About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Eligibility Criteria

3 Months - 12 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Established and documented diagnosis of CHI based on standard of care
  • Experiencing ≥3 events of hypoglycemia per week (PG <70 mg/dL [<3.9 mmol/L]) according to the investigator's evaluation
  • Previously undergone near-total pancreatectomy or being treated with a non-surgical approach, having been evaluated as not eligible for pancreatic surgery
  • If somatostatin analogues or sirolimus are used, the therapy should be well established as judged by the investigator, especially when considering their biological half-life

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous administration of dasiglucagon
  • Known or suspected allergy to the trial drug or related products
  • Previous participation (randomization) in this trial
  • Circulatory instability requiring supportive medication
  • Requires exogenous insulin
  • Body weight of <4 kg (8.8 lbs.)
  • Documented HbA1c ≥7% subsequent to near-total pancreatectomy and within 6 months prior to screening
  • Known or suspected presence of significant central nervous system disease/injury such that in the investigator's opinion will affect trial participation
  • Use of systemic corticosteroids, e.g., hydrocortisone >20 mg/m2 body surface area or equivalent in the 5 days before screening
  • Use of anti-inflammatory biological agents, or other immune modulating agents in the 3 months prior to screening
  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified on echocardiogram that in the opinion of the investigator would affect the patient's ability to participate in the trial
  • Any recognized clotting or bleeding disorders
  • Has participated in an interventional clinical trial (investigational or marketed product) within 3 months of screening or 5 half-lives of the drug under investigation (whichever comes first), or plans to participate in another clinical trial.
