Dosage and duration of treatment
Each subject will receive a single dose of test and reference products (0.3 IU/kg of body weight) by subcutaneous injection over two periods of the study.
Screening procedures
Demographic data, Medical history, General physical examination, Family history of Diabetes Mellitus, 12-lead ECG, chest X-ray (PA view), Hematology, Clinical bio- chemistry, Serology, Urine analysis, Tests for alcohol (in breath), Drugs of abuse, Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), HbA1c, PT, APTT & Thyroid function test (TSH, T3 & T4).
Methodology
All subjects will be explained about the study procedures and written informed consent will be obtained from each subject before performing any study related procedure. The subjects will be fully informed of their
responsibilities and of all the procedures involved in the trial, the possible risks and disadvantages of being dosed with Unichem soluble Insulin Injection R 40 IU/mL to Huminsulin R 40 IU/mL, Eli Lilly and company (India) Pvt. Ltd. and heir rights while participating in the trial.
They will have the opportunity to ask questions. If the subjects wish to participate in the trial, they will have to read, sign and date an informed consent form prior to the performance of any study related procedure.
The subjects will be selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.
All the subjects will be admitted in the clinical research unit in the evening prior to the dosing day and fasted for at least 10 hours before dose administration of investigational product.
The trial drugs dose (test or reference product) will be a single dose of 0.3 IU/kg of body weight. The trial products will be administered to the subject while in supine posture by subcutaneous injection in the Para-umbilical skin fold in accordance with the randomization schedule.
Activities, including the glucose Clamp Procedure:
On the day of dosing for each subject, on one hand the subject will be cannulated to collect the blood samples for PK and PD analysis. On the other hand the subjects will be cannulated for intravenous infusion of 20% dextrose solution.
After overnight fasting of 10.00 hours, pre-dose blood samples of 0.3 mL will be collected at -00.50, -00.33 and -00.17 hrs prior to dosing for the determination of base line blood glucose (mg/dl) in each period. Mean blood glucose level (mg/dl) will be calculated from these three pre-dose blood (-00.50, -00.33 and -00.17 hrs) glucose values (mg/dl) for each subject and the mean value minus 5 will be considered as the clamp value for the subject (target clamp range will be ± 3 mg/dl of clamp value) in each period.
If the difference between the lowest pre-dose blood glucose value and the highest pre- dosebloodglucosevalueismorethan5mg/dl,thenthedecisionregardingthe aberrant pre-dose blood glucose value will be decided by the investigator. When the range is found to be beyond 5 mg/dl, a new sample will be collected and estimated for glucose value and clamp value will be calculated by excluding the aberrant pre-dose blood glucose value.
If Initial mean fasting pre-dose blood glucose value (-00.50, -00.33 and -00.17 hrs) is less than 70 mg/dL or Greater than 99 mg/dL then the subject should be withdrawn from the Study.
If difference of initial fasting pre-dose blood glucose value (-00.50, -00.33 and -00.17 hrs) exceed the limit of 10 mg/dL then the subject should be withdrawn from theStudy.
It should be ensured that 20% Dextrose Solution and Insulin Syringe for all the study subjects will be used from same Batch or Lot. The same will also be recorded in the CRF.
Drug Administration:
Prior to dosing, the injection site will be verified and ensured that the site is normal by the Investigator. The injection site will be marked with a waterproof pen prior to dosing followed by single dose of (0.3 IU/kg of body weight in period 1) Test product or Reference product will be on the marked injection site in supine posture by subcutaneous injection in the right or left side of paraumblical skin fold.
Each subject will randomly receive a single dose (0.3 IU/kg of body weight inperiod 1) of test or reference product by subcutaneous injection in each study period as per randomization schedule.
Blood Sampling:
Pharmacokinetic Samples
A total of 28 blood samples will be collected from each subject in pre-specified vacuum tubes containing K3 EDTA in each study period. The pre-dose samples (1×6.0 mL) will be collected at -00.50, -00.33 -00.17 and 00.00 hours before dosing in each study period (00.00 hour PK sample will be taken 05 min before the administration of Investigational Product). The post-dose samples (1×6.0 mL) will be collected at 00.50, 00.75, 01.00, 01.25, 01.50, 01.75, 02.00, 02.25, 02.50, 02.75, 03.00, 03.25, 03.50,
03.75, 04.00, 04.25, 04.50, 05.00, 05.50, 06.00, 07.00, 08.00, 10.00 and12.00hours after dosing in each study period.
Pharmacodynamic Samples
A total of 147 (1×0.3 mL) blood samples will be collected in Lithium Heparin tubes in each study period. After overnight fasting of 10 hours pre-dose samples (1×0.3mL) will be collected at -00.50, -00.33 -00.17 for blood glucose estimation to calculate the target glucose clamp range. The post-dose samples will be collected in in Lithium Heparin tubes for blood glucose estimation, every 5 minutes from the time of dosing till 12 hours post dose or till termination of clamp procedure, by using a blood glucose analyzer [Glucose Analyzer (YSI 2900)]for each subject in each study period.
Safety Parameters
Vital Signs:
Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, heart rate and oral temperature) will be measured before and after check-in, prior to dosing on dosing day and at 02.00, 04.00, 06.00, 08.00, 10.00, 12.00 and 24.00 hours post-dose in each study period. The vital signs measurement will be performed at the time of post-study safety sample collection, if safety sample is not taken at the time of last blood draw of the study. Subject will be connecting to the patient monitor prior to dosing and continued till the termination of the clamp procedure.
All these measurements (except check-in day and pre-dose vital signs examinations) will be completed within  01.00 hour of the scheduled time so as not to interfere with scheduled blood sampling times. The actual time of measurement will be recorded in the CRF.
ECG Monitoring;
12-Lead ECG monitoring will be done prior to dosing on dosing day, after termination of clamp procedure of each study period and during post study safety analysis.
Well-being:
Subjects will be asked about their well-being before and after check-in, prior to dosing on dosing day and approximately at 02.00, 04.00, 06.00, 08.00, 10.00, 12.00 and 24.00 hours post-dose in each study period. In addition, at all times, subjects may report side effects spontaneously to the monitoring staff. The same will also be recorded in the CRF. The enquiry of wellbeing will be done at the time of post-study safety sample collection, if safety sample is not taken at the time of last blood draw of the study.
Local tolerability Assessment:
Assessment of injection site will be performed for each subject at 02.00, 04.00, 06.00, 08.00, 10.00 and 12.00 hours post-dose in each study period.
This assessment will be completed within 15 minutes of the scheduled time so as not to interfere with scheduled blood sampling times. The actual time of assessment will be recorded in the CRF.
Post glucose clamp measurements:
After 12.00 hours post dose glucose clamp will be terminated for each subject in each period and fresh juice will be provided to the subjects and if, required blood glucose level will be measured in Glucose Analyzer (YSI 2900) as per Investigator’s discretion. Then subjects will be provided with a study meal. After the consumption of meal Blood glucose level will be measured using Accu-Chek Glucometer for safety reasons.
