More Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Achieved A1C Goal (<7%) After Switching From Multiple Daily Insulin Injections or Automated Pumps to Inhaled Insulin (Afrezza®)
MNKD 09.30.2024
- 30-week results from the Phase 4 INHALE-3 study expand upon the positive 17-week data presented earlier this year at theAmerican Diabetes Association’s 84thScientific Sessions
- Switching to, or remaining on Afrezza allowed twice as many people to get to goal during the extension phase
“The data from the extension phase of this study showed that more people living with T1D are able to reach target A1c levels when they remain on Afrezza (plus basal insulin) or switch to Afrezza from usual care – whether they are using multiple daily injections or pumps,” said
Key Findings:There was continued improvement in the Afrezza (plus degludec)-treated group, with additional subjects achieving A1c <7% at 30 weeks – a 100% increase from baseline:
Switching from usual care to Afrezza (plus degludec) at week-17 allowed more than double the subjects to achieve A1c <7% at week-30, compared to the number at goal at week-17:
“With the positive data received at both 17- and 30-weeks, we continue to affirm that Afrezza is an important option for adult patients managing their diabetes,” said Dr.
About the INHALE-3 StudyThe INHALE-3 study is a 17-week, randomized controlled trial with a 13-week extension conducted across 19 U.S. sites. The study, which enrolled 141 patients (123 randomized), assigned participants over 18 years of age with T1D who are using MDI, an automated insulin delivery system, or a pump without automation to either continue their standard of care or initiate an insulin regimen of a daily basal injection plus Afrezza for boluses (mealtime and corrections). Subjects utilizing Afrezza (inhaled insulin) received a higher initial conversion dose than in the current
The randomized control trial (RCT) included an inhaled insulin group that began with 62 subjects at randomization and 57 at 17 weeks; the usual care group consisted of 61subjects at randomization and 58 at 17 weeks. The17-week resultspreviously shared that the study met its primary efficacy endpoint of a non-inferior change in HbA1c between baseline and week 17 compared to the usual care group. At 17 weeks, those who utilized Afrezza (plus basal insulin) continued with it through the extension phase, and those who were on usual care switched over to Afrezza to week 30. The extension phase started with 45 subjects from the inhaled insulin group and 43 completed the extension; the usual care-to-Afrezza group started with 49 in the extension, with 42 completing. There was no control group in the extension phase. A1c levels were obtained at baseline, 17 and 30-weeks.

Important Safety Information
WARNING: RISK OF ACUTE BRONCHOSPASM IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE
- Acute bronchospasm has been observed in Afrezza-treated patients with asthma and COPD
- Afrezza is contraindicated in patients with chronic lung disease such as asthma or COPD
- Before initiating Afrezza, perform a detailed medical history, physical examination, and spirometry (FEV1) to identify potential lung disease in all patients.
Most common adverse reactions are hypoglycemia, cough, and throat pain or irritation.
