comparison of exposure and activity of sar341402 mix 70/30 to novolog mix 70/30, novomix 30 and sar341402 rapid-acting solution in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes

Summary: primary objectives: * to demonstrate similarity in exposure of sar341402 mix 70/30 to novolog mix 70/30 and novomix 30 (cohort 1). * to demonstrate distinctiveness in early and intermediate exposure of sar341402 mix 70/30 compared to sar341402 rapid-acting solution (cohort 2). secondary objectives: * to demonstrate similarity in activity of sar341402 mix 70/30 to novolog mix 70/30 and novomix 30. * to demonstrate distinctiveness in early and intermediate activity of sar341402 mix 70/30 compared to sar341402 rapid-acting solution. * to assess the safety and tolerability of sar341402 rapid-acting solution and sar341402 mix 70/30.

* cohort 1: the total study duration for a screened patient will be about 3 - 8 weeks (excluding screening), with screening period of 4 to 28 days, 3 treatment periods of 2 days each period, washout period of 5 to 18 days, and end-of-study visit at 5 to 12 days after last imp administration. * cohort 2: the total study duration for a screened patient will be about 2 - 5 weeks (excluding screening), with screening period of 4 to 28 days, 2 treatment periods of 2 days each period, washout period of 5 to 18 days, and end-of-study visit at 5 to 12 days after last imp administration.
