Information source: Mannkind Corporation
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on November 03, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Asthma; Diabetes Mellitus

Intervention: Technosphere Insulin Inhalation Powder (Drug); Salbutamol (Albuterol) (Drug); Methacholine chloride (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Mannkind Corporation

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Anders H. Boss, Study Chair, Affiliation: Mannkind Corporation

Summary

This study will compare the rate and extent of absorption of TI Inhalation Powder in subjects with asthma and subjects with normal lung function. 24 eligible subjects will be enrolled into the treatment phase of the trial.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics After Administration of Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder Alone and With Salbutamol (Albuterol) and/or After Methacholine Challenge Testing in Subjects With Asthma Versus Matched Healthy Subjects Without Asthma

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Parallel Assignment, Pharmacokinetics Study

Primary outcome: AUCF 0-360 min of serum insulin

Detailed description: Visit 1 screening will determine eligibility and obtain informed consent. At visit 2, 3 and 4 subjects inhale 1 dose of 45U TI Inhalation Powder. At visit 3 subjects inhale 2 puffs (200mcg) Albuterol prior to dosing. Only asthmatic subjects undergo visit 4 where a methacholine challenge test (MCT) is performed followed by inhalation of Albuterol then administration of TI Inhalation Powder. Each visit's dosing will occur during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. Visit 5 is the follow up visit.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: 55 Years. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

Non smoking male and female subjects = 18 and = 55 years of age with BMI = 34 kg/m2 Fasting blood glucose (FBG) < 110 mg/dL (6. 1 mmol/L). Written informed consent Asthmatic Subjects: Clinical diagnosis of asthma along with defined reversibility from pre- to post-bronchodilator spirometry.

Pulmonary Function Testing for Asthmatic subjects: FEV1 > 70% (NHANES III), TLC >70% (ITS), Dlco >80% (Miller) Non-asthmatic healthy subjects: FEV1 > 80% (NHANES III), FEV1/FVC > LLN (NHANES), TLC >80% (ITS), Dlco >80% (Miller), no significant improvement from pre- to post-bronchodilator spirometry.

Exclusion Criteria:

Unable and/or unlikely to comprehend how to use the investigational device in this study or to follow study instructions Change in asthma therapeutic regimen from Screening through visit 5 Exacerbation of asthma within 8 weeks prior to Screening History of diabetes mellitus Previous exposure to any inhaled insulin product other than TI inhalation Powder or similar formulation Inability to perform PFT maneuvers meeting recommended American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards of acceptability and repeatability criteria Any clinically important pulmonary disease Major organ system diseases including seizures, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, cancer within the past 5 years, aneurysm, liver disease, anemia or autoimmune disorder Clinically significant abnormalities on screening laboratory evaluation Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant during the clinical trial period or not practicing adequate birth control
