Clinical Trial Summary

MKC-TI-191 is a Phase 4, single-arm, multicenter, proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Afrezza, administered according to the current Afrezza prescribing information (PI) compared to a titrated dose, in combination with a basal insulin in adult subjects (≥18 years of age) with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Eligible subjects will be on a stable regimen consisting of a basal bolus insulin therapy prior to screening. The study is composed of up to 4 clinic visits (screening, 2 treatment visits, and a follow-up visit). Two individual doses of Afrezza will be administered during a meal challenge at Visits 2 and 3. The duration of each subject's participation in the trial is expected to be approximately 2 weeks.

Description:

Screening (Visit 1): Informed consent and California Experimental Subjects Bill of Rights will be signed and eligibility confirmed. Eligible subjects will be enrolled at Visit 1.

Subjects will come into the clinic in a fasting state for a meal challenge and individual dose of Afrezza during Visits 2 and 3. At the beginning of each visit, before their dose of Afrezza, subjects will have FEV1 measurements taken in the clinic. Each meal challenge will consist of 1 to 2 bottles of nutritional shake to be fully consumed within 15 minutes. The nutritional shake will contain approximately 240 calories, 41 g carbohydrate, 10 g protein, and 4 g fat per bottle. Each Afrezza dose will be administered at the start of the meal challenge.

Visit 2: The first dose of Afrezza will be based on the dose of subcutaneous (SC) rapid-acting analogue (RAA) insulin that the subject would normally take, converted according to the guidelines provided in the current Afrezza prescribing information. If subject's normal RAA dose is <4 units or 5 units, subject will be asked to consume enough nutritional shake, per their normal I:C ratio, to cover an RAA dose of 4 units or ≥6 units such that their Afrezza dose at Visit 3 is higher than the dose taken at Visit 2. After completing the standardized meal challenge, the Investigator will decide, based on the subject's glucose excursion at Visit 2, if the subject should proceed to Visit 3 where a second dose of Afrezza will be administered.

Visit 3: The second dose of Afrezza will be based on the dose of SC RAA that the subject would normally take, converted by multiplying their RAA dose by 2 and rounding down to the nearest Afrezza cartridge size.

Follow-up Visit (Visit 4): Subjects will return for safety assessments, including a final FEV1 measurement, 24 to 72 hours after their last dose of Afrezza.

Eligibility

Subjects will be asked to provide a recent negative COVID-19 test (if available), confirm they have no symptoms of COVID-19, or provide evidence of COVID-19 vaccination.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects =18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form

2. Clinical diagnosis of T1DM or T2DM (per the Investigator) and on a stable basal-bolus insulin regimen

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or any other clinically important pulmonary disease (e.g., cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia), use of any medications to treat such conditions within the last year, or significant congenital or acquired cardiopulmonary disease

2. History of serious complications of diabetes (e.g., active proliferative retinopathy or symptomatic autonomic neuropathy)

3. On dialysis

4. Respiratory tract infection within 14 days before screening (subject may return 14 days after resolution of symptoms for rescreening)

5. Treatment with any investigational drug in the past 30 days or an investigational device in the past 2 weeks

6. Any disease other than diabetes or initiation of any new medication that, in the judgment of the Investigator, could have a direct impact on glycemic control during the study

7. Use of antiadrenergic drugs (e.g., beta blockers and clonidine)

8. Any concurrent illness (other than diabetes mellitus) not controlled by a stable therapeutic regimen

9. History of a significant eating disorder (e.g., anorexia or bulimia nervosa)

10. Current drug or alcohol abuse or a history of drug or alcohol abuse that, in the opinion of the Investigator or the Sponsor, would make the subject an unsuitable candidate for participation in the study

11. History of smoking (includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping devices, and marijuana) in the 6 months before screening

12. Female subject who is pregnant, breastfeeding, intends to become pregnant, or is of child-bearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive methods as required by local regulation or practice (may include sexual abstinence)

13. An event of severe hypoglycemia, as judged by the Investigator, within the 90 days before screening

14. An episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requiring hospitalization within the 90 days before screening

15. Exposure to Afrezza in the 30 days before screening

Intervention

Combination Product:
• Afrezza Dose 1
The first dose of Afrezza will be based on the dose of subcutaneous rapid-acting analogue (RAA) insulin that the subject would normally take for the standardized meal, converted according to the guidelines provided in the current Afrezza U.S. prescribing information.
• Afrezza Dose 2
The second dose of Afrezza will be based on the dose of subcutaneous rapid-acting analogue that the subject would normally take for the standardized meal, converted by multiplying their RAA dose by 2 and rounding down to the nearest Afrezza cartridge size.
