BCPramIns is developed to leverage the beneficial effects of PRAM on post-prandial BG control in a convenient co-formulation with INS. This double-blind, randomized cross-over study investigated pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety of BCPramIns in 24 subjects with T1DM [mean±SD age 41±10 years; BMI 25±2.3 kg/m²; HbA1c 7.2±0.6%] who received fixed doses of 7.5 IU INS and 45 µg PRAM either as a single injection of BCPramIns or separate injections (PRAM+INS) before a mixed meal tolerance test in comparison to 7.5 U insulin lispro (LIS) with BCPramIns, BG excursions in the first 2 hours post-meal were reduced by 97% (p<0.0001) and 82% (NS) compared to LIS and PRAM+INS, respectively (Table). Time to maximum BG was prolonged by BCPramIns compared to LIS and slightly delayed compared to PRAM+INS, (5.00h vs. 3.00h and 4.25h respectively, Table). Insulin exposure was similar between BCPramIns and PRAM+INS (AUCINS_0-6h 87 vs. 86 mU*h/L), indicating no impairment in insulin absorption with BCPramIns. Six adverse events occurred with BCPramIns, 4 with PRAM+INS and 3 with LIS. Hypoglycemia during dosing visit days were balanced between the three treatment groups (4-3-3).

In conclusion, BCPramIns was well tolerated and improved postprandial BG versus LIS.
