Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the trial is to demonstrate superiority of dasiglucagon compared to placebo following a single subcutaneous dose administered to subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Additionally to compare the glycemic response observed after administration dasiglucagon with that of GlucaGen®.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a global, multicenter, randomized, parallel, and double-blind clinical trial confirming the efficacy and safety of dasiglucagon for insulin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with T1DM. The patients were randomized 2:1:1 to receive a single subcutaneous 0.6 mg dose of dasiglucagon, placebo, or a 1 mg dose of GlucaGen and followed for at least 28 days after receiving treatment.
