  1. Type 1 Diabetes:2012 and Beyond Tom Blevins MD Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology Austin, Texas

  2. Stem Cell Breakthrough • In a breakthrough that signifies a move toward a cure for type 1 diabetes, Australian researchers have identified stem cells in the pancreas that can be turned into insulin-producing cells.... • Identified and isolated stem cells from the adult pancreas, and then developed a way to coax them into insulin-producing cells that can secrete insulin in response to glucose. • 2012

  3. BCG • In the study, six insulin-dependent adults with type 1 diabetes received either two doses of BCG or two fake vaccinations. • In the three patients who received the vaccine: • "Bad" anti-insulin T cells began dying off. • New "good" regulatory T cells increased. • There were signs of new, albeit temporary, insulin production from pancreatic beta cells. • The vaccine was safe.

  4. Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Type 1 Diabetes • (Nov, 2012) — A study led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has found a correlation between vitamin D3 serum levels and subsequent incidence of Type 1 diabetes. • The six-year study of blood levels of nearly 2,000 individuals suggests a preventive role for vitamin D3 in this disease.

  5. Quest to prolong the action of insulin • 1930’s-- development of protamine zinc insulin • Lente, NPH, and ultralente were developed as suspensions to prolong action by delaying absorption • Glargine and detemir were developed to prolong subcutaneous absorption by altering amino acid structure (glargine) or adding fatty acylated side chains (detemir)

  6. “Ideal” Basal Insulin • The “ideal” longer acting insulin may be expected to • Reduced variability • Lower risk of hypoglycemia, • Reduce the need for twice-daily injections • Provide minimal peak activity • Restore physiologic distribution of the 2-fold portal to systemic insulin levels • Subcutaneous systemic absorption results in similar portal and systemic levels • With current insulins, reduced hepatic insulin action must be balanced with excess peripheral insulin action to maintain glucose homeostasis.

  7. Basal Insulins in Development

  8. Insulin Degludec-Novel Basal Insulin • Forms a depot of soluble multi-hexamers at the injection site • Half-life of ~25 hours and a consistent glucose-lowering effect of >42 hours

  16. Prandial (Pre-meal) Insulin

  17. Injected Prandial InsulinRapid Actingor Very Rapid Acting (Warp Speed?)

  18. Do We Need Ultrafast Insulin? • Current analog insulin is slower than the physiologic prandial insulin response of healthy individuals • Typical time to peak insulin concentration is 45-60 minutes for healthy subjects vs. 60-100 minutes for analog prandial insulin • Tail of insulin action is longer than physiologic response and leads to 3- 6 hour post meal hypoglycemia (including nocturnal hypoglycemia) • Prandial control is elusive for even “well-controlled” patients • Majority of patients fail to achieve Post-Prandial Glucose (PPG) goals • Current analog insulin requires approximately 15-20 minutes meal delay

  19. Hyaluronin and Hyaluronidase • Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid) Structure/Function • Until the late 1970s, hyaluronan was described as a "goo" molecule, a ubiquitous carbohydratepolymer that is part of the extracellular matrix • Large (Mega Dalton), repeating sugar polymer found in interstitial tissues • Forms barrier to bulk fluid flow in interstitial space • Human body turns over more than 5 grams/day (1/3rd of total body pool) • Hyaluronidase Mechanism of Action • Catalyzes the rapid depolymerization of hyaluronan • Locally-acting, transient removal of the hyaluronan barrier to enhance the dispersion of coinjected drugs • Rapid dispersion enhances insulin dissociation kinetics and accelerated absorption into the systemic circulation SC administered drug depot rHuPH20 disperses SC administered drugs

  20. Pharmacokinetic Results • The three marketed rapid acting analog insulins have similar time exposure profiles Morrow et al. ADA oral presentation 2010

  21. Pharmacokinetic Results • Faster In (Primary Endpoint): • With rHuPH20 insulin exposure in the 1st hour was 191%, 229%, and 246% of control for glulisine, lispro and aspart, respectively(all P< 0.0001) • Faster Out: • Insulin exposure after 2 hours decreased by 43%, 54%, and 57% for PH20 coinjection with glulisine, lispro and aspart, respectively (all P< 0.0001) Morrow et al.

  26. Is Hypoglycemia a Challenge? • Do some of your adults or children with diabetes suffer from: • Hypoglycaemia Unawareness? • Nocturnal Hypoglycaemia? • Or a fear of Hypoglycaemia?

  27. Medtronic MiniMed Guardian® REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring System How to Address this Challenge? • Current Therapy Options • CSII vs MDI • Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) • Advanced Therapy Options • Sensor-augmented Pumps • Automatic Insulin Shut-off Mechanism

  32. The Road to Closing the Loop

  33. The Road to Closing the Loop • Low Glucose Suspend • Predictive low glucose • High glucose bolus • Predictive high glucose bolus • True closed loop

  34. How Does Low Glucose Suspend Work? • User settable: On/Off • Range: Trigger at <50 mg/dl • Fictional illustration of Low Glucose Suspend function in use • Suspends insulin infusion for a 2-hour period • All other sensor functions and alerts remain operational during insulin suspension

  35. Low Glucose Suspend is the first component of the closed loop • Reduces the severity of hypoglycemia • Complements the CGM alerts • Provides an additional safety measure for an unresponsive patient

  42. Studies Done at Here in Austin at Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology • Basal Insulin • Degludec • Basal insulin lispro (BIL) • Rapid, pre-meal insulin (warp speed) • Halozyme • Biodel • Insulin pump-LGS (low glucose suspend)

  43. Studies- ongoing or coming up for Type 1’s • Sanofi U300- Lantus pen • Concentrated insulin, lower volume • 3 units for every 1 traditional unit • Halozyme- Insulin pump with very rapid acting insulin • Eli Lily BIL basal insulin flex dosing • Given in the am or pm-flat profile • Liraglutide in Type 1’s • The agent that lowers glucose and glucagon with weight loss in Type 2 diabetes • Novo Degludec • Long acting, basal insulin with flat profile.

  44. “Smart Insulin” • “Smart Insulin” works via competitive binding • insulin (orange lines), attached to a sugar group (orange hexagons), binds with a sugar-binding molecule (blue circle) in solution. • When glucose (blue hexagons) in the body is high, it competes with insulin to bind to the sugar-binding molecules, displacing insulin and releasing it into the bloodstream as needed
