NCT01648218 ↗ Insulin Therapy for Post-transplant Glucocorticoid Induced Hyperglycemia Terminated Vancouver General Hospital Phase 4 2012-08-01 No consensus guidelines exist for management of post-transplant glucocorticoid induced hyperglycemia, but most published reviews recommend insulin as first line therapy. A variety of insulin regimens have been proposed, including mealtime short-acting regular or analog insulin, once daily neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin, pre-mixed insulin, or basal insulin alone such as glargine or detemir. However, no randomized trial has ever examined different insulin regimens to determine which most effectively controls post-transplant steroid-induced hyperglycemia. Consequently, the proposed study intends to examine three commonly used insulin regimens used for managing post-transplant once-daily glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia to determine which is most effective: - Group 1: Intermediate-acting (NPH) insulin at breakfast - Group 2: Short-acting insulin (regular or aspart) before meals - Group 3: Insulin glargine at breakfast Question/Hypothesis: Among three commonly used insulin regimens, which is most effective for managing post-transplant once-daily glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia?

Insulin Aspart: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Introduction to Insulin Aspart

Insulin aspart, a rapid-acting human insulin analog, is designed to lower postprandial blood glucose levels. It is effective when administered immediately before a meal and is characterized by its rapid onset and shorter duration of action compared to traditional human insulin[5].

Clinical Trials and Efficacy

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties

Clinical trials have shown that insulin aspart has a faster absorption profile compared to human insulin. The substitution of proline with aspartic acid at position B28 reduces the tendency to form hexamers, leading to quicker dissociation into active monomers. This results in a faster onset of action, typically within 10-20 minutes, and a maximum effect between 1-4 hours after injection. The duration of action can last up to 24 hours[1].

Comparative Studies

In clinical trials, insulin aspart has been compared to biphasic human insulin. These studies have shown that insulin aspart can achieve lower postprandial glucose increases and fewer hypoglycemic episodes. However, the overall rates of hypoglycemia did not differ significantly between insulin aspart and human insulin. Additionally, insulin aspart demonstrated equal control of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) compared to biphasic human insulin in some trials, although other studies showed slightly higher HbA1c levels with insulin aspart[1].

Pediatric and Special Populations

The pharmacokinetics of insulin aspart have been investigated in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, showing rapid absorption similar to adults, but with varying maximum concentrations (Cmax) that highlight the need for individual titration. However, the pharmacokinetics in elderly patients or those with impaired renal or liver function have not been extensively studied[1].
