Pharmacokinetic (PK), Pharmacodynamic (PD), and Safety Study of Subcutaneously Administered Humalog® With and Without Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20)and Humulin-R® With and Without rHuPH20

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2008-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Humalog (insulin lispro) or Humulin-R (recombinant human insulin) when administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 20 units (U) with or without coadministration of recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20).

The study hypothesizes that the time required to reach maximum insulin concentration (tmax) when insulin is administered with rHuPH20 will be comparable or shorter than the time required without rHuPH20.
