Brief Summary

Primary Objective: To assess the pharmacodynamic response (PD) of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of SAR438544 versus recombinant glucagon in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients under induced hypoglycemia. Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single SC dose of SAR438544 versus recombinant glucagon in T1DM patients under induced hypoglycemia.

Conditions

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Time to reach a smoothed blood glucose of 70 mg/dL after initial administration of investigational medicinal product

  Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (13)

• Assessment of PD parameter: continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels over a period of 6 hours post-dose

  Day 1

• Assessment of PD parameter: area under plasma concentration of the BG-time curve between IMP dosing and time t (BG-AUC0-t)

  Day 1

• Assessment of PD parameter: BG-maximum concentration (BG-Cmax)

  Day 1

• Assessment of PD parameter: BG-time to Cmax (BG-tmax)

  Day 1

• Assessment of PK parameter (recombinant glucagon and SAR438544): Cmax

  Day 1

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Male or female patients, between 18 and 60 years of age, inclusive, with T1DM for at least one year, as defined by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
• Total (basal+short acting) daily insulin dose of \<1.2 U/kg/day.
• Body weight between 50.0 and 110 kg, inclusive, the body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m\^2, inclusive.
• Fasting serum C-peptide \<0.3 nmol/L.
• Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤75 mmol/mol (≤9%).
• Stable insulin regimen for at least 2 months prior to study and self-monitoring of blood glucose before screening visit.
• Certified as otherwise healthy for T1DM by assessment of medical history and physical examination (cardiovascular system, chest and lungs, thyroid, abdomen, nervous system, skin and mucosae, and musculoskeletal system), unless the Investigator considers any abnormality to be clinically irrelevant and not interfering with the conduct of the study.
• Female subject must use a double contraception method, including a highly effective method of birth control, except if she has undergone sterilization defined as tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, and bilateral tubal ligation at least 3 months earlier or is postmenopausal.
• The accepted double contraception methods include the use of intrauterine device or hormonal contraception started at least 30 days prior to the screening start and continued for at least 3 months after IMP dosing in addition to one of the following contraceptive options: (1) condom plus spermicide; (2) diaphragm plus spermicide or cervical/vault cap plus spermicide. Menopause is defined as being amenorrheic for at least 2 years with plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level \>30 UI/L in women older than 40 years of age.
• Having given written informed consent prior to undertaking any study-related procedure.
• Not under any administrative or legal supervision.

You may not qualify if:

• Any history or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular (includes ischemia, atrioventricular (AV) block; arrhythmias), pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, metabolic (apart from T1DM), hematological, neurological, osteomuscular, articular, psychiatric, systemic, ocular, gynecologic (if female), or infectious disease, or signs of acute illness.
• Severe hypoglycemia resulting in coma/seizures or requiring assistance of another person, and/or hospitalization for diabetic ketoacidosis in the last 6 months before screening visit.
• Frequent severe headaches and/or migraine, recurrent nausea and/or vomiting (more than twice a month).
• Symptomatic postural hypotension, irrespective of the decrease in blood pressure (BP), or asymptomatic postural hypotension defined as a decrease in systolic BP ≥20 mmHg within 3 minutes when changing from supine to standing position.
• Presence or history of drug hypersensitivity, or allergic disease diagnosed and treated by a physician.
• Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by the clinical study protocol.
• If female, pregnancy (defined as positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-HCG\] blood test), breast-feeding at screening and before any treatment periods (defined as positive β-HCG urine test).
• Any patient who, in the judgment of the Investigator, is likely to be noncompliant during the study, or unable to cooperate because of a language problem or poor mental development.
• Positive result on any of the following tests: hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag), anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) Abs, anti-human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV1) and anti-HIV2 Abs, and HIV1 Ag.
• Positive result on urine drug screen (amphetamines/methamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates).
• Positive alcohol breath test.
• Known hypersensitivity to glucagon, lactose or any other constituent in GlucaGen\^® HypoKit and SAR438544 or Novolin\^®R and their excipients.
• Any contraindication from the use of glucagon:
• Pheochromocytoma
• Insulinoma and glucagonoma
