Type 1 diabetes

A co‐formulation of pramlintide and insulin A21G ( ADO09 ) improves postprandial glucose and short‐term control of mean glucose, time in range, and body weight versus insulin aspart in adults with type 1 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

In comparison with aspart, ADO09 was well tolerated and effective in T1D across a wide range of dosage, significantly improving the average blood glucose level and body weight during 24 days of ambulatory treatment. Meal test profiles confirmed improvement of glycaemic patterns and other responses with ADO09.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D using ≤40 U bolus insulin per day (LD, n = 28) or 40–75 U (HD, n = 16)LD n = 28
Comparison
Prandial ADO09 vs insulin aspart over 24 days
Primary endpoint
Glucose increments from 0 to 4 h after mixed-meal-tolerance test
Follow-up
End of treatment (24 days)
