Efficacy and safety of ultra‐rapid lispro versus lispro in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: The PRONTO‐Peds trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In children and adolescents with T1D, URLi demonstrated good glycaemic control, and noninferiority to lispro in HbA1c change for mealtime and postmeal URLi. When dosed at the beginning of meals, URLi reduced 1-hour PPG and PPG excursions versus lispro.

Study context

Population
Children and adolescents with T1D on pre-study basal insulin (degludec, detemir or glargine), after a 4-week lead-in to optimize basal insulin
Participants
280 / 138 / 298
Comparison
Mealtime and postmeal ultra-rapid lispro vs lispro
  • Mealtime ultra-rapid lispro (URLi)n = 280
  • Postmeal URLin = 138
  • Lispron = 298reference
Primary endpoint
HbA1c change from baseline (noninferiority margin 4.4 mmol/mol [0.4%])
Follow-up
26 weeks
Methodological detailsphase 3, treat-to-target, double-blind (mealtime arms), open-label (postmeal URLi), noninferiority
  • Phase 3
  • Treat-to-target
  • Double-blind (mealtime arms)
  • Open-label (postmeal URLi)
  • Noninferiority

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

HbA1c change from baseline
Noninferior
Each group vs lisproEstimated treatment difference, mmol/mol (95% CI)
Mealtime URLi

Postmeal URLi
−0.17(−2.15 to 1.81)

Further findings

OutcomeP value

Safety

Injection site reaction

Postdose hypoglycaemia (<3.0 mmol/L) at ≤2 hours · Mealtime URLi vs Lispro · rate higher with mealtime URLi
P = 0.034

Severe, nocturnal or documented hypoglycaemia (<3.0 mmol/L [54 mg/dL])

Rate and incidence similar for all treatments

Treatment-emergent adverse events

Incidence similar for all treatments
