Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Objective: To review clinical studies using recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) to increase insulin dispersion and accelerate its absorption.Methods: Ten clinical studies are reviewed.Results: In 4 euglycemic clamp studies, rHuPH20 coinjection consistently accelerated insulin absorption, providing twice the insulin exposure in the first hour, greater and earlier peak exposure, and half the exposure beyond two hours following injection. Insulin action profiles were similarly accelerated with a 15-20 minute faster onset of insulin action and a 45 minute shorter duration of action for each of the three commercial rapid-acting insulin analogs. rHuPH20 coadministration accelerated insulin absorption and action over infusion set life when delivered by pump. rHuPH20 coadministration reduced the inconsistency of insulin absorption and action profiles due to three processes: reproducibility of identical injections, differences in insulin dose, and over infusion site life. This more consistent ultrafast profile consistently reduced hyperglycemic excursions both when injected immediately preceding liquid test meals and in bolus infusions immediately before solid test meals. rHuPH20 facilitated insulin administration has been well tolerated with a safety and tolerability comparable to the comparator insulin alone.Conclusions: rHuPH20 meaningfully accelerates insulin action profiles with an extent that is comparable to the difference between rapid analog profiles and those of regular insulin. Studies are currently underway to characterize the effect on diabetes management endpoints, including A1C, blood glucose, and hyperglycemia rates, of analog insulins coformulated with rHuPH20 for the management of both type-1 and type-2 diabetes.
