Antibody Response to Inhaled Insulin in Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes. An Analysis of Initial Phase II and III Inhaled Insulin (Exubera) Trials and a Two-Year Extension Trial
2005
Objective: To compare antibody responses to inhaled human insulin vs. sc human insulin and to determine whether insulin antibody binding is associated with adverse clinical consequences. Research Design and Methods: Insulin antibody data from initial phase II/III trials were analyzed comparing the efficacy and safety of inhaled insulin with various agents, including sc insulin. Additionally, data from a 24-month extension of the phase III studies were examined. Data were pooled into the following three groups based on insulin treatment status at baseline: patients with type 1 diabetes, and patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin and not using insulin at baseline. Ig class analysis was also performed on randomly selected sera from type 1 patients at the end of the initial trials. Results: In the initial trials, greater insulin antibody binding was observed in patients receiving inhaled insulin vs. sc insulin. The greatest antibody responses to inhaled insulin were observed in patients with type 1 diabe...
