Pharmacological action

Insulin glulisine is a recombinant human insulin analog, which is the power of action is normal human insulin. Insulin glulizin starts to act faster and has less duration, than soluble human insulin.

The most important effect of insulin and insulin analogues, including insulin glulizin, is regulation of glucose. Insulin decreases the concentration of glucose in the blood, stimulating the absorption of glucose perifericescimi tissues, especially skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, and inhibiting glucose production in the liver. Insulin inhibits lipolysis in mainly, inhibits proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis. Research, carried out in healthy volunteers and patients with diabetes mellitus, shown, that when s/to the introduction of insulin glulizin starts to act faster and has less duration, than soluble human insulin. When s/to the introduction of gipoglikemicescoe effect of insulin glulizina begins 10-20 m. When in/with the introduction of the effects of lowering blood glucose insulin glulizina and soluble human insulin are equal in strength. One unit of insulin glulizina has the same gljukozoponizhajushhuju activity, that and one unit of soluble human insulin.

Phase I study in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 gljukozoponizhajushhie insulin glulizina profiles were evaluated and soluble human insulin, introduced subcutaneously at a dose of 0.15 U/kg at different times relative to the standard 15-minute meal. The results showed, What is insulin injected for glulizin 2 minutes before meals provided the same glycemic control after eating, that and the soluble human insulin, entered for 30 minutes before meals. In the introduction for the 2 minutes before mealtime insulin glulizin provided the best glycemic control after eating, than soluble human insulin, entered for 2 minutes before meals. Insulin glulisine, entered through the 15 minutes after the start of the meal gave the same glycemic control after eating, that and the soluble human insulin, the input for the 2 minutes before meals.

Obesity

Study of phase I , conducted with insulin glulizinom, insulin lizpro and soluble human insulin from a group of obese patients, demonstrated, these patients have insulin glulizin keeps its characteristics of quick action. In this study, time to reach 20% from the total AUC was 114 minutes for insulin glulizina, 121 minutes for insulin and lizpro 150 min for soluble human insulin, (a) the AUC(0-2 no), reflecting also an early gljukozoponizhajushhuju activity, respectively, was 427 mg/kg for insulin glulizina, 354 mg/kg for insulin lizpro, and 197 mg/kg for soluble human insulin.

Clinical studies

Diabetes 1 type

In the 26-minute weekly phase III clinical study, which compared insulin glulizina insulin lizpro, vvodivshimisja subcutaneously shortly before eating (for 0-15 m) Patients with diabetes mellitus 1 type, use as a basal insulin insulin glargine, insulin glulizin was comparable with insulin lizpro in regard to Glycemic Control, which was estimated by the change in the concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) at the time of the study endpoint versus outcome. Experienced comparable blood glucose values, determined by self-monitoring. With the introduction of insulin glulizina in contrast to insulin treatment did not take lizpro increase dose of basal insulin.

12-week-long clinical study phase III, conducted in patients with diabetes mellitus 1 type, treated as basal insulin glargine therapy, found, that the effectiveness of insulin glulizina directly after a meal was comparable with that in the introduction of insulin glulizina immediately before the meal (for 0-15 m) or soluble human insulin (for 30-45 minutes before eating).

In the patient population, complied with the study protocol, in the Group of patients, received before meal insulin glulizin, more reliably observed reduction in HbA1C compared to patients, treated with soluble human insulin.

Diabetes 2 type

26-Tee week clinical study phase III followed him 26-minute weekly continuation in the form of a study on security was held for comparison of insulin glulizina (for 0-15 minutes before meals) with soluble human insulin (for 30-45 minutes of the meal), imposed p/c in patients with diabetes mellitus 2 type, Besides use as a basal insulin insulin isophane. The average body mass index of patients was 34.55 kg / m2. Insulin glulizin showed himself to be comparable with soluble human insulin on changes of concentrations of Hbas1C through 6 months of treatment compared with the outcome of the (-0.46% for insulin and glulizina -0.30% for soluble human insulin, r = 0.0029) and by 12 months of treatment compared with the outcome of the (-0.23% for insulin and glulizina -0.13% for soluble human insulin, distinction not authentically). In this study, most patients (79%) mixed his insulin, a short-acting insulin-izofanom immediately before injection. 58 at the time of randomization patients used oral gipoglikemicakie preparations and got a instructions for the continuation of their admission in the same (unmodified) dose.

Race and gender

In controlled clinical trials in adults did not show differences in safety and efficacy of insulin glulizina in a subgroup analysis, selected race floor.

 

Pharmacokinetics

Insulin glulizine substitution of the amino acid asparagine at position B3 human insulin on lysine and lysine in position B29 on glutamic acid helps faster absorption.

