About

This study will test the hypothesis that micro-doses of Xerisol Glucagon (Xeris Pharmaceuticals) will be non-inferior by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic criteria vs. micro-doses of Glucagon for Injection (Eli Lilly).

Full description

This study will test the hypothesis that micro-doses of a new formulation of stable glucagon, Xerisol Glucagon (Xeris Pharmaceuticals), will be non-inferior by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic criteria vs. micro-doses of a freshly reconstituted formulation of glucagon that has poor stability in solution, Glucagon for Injection (Eli Lilly).

Ages

21 to 80 years old

Volunteers

No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 21 to 80 years old with type 1 diabetes for at least one year.
  • Diabetes managed using an insulin infusion pump using rapid-acting insulin such as insulin aspart (NovoLog), insulin lispro (Humalog), and insulin glulisine (Apidra) for at least one week prior to enrollment.

Exclusion criteria

  • Unable to provide informed consent.
  • Unable to comply with study procedures.
  • Current participation in another diabetes-related clinical trial that, in the judgment of the principle investigator, will compromise the results of the clamp study or the safety of the subject.
  • Pregnancy (positive urine HCG), breast feeding, plan to become pregnant in the immediate future, or sexually active without use of contraception.
  • End stage renal disease on dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).
  • Hemoglobin < 11.5 gm/dl.
  • History of pheochromocytoma. Fractionated metanephrines will be tested in patients with history increasing the risk for a catecholamine secreting tumor (paroxysms of tachycardia, pallor, or headache; personal or family history of MEN 2A, MEN 2B, neurofibromatosis, or von Hippel-Lindau disease; episodic or treatment of refractory hypertension, defined as requiring 4 or more medications to achieve normotension).
  • History of adverse reaction to glucagon (including allergy) besides nausea, vomiting, or headache.
  • Inadequate venous access as determined by study nurse or physician at time of screening.
  • Liver failure or cirrhosis.
  • Any other factors that, in the judgment of the principal investigator, would interfere with the safe completion of the study procedures.
