Details and patient eligibility

About

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). This trial will compare the changes in HbA1c after 26 weeks of inhaled insulin or rosiglitazone treatment, both in combination with metformin and glimepiride.

Full description

The decision to discontinue the development of AERx® is not due to any safety concerns. An analysis concluded that fast-acting inhaled insulin in the form it is known today, is unlikely to offer significant clinical or convenience benefits over injections of modern insulin with pen devices.