Absorption and distribution

AUC in healthy volunteers and patients with diabetes mellitus 1 and 2 type demonstrated, that absorption of insulin glulizina compared with soluble human insulin was approximately 2 times faster, and (C) achievedmax was approximately 2 times.

The study, conducted in patients with diabetes mellitus 1 type, After p/to the introduction of insulin glulizina dose 0.15 U/kg Cmax was 82 ± 1.3 mkED/ml achieved within 55 m, compared to Cmax, component of 46 ± 1.3 mkED/ml and dostigajushhejsja within 82 m, for soluble human insulin. Average commuting time systemic blood insulin glulizina have been shorter (98 m), than the soluble human insulin (161 m).

In a study in patients with diabetes mellitus 2 After p/to the introduction of insulin glulizina dose 0.2 U/kg Cmax was 91 mkED/ml (from 78 to 104 mkED/ml).

When s/to the introduction of insulin glulizina in the region of the anterior abdominal wall, hip or shoulder (in the area of the deltoid muscle) absorption was quicker with the introduction in the region of the anterior abdominal wall, compared with the introduction of the drug in the thigh area. The removals of the deltoid area was staging. The absolute bioavailability of insulin glulizina after s/to the introduction was approximately 70% (73% from the area of the anterior abdominal wall, 71 from the field of deltoid muscle and 68% of the thigh) and have a low variability in different patients.

Distribution and excretion

Distribution and excretion of insulin glulizina and soluble human insulin after the on/in the introduction are similar, with Vd, components 13 and l 22 l, and T1/2, components 13 and 18 m, respectively.

After p/to the introduction of insulin glulizin is displayed faster, than soluble human insulin, having seemingly T1/2, component 42 m, compared to the seeming T1/2 soluble human insulin, component 86 m. Cross-analysis studies of insulin glulizina, in healthy individuals, and in patients with diabetes mellitus 1 and 2 type, seems T1/2 ranged from 37 to 75 m.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

In a clinical study, held in individuals without diabetes with a wide range of functional condition of kidneys (CC > 80 ml / min, 30-50 ml / min, < 30 ml / min), in General, the speed of onset of effect of insulin glulizina continued. However, the need for insulin in the presence of renal failure can be reduced.

In patients with impaired liver pharmacokinetic performance isn't studied.

There are very limited data on the pharmacokinetics of insulin glulizina in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of insulin glulizina have been investigated in children (7-11 years) and adolescents (12-16 years) diabetic 1 type. In both age groups insulin glulizin rapidly absorbed from tmax and Cmax similar to those of adults. As in adults, in introducing directly before the test with meal insulin glulizin provides the best control of blood glucose after a meal, than soluble human insulin. Increasing the concentration of glucose in the blood after eating (AUC0-6 no) was 641 mg /(h × DL) for insulin and glulizina 801 mg /(h × DL) for soluble human insulin.

Side effect

Gipoglikemiâ – the most frequent undesirable effects of insulin therapy, that can occur if you apply too high doses of insulin, exceeding requirement in it.

Observed in the clinical trials adverse reactions, associated with the introduction of the drug, listed below are the systems and organs in order of decreasing frequency. When describing the frequency of occurrence of the following criteria are used: Often – > 10%; often – > 1% and < 10%; sometimes – > 0.1% and < 1%; rarely – > 0.01% and < 0.1%; rarely – < 0.01%.

Metabolism: Often – gipoglikemiâ. Symptoms gipoglikemii usually occur suddenly. However, usually amid violations nejroglikopenii psycho-neurological (feeling tired, unusual fatigue or weakness, decreased ability to concentrate, drowsiness, visual disturbances, headache, nausea, confusion or its loss, convulsions) preceded by adrenergic symptoms kontrreguljacii (activation of the sympathoadrenal system in response to hypoglycemia): hunger, irritability, nervous agitation or tremor, anxiety, pale skin, “cold” sweat, tachycardia, expressed palpitation (Hypoglycemia develops faster and harder than she, the more pronounced the symptoms of adrenergic counterregulation).

Attacks of severe hypoglycemia, especially repetitive, can lead to shock the nervous system. Episodes long and expressed hypoglycemia may endanger patients' lives, as at increasing Hypoglycemia is possible even fatal.

Local reactions: often – local reactions of hypersensitivity (hyperemia, swelling and itching at the injection site). These reactions are usually transitory and disappear during continued treatment; rarely – lipodystrophy (as a result of a breach of alternating seats insulin in any of the areas/introduction of the drug at the same place/).

