E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary aim of the study is to compare the effects of self-administered 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo (during postprandial hypoglycaemia) on CGM-assessed time spent in hypoglycaemia in RYGB-operated individuals in an out-patient setting. |
Studiets primære formål, er at sammenligne virkningerne af selvadministreret 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo (under postprandial hypoglykæmi) på CGM-vurderet tid tilbragt i hypoglykæmi hos fritlevende RYGB-opererede individer. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary aims are to evaluate the effects of self-administered 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo on CGM-assessed incidences of serious hypoglycaemia (<3.0 mmol/l), blood glucose (BG) recovery, symptomatic recovery, glucose peak and nadir concentrations and glycaemic variability compared to placebo treatment. Moreover, we aim to examine the effects of dasiglucagon treatment on hypoglycaemic symptoms, fear of hypoglycaemia and quality of life (QoL) using standardised questionnaires. |
Sekundære mål, er at evaluere virkningerne af selvadministreret 120 µg dasiglucagon versus placebo på CGM-vurderede forekomster af alvorlig hypoglykæmi (<3,0 mmol / l), blodglukose (BG) genopretning, symptomatisk opsving, glukose peak og nadir koncentrationer og glykæmisk variation sammenlignet med placebobehandling. Desuden tilstræber vi at undersøge virkningerne af behandling med dasiglucagon på hypoglykæmiske symptomer, frygt for hypoglykæmi og livskvalitet (QoL) ved hjælp af standardiserede spørgeskemaer. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the percentage of time in hypoglycaemia (IG <3.9 mmol/l) assessed by CGM during the out-patient part.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
After all patients have completed the study and samples are analysed. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints during out-patient part: • Recovery of BG 15 minutes after administration (as measured by finger prick (BG >3.9 mmol/l)) • Change in QoL as assed by EORTC-QLQ-PAN26 • Change in hypoglycaemic symptoms will be evaluated after dosing by Edinburgh Hypoglycaemia Symptom Scale (EHSS) • Change in fear of hypoglycaemia as assessed by Hypoglycaemia Fear Scale • Change in administration frequency (as measured by percentage)
All the following in-patient part endpoints refers to the difference between placebo- and treatment arm (dasiglucagon 120 µg). Secondary endpoints from the in-patient part of the study are:
• The key secondary endpoint of the in-patient part is the mean nadir plasma glucose compromised three concurrently glucose measurements during the 240-minute MMT • Recovery of BG 15 minutes after administration (as measured by finger prick (BG >3.9 mmol/l)) • Time spent in level 1 and level 2 hypoglycaemia (<3.9 and <3.0 mmol/l, respectively) from study drug administration until 240 minutes • Glycaemic rescue intervention due to critically low plasma glucose concentration (<1.8 mmol/l) • Time spent in hyperglycaemia (>7.8 mmol/l, respectively) from study drug administration until 240 minutes • Peak plasma glucose concentration after study drug administration • Changes in plasma / serum concentrations of insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide 1, glucagon-like peptide 2, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, epinephrine, norepinephrine, growth hormone and cortisol measured as area under the curve (AUC) and / or incremental (iAUC) as appropriate, peak values and values at nadir plasma glucose concentration • Changes in heart rate and blood pressure
Safety endpoints include: • Frequency and severity of adverse events (AE)s and serious adverse events (SAE)s during the in-patient part MMTs and the out-patient part • Percentage (%) of subjects with treatment-induced or treatment-boosted anti-dasiglucagon antibodies
Device endpoint: • Device failures/ malfunctions occurring during the trial.
