Hirsch at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Florence on March 8th. INHALE-3 is a Phase 4 U.S. clinical trial evaluating inhaled insulin (plus basal) vs. standard of care. The statistically significant findings included: Subjects utilizing inhaled insulin experienced significantly reduced post-meal hyperglycemia, compared with those who used subcutaneous rapid-acting analogues (RAA) delivered by MDI or pumps Area under the curve (AUC; 180 mg/dL) was reduced by 20% Inhaled insulin subjects demonstrated significantly lower glucose excursions from baseline Mean glucose excursions were reduced by 22% In the inhaled insulin group, mean glucose levels peaked 15 minutes sooner than in the standard of care group despite inhaled insulin being given at start of the meal vs. RAA being administered 5-15 minutes prior to the meal “Clinician have been seeking options for people living with diabetes in hopes of identifying treatments that provide improved mealtime control,” said Dr. Hirsch, Professor of Medicine and Diabetes Treatment and Teaching Chair at the University of Washington and the INHALE-3 Study Protocol Chair. “It is exciting to share data from this study’s standardized meal challenge, demonstrating inhaled insulin can help address this unmet need.” The 17-week endpoint results from INHALE-3 will be presented Saturday, June 22, during a symposium at the American Diabetes Association’s 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando. “One of the challenges of inhaled insulin adoption has been unde...
