comparative wockhardt's glucose clamp study-human isophane susp 30iu/ml/70iu/ml with novolin70/30, in healthy subjects

Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

Summary: the aim of this trial is to demonstrate bioequivalence of wosulin 70/30 to novolin® 70/30 with regard to its total and to its maximum serum insulin concentrations.

the purpose of this study is is to test for bioequivalence based on auc0-24h and cmax between wosulin 70n/30r and novolin 70/30.the study also compares the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles as well as assessing safety and local tolerability of the two insulin preparations in healthy subjects.
