About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety of a new U500 insulin formulation and to determine how rapidly it is absorbed and how long it takes to act when administered intraperitoneally. The trial will be conducted in people with Type 1 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug safe and tolerable when administered intraperitoneally? How fast is it absorbed, and how long does it take to act? Researchers will compare the investigational product (PI-U500) with Humulin R U500 administered intraperitoneally and Lyumjev U100 administered subcutaneously. Participants will undergo a 12-hour clamp procedure in which their blood glucose will be maintained stable via glucose infusion at variable rates after a single intraperitoneal injection of the insulin formulation.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Type 1 Diabetes, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 25 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Subjects who meet all the following criteria at Screening will be included in the study: 1. Subjects ≥18 to ≤60 years of age at the time of signing the willing to sign a consent form. 2. Subjects diagnosed with T1DM for at least 12 months. 3. Subjects who have been using an approved insulin pump or use MDI with basal and bolus insulin (stable use for 3 months). 4.

Male subjects must be surgically sterile, abstinent or if engaged in sexual relations of child-bearing potential, the subject and his partner must be using acceptable methods of contraception. 10. Has venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling. 11. Capable of giving signed willing to sign a consent form and willing to follow study procedures and commitment to the study duration. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study: 1. A subject who has proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy (based on records/documentation of ophthalmologic exam within 18 months of Screening or ophthalmologic exam during Screening), severe gastroparesis, and/or severe neuropathy, in particular autonomic neuropathy, as judged by the Investigator. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
