Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Compare, in insulin-naive patients with type 2 diabetes on one or more oral antihyperglycemic medications, a regimen adding mealtime HIIP versus a regimen adding insulin glargine with respect to change in HbA1c from baseline to endpoint.
56 weeks
To compare in patients who at study entry have type 2 diabetes not optimally controlled by one or more oral antihyperglycemic medications plus once daily insulin glargine, a regimen that may include mealtime AIR Insulin.
24 weeks
To test that preprandial AIR Insulin is non-inferior to preprandial injectable insulin (insulin lispro) with respect to mean change in HbA1c from baseline to endpoint.
6 months
To assess acceptance of insulin therapy
9 months
To assess blood sugar control as measured by HbA1c
baseline, 1,3,5,7,9 months
To assess the change in baseline to endpoint in HbA1c in Type II diabetic patients comparing inhaled human insulin to injectable insulin
6 months
To test the hypothesis that the glycemic control achieved with preprandial Human Insulin Inhalation Powder is noninferior to that achieved with injectable insulin, as measured by mean change from baseline to endpoint in HbA1c.
12 months
To assess change in baseline to endpoint in HbA1c in type 1 diabetic patients.
24 months
Mean change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to the end of each treatment period of Primary Phase
24, 48 and 76 weeks after Randomization

Frequently asked questions about Human Insulin

What is Human Insulin?

Human Insulin is an investigational small molecule developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is being studied as an inhaled formulation of insulin, also known as human insulin inhalation powder (HIIP), across a clinical program that has enrolled more than 2,200 patients.

What is Human Insulin used for in diabetes?

Human Insulin is being developed to treat Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Clinical trials have evaluated it in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with the goal of providing glycemic control through an inhaled route of administration rather than injection.

What does Human Insulin target?

Human Insulin targets INSR, the insulin receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. By activating the insulin receptor, it is designed to reproduce the metabolic effects of endogenous insulin in patients with diabetes mellitus who require insulin therapy.

Who is developing Human Insulin?

Human Insulin is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades under the ticker LLY. Lilly has sponsored the clinical trial program evaluating the inhaled human insulin formulation, also referred to as human insulin inhalation powder (HIIP), in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

What phase is Human Insulin in?

Human Insulin is in Phase 3 clinical development and is investigational. Five trials have been completed, including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, and no trials are currently active. The program has enrolled approximately 2,260 participants across randomized, active-controlled studies.

What clinical trials is Human Insulin in?

Completed Human Insulin trials include NCT00490854, a Phase 2 study in type 2 diabetes in Japan; NCT00437112, a Phase 3 comparison with glargine in type 2 diabetes; NCT00356109, a Phase 3 study in type 1 diabetes; and NCT00355849, a Phase 3 study in type 2 diabetes conducted across multiple countries.

Is Human Insulin the same as human insulin inhalation powder?

Yes. Human Insulin is also known as Human Insulin Inhalation Powder, or human insulin inhalation powder (HIIP). These names refer to the same Eli Lilly and Company product candidate, an inhaled formulation of insulin being studied in diabetes mellitus.
