PK/PD Biosimilarity Study of Gan & Lee Insulin Glargine Injection vs.US & EU Lantus® in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Primary objectives:

To demonstrate biosimilarity with regard to the total and maximum pharmacokinetic exposure during one dosing interval (AUC ins. 0-24h, Cins.

max) of Gan \& Lee Insulin Glargine with Lantus® (US RLD / EU RP) in subjects with type 1 diabetes

To demonstrate biosimilarity with regard to the total and maximum pharmacodynamic response during one dosing interval (AUC GIR.0-24h, GIR max) of Gan \& Lee Insulin Glargine with Lantus® (US RLD / EU RP) in subjects with type 1 diabetes

Secondary objectives:

To compare the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of Gan \& Lee Insulin Glargine and of Lantus® (US RLD / EU RP)

To assess the safety and tolerability of Gan \& Lee Insulin Glargine and of Lantus® (US RLD / EU RP)


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Fasting negative C-peptide (\<= 0.30 nmol/L).
* Total insulin dose of \< 1.2 (I)U/kg/day.
* Stable insulin regimen for at least 2 months prior to screening (with respect to safety of the subject and scientific integrity of the trial).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to IMPs or related products
* Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as randomized

* Any history or presence of clinically relevant comorbidity (with the exception of conditions associated with diabetes mellitus), or signs of acute illness, as judged by the Investigator
* Proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy (based on a recent (\<1.5 years) ophthalmologic examination) and/or severe neuropathy, in particular autonomic neuropathy, as judged by the Investigator
* Recurrent severe hypoglycemia (more than 1 severe hypoglycemic event during the past 6 months) or hypoglycemic unawareness as judged by the Investigator
* Increased risk of thrombosis, e.g. subjects with a history of deep leg vein thrombosis or family history of deep leg vein thrombosis, as judged by the Investigator
* Significant history of alcoholism or drug abuse as judged by the Investigator or consuming more than 24 grams alcohol/day
* Symptomatic hypotension or supine blood pressure at screening (after resting for at least 5 min in supine position) outside the range of 90-140 mmHg for systolic or greater than 90 mmHg for diastolic pressure
* Heart rate at rest outside the range of 50-90 beats per minute
* Clinically significant abnormal standard 12-lead ECG after 5 minutes resting in supine position at screening, as judged by the Investigator

* Not able or willing to refrain from smoking and use of nicotine substitute products one day before and during the inpatient period
* Positive to the screening test for Hepatitis Bs antigen or Hepatitis C antibodies and/or a positive result to the test for HIV-1/2 antibodies or HIV-1 antigen
* Any medication (prescription and non-prescription drugs) within 14 days before IMP administration, with the exception of occasional use of Paracetamol or NSAIDs
* Blood donation or blood loss of more than 500 mL within the last 3 months
* Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation
* Fertile male with female partner(s) without using a highly effective contraceptive method in combination with spermicide-coated condoms from the first dosing until 1 month after dosing
