3CONTRAINDICATIONS
Insulin Glargine, U-300 is contraindicated:
- During episodes of hypoglycemia
- In patients with hypersensitivity to insulin glargine or any excipients in Insulin Glargine, U-300
4ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere:
- Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia with Changes in Insulin Regimen
- Hypoglycemia
- Hypoglycemia Due to Medication Errors
- Hypersensitivity Reactions
- Hypokalemia
4.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates actually observed in clinical practice.
The data in Table 1 reflect the exposure of 304 patients with type 1 diabetes to Insulin Glargine, U-300 with mean exposure duration of 23 weeks. The type 1 diabetes population had the following characteristics: Mean age was 46 years and mean duration of diabetes was 21 years. Fifty-five percent were male, 86% were White, 5% were Black or African American, and 5% were Hispanic or Latino. At baseline, the mean eGFR was 82 mL/min/1.73 m
The data in Table 2 reflect the exposure of 1242 patients with type 2 diabetes to Insulin Glargine, U-300 with mean exposure duration of 25 weeks. The type 2 diabetes population had the following characteristics: Mean age was 59 years and mean duration of diabetes was 13 years. Fifty-three percent were male, 88% were White, 7% were Black or African American, and 17% were Hispanic or Latino. At baseline, mean eGFR was 79 mL/min/1.73 m
Insulin Glargine, U-300 was studied in 233 pediatric patients (6–17 years of age) with type 1 diabetes for a mean duration of 26 weeks
Common adverse reactions (occurring ≥5%) in Insulin Glargine, U-300-treated subjects during clinical trials in adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus are listed in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. Common adverse reactions for Insulin Glargine, U-300-treated pediatric subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus were similar to the adverse reactions listed in Table 1. Hypoglycemia is discussed in a dedicated subsection below.
4.2Immunogenicity
As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity.
In a 6-month study of type 1 diabetes patients, 79% of patients who received Insulin Glargine, U-300 once daily were positive for anti-insulin antibodies (AIA) at least once during the study, including 62% that were positive at baseline and 44% of patients who developed antidrug antibody (i.e., anti-insulin glargine antibody [ADA]) during the study. Eighty percent of the AIA-positive patients on Insulin Glargine, U-300 with antibody test at baseline remained AIA positive at month 6.
In two 6-month studies in type 2 diabetes patients, 25% of patients who received Insulin Glargine, U-300 once daily were positive for AIA at least once during the study, including 42% who were positive at baseline and 20% of patients who developed ADA during the study. Ninety percent of the AIA-positive patients on Insulin Glargine, U-300 with antibody test at baseline, remained AIA positive at month 6.
The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay and may be influenced by several factors such as: assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medication, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to Insulin Glargine, U-300 with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.
4.3Postmarketing Experience
The following additional adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Insulin Glargine, U-300. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Localized cutaneous amyloidosis at the injection site has occurred. Hyperglycemia has been reported with repeated insulin injections into areas of localized cutaneous amyloidosis; hypoglycemia has been reported with a sudden change to an unaffected injection site.
5DRUG INTERACTIONS
Table 3 includes clinically significant drug interactions with Insulin Glargine, U-300.
6OVERDOSAGE
Excess insulin administration may cause hypoglycemia and hypokalemia
