments) via oral inhalation, based on their usual meal-time subcutaneously injected rapid-acting insulin dose and meal content. Serum insulin and blood glucose were measured at − 30 to 250 min relative to dosing. Results: Twenty-seven children with T1D participated in this single-dose PK study. Mean subject age was 13.3 years (59% female; 81.5% White). Mean serum insulin Cmax (maximum concentration) was 77.3, 119.15, and 207.7 µU/mL for doses of 4, 8, and 12 U, respectively. Tmax occurred at 10.5, 13.9, and 14.6 min post-dose for 4, 8, and 12 U. Glucose lowering 30–60 min post-dose was consistent with the PK profile. Conclusion: Serum insulin rapidly increased post-dose and returned to baseline by 120 min. The data suggests the PK of TI in youth with T1D ages 8–17 years was similar to that seen in previous adult studies. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02527265.
