Brief Summary:

The original protocol was a randomized, open-label, 3-way cross-over study with 9 scheduled visits. The visits comprised an initial screening visit, 3 treatment visits for the meal challenge followed by a 2-6-week blood-loss recovery period, an interim safety visit, 3 sequential visits for the glucose clamp, and a final close-out visit.

Protocol Amendment 1 was a randomized, open-label, 2-way cross-over study with 7 visits for each completed subject. The visits comprise an initial screening visit, 2 treatment visits for the meal challenge followed by a 2-6-week blood-loss recovery period, an interim safety visit, 2 sequential visits for the glucose clamp, and a final close-out visit.

For both the original protocol and Protocol Amendment 1, subjects were hospitalized in the clinical unit for all procedures.

Detailed Description:

The original protocol was a randomized, open-label, 3-way cross-over study with 9 scheduled visits. The visits comprised an initial screening visit, 3 treatment visits for the meal challenge followed by a 2-6-week blood-loss recovery period, an interim safety visit, 3 sequential visits for the glucose clamp, and a final close-out visit.

After review of the meal challenge data from the Original Protocol design, it became apparent that the TI Inhalation Powder, insulin lispro, and Exubera doses were not well matched, and resulted in significantly higher insulin exposure following insulin lispro than the two inhaled treatments. All meal challenge visits were completed for the 18 subjects enrolled. However, the glucose clamp visits were discontinued since it was discovered that a direct comparison between the treatments was not possible.

The protocol was amended (Amendment 1) to ensure that the insulin exposures between TI Inhalation Powder and insulin lispro were more suited (increased the TI Inhalation Powder doses and decreased the insulin lispro dose). An Exubera arm was not included in Amendment 1 due to the market removal of this product.

Protocol Amendment 1 was a randomized, open-label, 2-way cross-over study with 7 visits for each completed subject. The visits comprise an initial screening visit, 2 treatment visits for the meal challenge followed by a 2-6-week blood-loss recovery period, an interim safety visit, 2 sequential visits for the glucose clamp, and a final close-out visit.

For both the original protocol and Protocol Amendment 1, subjects were hospitalized in the clinical unit for all procedures.

• Any hospitalization or emergency room visit due to poor diabetic control within 6 months of Screening
• Severe complications of diabetes
• Previous exposure to any inhaled insulin product
• Currently using an insulin delivery pump
• Allergy or known hypersensitivity to insulin or to any of the drugs to be used in the trial
• Any clinically important pulmonary disease, confirmed by documented history, pulmonary function testing, or radiologic findings

• Uncontrolled hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of >160 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mm Hg at screening, despite pharmacologic treatment
• Clinical nephrotic syndrome or renal dysfunction or disease
• Cancer (other than an excised cutaneous basal cell carcinoma) within the past 5 years or any history of lung neoplasms
• History of active viral and/or cirrhotic hepatic disease and/or abnormal liver enzymes
• Active infection eg, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis, or history of severe infection within 30 days of Screening
• Anemia
• A previous diagnosis of systemic autoimmune or collagen vascular disease requiring prior or current treatment with systemic corticosteroids, cytotoxic drugs or penicillamine
• Any concurrent illness, other than diabetes mellitus not controlled by a stable therapeutic regime
• Current or previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy that may result in pulmonary toxicity
• Clinically significant abnormalities on screening laboratory evaluation

• Female subjects of childbearing potential (defined as pre-menopausal and not surgically sterilized or post-menopausal for less than 2 years) not practicing adequate birth control.
• Current drug or alcohol abuse, or a history of drug or alcohol abuse, that, in the opinion of the PI, would not make the subject a suitable candidate for participation in the clinical trial
