Phase 1 Study to Explore the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of DAPAglifozin in Adolescents and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Dapagliflozin has been effective at lowering glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C) in subjects with tpye 2 diabetes (T2DM), when studied as monotherapy as well as in combination with insulin or oral anti-diabetic medications.This lead to investigations if this therapy would also be of benefit in type 1 diabetes as intensive insulin therapy is associated with glucose fluctuations, hypoglycemia, weight gain, and subsequent insulin resistance, all of which may reduce efficacy. The purpose of the pilot study is to collect clinical data on the HbA1c-dependent effect of a single-dose of 10mg dapagliflozin on the insulin dose administered intravenously during a glucose-infusion and an oral mixed-meal for the ensuing 24 hours with blood glucose kept between 160 - 220 mg/dl. The first objective is to investigate the degree of insulin dose reduction 24 hours after a single dose of 10mg dapagliflozin in patients with type 1 diabetes Further objectives are to investigate the effect on urinary glucose excretion if this effect is influenced by baseline glycemic control if dapagliflozin influences postprandial insulin need if dapagliflozin is associated with elevated ß-hydroxybutyrate levels PK after oral administration of 10mg dapagliflozin

Detailed Description
-----------------
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability, particularly with regard to hypoglycemia and ketone development, following once daily oral dose of 10 mg of dapagliflozin administered in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) as a single dose as well as pharmacokinetics (PK) for 18 hours of treatment. The study aimed to patients who have different degrees of inadequate glycemic control despite insulin use. Approximately 36 subjects will be screened in order to randomize 10 patients in each different HbA1C category. The trial will consist of six visits: a screening visit (Visit 1), two dosing visits (Visit 2 and Visit 4), two phone visits (Visit 3 and Visit 5) and a follow-up visit (Visit 6). Furthermore, an information visit will take place prior to the screening visit in order to obtain patient's informed consent. Screening will take place 2-21 days prior to Visit 2 and the follow-up visit will take place 5-21 days after the end of Visit 4. The dosing visits will be separated by a wash-out period (5-30 days between the end of Visit 2 and begin of Visit 4) during which the subjects will resume their normal insulin treatment. Each phone visit (Visit 3 and Visit 5) will take place 3-5 days after the end of dosing Visits 2 and 4. The planned total duration of the trial is 18-78 days per subject (rescheduled visits excluded). Each subject will be randomised to a treatment sequence consisting of two treatment periods in which the subjects will receive dapagliflozin and placebo on two separate dosing visits. Subjects metabolic control will be achieved by a variable i.v. infusion of human insulin by an infusion pump. The procedure will be used in order to aim and maintain blood glucose levels between 160 and 220 mg/dl thereby being in the range of the urinary threshold of glucose. The fluid infusion and insulin dosing scheme will depend on body weight (BW) and blood glucose (BG) levels. Two standardized mixed-meals will be given 6 hours and 12 hours after dosing. Blood glucose measurements will be performed every 15min for 120min after the mixed-meal. Blood samples for determination of dapagliflozin concentration in serum will be taken 18times in 24hours as well as every urine sample will be collected for 24 hours after dosing for the determination of 24hour urinary glucose and creatinine for efficacy measurement. After conclusion of the trial the documented insulin doses over time will be summed up for calculation of the total insulin dose and the insulin dose per kg body weight per 24 hours. Separate calculations will be done for the overnight period pre-dosing, six hours after dosing, two hours prior and after the first and second Standard Meal and until the end of the visit.