Allergic reactions: sometimes – hives, chest tightness, bronchospasm, atopic dermatitis, itch. Severe cases of generalized allergy (including anaphylactic) It can be life-threatening.

 

Contraindications

- Gipoglikemiâ;

-increased sensitivity to insulino glulizinu or any of the components of the drug.

FROM caution It should be used during pregnancy.

 

Pregnancy and lactation

In appointing the drug during pregnancy, you should be careful. Mandatory careful monitoring of blood glucose. Not enough information on the use of insulin glulisine in pregnant women. Clinical data on the use of insulin glulizina during pregnancy are not available.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (incl. gestational) necessary during pregnancy to maintain optimal glycemic control. In the first trimester of pregnancy may decrease the need for insulin, and in II and III trimestrah it, usually, may increase. Immediately after delivery insulin requirement rapidly declining.

IN experimental studies reproduction, no differences between the influence of the use of insulin and glulizina human insulin during pregnancy, development of the embryo and fetus, rodы and development postnatalynoe.

During the period of lactation (breast-feeding) may require correction doses of insulin and diet.

 

Cautions

Transfer the patient to a new type of insulin or insulin another manufacturer must be used under strict medical supervision, tk. the dose may need to be modified due to changes in the concentration of insulin, brand (Manufacturer), types of insulin (Instant, insulin-izofan etc.), types of insulin (Animal) and/or method of production. Besides, may require correction of concomitant oral hypoglycemic therapy. The use of inadequate doses or discontinuation of insulin treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus 1 type, It can lead to the development of hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis – states, which are potentially life threatening.

Time, through which develops hypoglycemia, depends on the speed of onset of effect used insulin and, concerning, may change when the treatment regimen. For conditions, that can change or make less pronounced harbingers of hypoglycemia, relate: the prolonged existence of diabetes, intensification of insulin therapy, the presence of diabetic neuropathy, taking certain medications, such as beta-blockers, or transfer of the patient from animal insulin to human insulin.

Correction doses of insulin may also be required in the case of, If patients are increasing physical activity or alter his usual routine of mealtimes. Exercise stress, performed immediately after a meal, may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Compared with soluble human insulin after injections of insulin analogues in force quickly hypoglycaemia can develop before.

Nekompensirovannыe gipoglikemicheskaя or giperglikemicheskaя reactions Mughals hello k Potter soznaniя, coma or death.

The need for insulin may be altered when diseases or emotional overload.

 

Overdose

Symptoms: There are no specific data on overdose of insulin glulizina; may develop hypoglycemia of varying degrees of severity.

Treatment: episodes of mild Hypoglycemia may be treated using admission glucose or products, containing sugar. Therefore, we recommend that you, patients with diabetes constantly had pieces of sugar, candy, biscuits or sugary fruit juice. Episodes of severe hypoglycemia, during which the patient loses consciousness, may be cropped in/m or m/to the introduction 0.5-1 mg glukagona or in/with the introduction dekstrozy (Glucose). If the patient does not respond to glucagon during introduction 10-15 m, You must also enter the dextrose/in. After regaining consciousness, we recommend that you give the patient the carbohydrates inside to prevent the recurrence of hypoglycemia. After the introduction of glucagon to determine the cause of this severe hypoglycemia and prevent the development of other similar episodes, the patient should be observed in the hospital.

 

Drug Interactions

Research on farmakokineticheskomu drug interaction drug is not conducted. Based on available empirical knowledge of other similar drugs the occurrence of clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction unlikely. Some substances may affect glucose metabolism, that may require insulin dose adjustment and particularly close monitoring glulizina therapy and the patient's condition.

When combined oral hypoglycemic agents, ACE inhibitors, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, MAO inhibitors, pentoxifylline, propoksyfen, salitsilatы and sulyfanilamidnыe protivomikrobnыe means Mughals usilivaty gipoglikemicheskoe insulin action and povыshaty predraspolozhennosty k gipoglikemii.

At joint application Valium, danazol, diazoksid, Diuretic, Isoniazid, phenothiazines, somatropin, sympathomimetic (eg, Epinephrine/adrenaline/, salbutamol, terbutaline), thyroid hormones, Estrogens, progestins (eg, oral contraceptives), protease inhibitors and antipsychotic drugs (eg, olanzapine and clozapine) may reduce the hypoglycemic effect of insulin.

Beta-blockers, klonidin, lithium salts or ethanol, or may potentiate or weaken the hypoglycemic effect of insulin. Pentamidine may cause hypoglycemia followed by hyperglycemia c.

When using products with sympatholytic activity (beta-blockers, klonidin, guanethidine and reserpine) Symptoms reflex adrenergic activation during hypoglycemia may be less pronounced or absent.
