    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Comparison of MK-1293 and EU-Approved Lantus Duration of Pharmacodynamic Action During a 30-Hour Euglycemic Clamp Study
    Duration of Action (DOA) is defined as the length of time from dosing to End of Action. End of Action is defined as the time point at which plasma glucose has been above 150 mg/dL for 30 minutes and no glucose has been infused for 30 minutes. Median and max below are reported for the length of clamp duration (i.e. 30 hours).
    PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over 24 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC0-24hr)
    The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from hours 0 to 24 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-24}]) for participants who received either MK-1293 or EU-Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
    PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over the First 12 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC0-12hr)
    The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from hours 0 to 12 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-12}]) for participants who received either MK-1293 or EU-Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
    PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over the Second 12 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC12-24hr)
    The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from hours 12 to 24 after injection (AUC[GIR{12-24}]) for participants who received either MK-1293 or Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
    PD: Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate (GIRmax)
    Maximum glucose infusion rate (GIR[max]) based on smoothed data for participants who received either MK-1293 or EU-Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
    M1 Glargine Metabolite Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC0-24)
    M1 glargine is the dominant circulating glargine-derived insulin metabolite after subcutaneous injection and it is pharmacologically active. AUC0-24 is a measure of the total amount of drug in the plasma from the dose to Hour 24. Analysis was performed on log scale with results back transformed to the original scale
    M1 Glargine Metabolite PK: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
    M1 glargine is the dominant circulating glargine-derived insulin metabolite after subcutaneous injection and it is pharmacologically active. Cmax is a measure of the maximum amount of drug in the plasma after the dose is given. Analysis was performed on log scale with results back transformed to original scale.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    M1 Glargine Metabolite PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve Over the First 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC0-12)
    M1 glargine is the dominant circulating glargine-derived insulin metabolite after subcutaneous injection and it is pharmacologically active. AUC0-12 is a measure of the total amount of drug in the plasma from the dose to Hour 12. Analysis was performed on log scale with results back transformed to original scale.
    M1 Glargine Metabolite PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve Over the Second 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC12-24)
    M1 glargine is the dominant circulating glargine-derived insulin metabolite after subcutaneous injection and it is pharmacologically active. AUC12-24 is a measure of the total amount of drug in the plasma from Hour 12 to Hour 24. Analysis was performed on log scale with results back transformed to original scale.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MK-1293 compared with a basal insulin (EU-Lantus™) in participants with Type 1 Diabetes. The primary hypotheses are that the duration of action, pharmacodynamic profile, and pharmacokinetic profile of MK-1293 and the comparator basal insulin are similar.
