A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, In-patient Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of REMD-477 Following a Single Dose in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate safety,
tolerability and pharmacodynamics of REMD-477 in subjects who have Type 1 diabetes and are
currently receiving insulin treatment. This proof of concept study will determine whether
glucagon receptor blockade using a single dose REMD-477 can improve short-term glucose
homeostasis in people with Type 1 diabetes.
tolerability and pharmacodynamics of REMD-477 in subjects who have Type 1 diabetes and are
currently receiving insulin treatment. This proof of concept study will determine whether
glucagon receptor blockade using a single dose REMD-477 can improve short-term glucose
homeostasis in people with Type 1 diabetes.
The study will be conducted at two sites in the United States, and approximately 20 subjects
with type 1 diabetes will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical
research unit, to carefully monitor blood glucose; and establish the baseline insulin
requirement for maintaining targeted normoglycemia (postabsorptive: 90-120 mg/dL; and
postprandial: <180 mg/dL).
The patients will then be subjected to a hyperglycemic period (250-300 mg/dL) by a stepwise
reduction in insulin infusion. After receiving a single SC dose of REMD-477 or matching
placebo in a double-blinded fashion, all subjects will be assessed for the post-treatment
24-hour insulin requirement needed to maintain targeted normoglycemia (postabsorptive:
90-120 mg/dL; and postprandial: <180 mg/dL); and to be monitored closely for safety,
tolerability and targeted glycemic control, for a 48-hr period. After the in-patient
residency period, subjects will return to the clinic for weekly out-patient safety follow-up
visits for 8 weeks.

screening;

system (e.g. DexCom) throughout the entire study;
- ALT and/or AST within <1.5x ULN at screening;
- Serum amylase and lipase within normal limits at screening;
- Able to provide written informed consent approved by an Institutional Review Board
(IRB).
Exclusion Criteria:
- History or evidence of clinically-significant disorder or condition that, in the
opinion of the Investigator, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with
the study evaluation, procedures, or completion;
- Significant organ system dysfunction (e.g., clinically significant pulmonary or
cardiovascular disease, anemia [Hemoglobin <10.0 g/dL], and renal dysfunction [eGFR
<90 ml/1.73M2/min]);
- Any severe symptomatic hypoglycemic event associated with a seizure or requiring help
from other people or medical facility in the past 6 months;
- Current or recent (within 1 month of screening) use of diabetes medications other
than insulin;
- Use of steroids and/or other prescribed or over-the-counter medications that are
known to affect the outcome measures in this study or known to influence glucose
metabolism;
- Smokes tobacco;
- Known sensitivity to mammalian-derived drug preparations, recombinant protein-based
drugs or to humanized or human antibodies;
- History of illegal drug use or alcohol abuse within the last 6 months or a positive
drug urine test result at screening;
- History of pancreatitis, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or multiple endocrine
neoplasia;
- History of pheochromocytoma, or family history of familial pheochromocytoma;
- Known or suspected susceptibility to infectious disease (eg, taking immunosuppressive
agents or has a documented inherited or acquired immunodeficiency);
- Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies, hepatitis B surface
antigen (HbsAg), or hepatitis C antibodies (HepC Ab);
- Participation in an investigational drug or device trial within 30 days of screening
or within 5 times the half-life of the investigational agent in the other clinical
study, if known, whichever period is longer;
- Blood donor or blood loss >500 mL within 30 days of Day 1;
- Women who are pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding;
- Regular exercise >120 min/week within 14 days of Day 1;
- Unable or unwilling to follow the study protocol or who are non-compliant with
screening appointments or study visits;
- Family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia.
Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
