Clinical Trial Summary

We hypothesize that insulin glulisine is non-inferior to currently proven rapid-acting insulin lispro when used in a basal/bolus regimen to treat hyperglycemia in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.


Description:

To date, only two rapid-acting insulin analogs have been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy: insulin aspart and insulin lispro.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of insulin glulisine are unique and insulin glulisine may be the best rapid-acting analog for the treatment of post-prandial hyperglycemia. We believe that insulin glulisine should be evaluated in women with gestational diabetes for its potential efficacy.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
NPH
Long acting insulin NPH dosing will be titrated weekly derived from the patients current weight and gestational age
Insulin LISPRO
Insulin lispro dosing will be titrated weekly based on the patient's average SMBG readings from each meal during the past three days
Insulin glulisine
Insulin glulisine will be titrated weekly based on the patient's average SMBG readings from each meal during the past three days

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Compare incidence of birth weight >90th percentile delivery
Other Compare incidence of primary cesarean section delivery
Primary show that insulin glulisine is non-inferior to insulin lispro in a basal/bolus regimen to treat hyperglycemia in patient with gestational diabetes mellitus compare average 1-hour post prandial SMBG measurements between patients randomized to insulin glulisine or insulin lispro week 4 of insulin treatment
Secondary Serum blood glucose area under the curve (AUC) at one 4-hour in-clinic meal challenge patients will come to the study site under fasting conditions and eat a standardized meal in the morning post administration of insulin NPH and their randomized bolus insulin. week 2 of insulin treatment
Secondary Compare A1C at enrollment and weekly until delivery A1C is measured weekly at each pregnancy visit up to 26 visits. Subjects are enrolled at 20-32 weeks gestation and have weekly visits to obtain A1C through delivery, and again at the 6-week postpartum visit. up to 36 weeks
Secondary Compare incidence of hypoglycemic episodes <60 mg/dL with symptoms Hypoglycemic episodes since the last visit will be reported at each pregnancy visit, usually weekly, from enrollment at 10-30 weeks gestation through delivery and at the 6-week postpartum visit if continuing to take insulin. up to 36 weeks
