Selecting Insulin Analogs for Closed-Loop Control Using Multiplex Pharmacokinetic Profiling
Type 1 Diabetes
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 1 Diabetes focused on measuring Pharmacokinetics
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 years or older with clinical type 1 diabetes for at least five years
- Diabetes managed using an insulin infusion pump and rapid- or very-rapid-acting insulins including insulin aspart (NovoLog), insulin lispro (Humalog), and insulin glulisine (Apidra).
- Ability to consume a sufficient amount of carbohydrates over 2-3 hours to cover 9 units of rapid acting insulin
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unable to provide informed consent
- Unable to comply with study procedures
- Inadequate venous access as determined by study nurse or physician at time of screening.
- Pregnancy
- History of gastric banding, gastric bypass, or other gastrointestinal condition that may prevent a subject from consuming a normal sized meal
- Hemoglobin <13.5 for men, < 12 for women

Multiplex pharmacokinetic profiling
Continuous insulin monitoring
Multiplex pharmacokinetic profiling of regular human insulin, insulin aspart, insulin lispro, insulin glulisine, and regular human insulin. All subjects participated in the single study arm and received injections of each type of insulin. Blood samples were drawn at intervals for pharmacokinetic profiling.
Continuous insulin monitoring (CIM) of insulin lispro. Some subjects participated in the CIM sub-study, which is distinct from the Multiplex Pharmacokinetic Profiling study. This intervention involved administering insulin lispro and monitoring pharmacokinetic profile of the drug using blood samples and an investigational continuous insulin monitoring system.
