E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |

The secondary objective is to compare the glycemic response observed after dasiglucagon with that of GlucaGen. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects will be entered into this trial only if they meet all of the following criteria:
1. Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities (trial-related activities are any procedure that would not have been performed during normal management of the subject).
2. Female or male subjects with T1DM for at least 1 year, diagnostic criteria as defined by the American Diabetes Association (3).
3. Treated with insulin for T1DM for at least 1 year and with stable insulin treatment (defined as no more than a 10-unit daily variation in total daily insulin dose) 30 days prior to screening
4. Hemoglobin A1c <10%.

7. A male subject must meet the following criteria: Surgically sterilized or willing to refrain from sexual intercourse from screening and until last follow-up visit or, if sexually active, uses condom and partner practices contraception during the trial from screening and until last follow-up visit. |

8. Receipt of any investigational drug within 3 months prior to screening.
9. Active malignancy within the last 5 years.

13. Known presence or history of pheochromocytoma (i.e. adrenal gland tumor) or insulinoma (i.e. insulin secreting pancreas tumor).
14. Use of a daily systemic beta-blocker drug, indomethacin, warfarin or anticholinergic drugs in the previous 28 days before Day 1 of this trial.
15. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >2.5 × the upper limit of the normal range (ULN), bilirubin >1.5 × ULN, estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study definition (16), or altered electrolyte values of clinical relevance for cardiac conduction, as judged by the investigator.
16. Clinically significant abnormal ECG at screening as judged by the investigator.
17. Clinically significant illness within 4 weeks before screening, as judged by the investigator.
18. Donation of blood or plasma in the past month, or in excess of 500 mL within 12 weeks prior to screening.
19. Surgery or trauma with significant blood loss within the last 2 months prior to screening.

21. Subjects with mental incapacity or language barriers which preclude adequate understanding or cooperation, who are unwilling to participate in the trial, or who in the opinion of the investigator should not participate in the trial.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Time to plasma glucose recovery. Plasma glucose recovery is defined as first increase in plasma glucose of ≥20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) from baseline during the hypoglycemic clamp procedure without administration of rescue IV glucose. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The plasma glucose profile for evaluation of the primary and secondary clinical efficacy endpoints will be assessed based on plasma concentration data (AUC0-30min) from samples collected at the dosing visit (Visit 2). Samples will be collected pre-dose, and at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, and 90 minutes after dosing |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key Secondary end point:
1. Plasma glucose recovery within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after study drug injection without administration of rescue IV glucose.
2.Plasma glucose changes from baseline within 30 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 15 minutes, and within 10 minutes after study drug injection or at the time of rescue. |

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The plasma glucose profile for evaluation of the primary and secondary clinical efficacy endpoints will be assessed based on plasma concentration data (AUC0-30min) from samples collected at the dosing visit (Visit 2). Samples will be collected pre-dose, and at 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, and 90 minutes after dosing |
