Details and patient eligibility

About

This trial is conducted in Asia, Europe and Oceania. The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy of adding inhaled preprandial insulin to glimepiride compared to adding rosiglitazone to glimepiride for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and to verify its safety (hypoglycaemia, pulmonary function, body weight, insulin antibodies and side effects)

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.
