Brief Summary:
This study in healthy volunteers aims to demonstrate similar PK and PD properties of the new human biphasic insulin, Julphar Insulin 30/70 and an already approved reference insulin, Huminsulin® Profil III. All participants will receive both study treatments on two separate dosing days.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus Drug: human biphasic insulin Drug: human biphasic insulin, reference Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Daily injections of insulin is a necessity for many patients with diabetes mellitus in order to treat hyperglycaemia. Julphar Insulin 30/70 and Humininsulin® Profil III are both biphasic insulins, i.e. consist of a mixture of short-acting soluble insulin and intermediate-acting isophane insulin. The new insulin, Julphar Insulin 30/70, is biosimilar to Huminsulin® Profil III. Demonstration of similar absorption (PK) and effects (PD) are necessary to achieve market approval of Julphar Insulin 30/70.

  9. PD: tGIR.max, time to maximum glucose infusion rate [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
  10. PD: Onset of action, time from trial product administration until blood glucose concentration has decreased at least 5 mg/dL from baseline [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]
    baseline is defined as the mean of blood glucose levels from -6, -4, and -2 minutes before trial product administration as measured by the glucose clamp device

  11. Adverse events [ Time Frame: from the first trial drug administration until the final examination ]
    Through study completion, approx.up to approx. 39 days for each subject and up to 6 month for total study duration..

  12. Local tolerability findings [ Time Frame: dosing period, approx.up to 39 days for each subject ]

    at the injection site. Through study completion,

    The local tolerability at the injection site will be evaluated by means of the following assessments:

    • spontaneous pain
    • pain on palpation
    • itching
    • erythema
    • oedema
    • induration/infiltration
    • other Each of these assessments will be reported on a scale of 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The evaluation and the actual time of the assessment will be recorded.

  13. Laboratory safety parameters [ Time Frame: from screening until final examination, approx.up to 60 days for each subject ]
    Including haematology, biochemistry and coagulation including serology (only at screening) parameters. Through study completion,

  14. Physical examination findings [ Time Frame: from screening until final examination, approx.up to 60 days for each subject ]
    Through study completion,

  15. Changes in vital signs [ Time Frame: from screening until final examination, approx.up to 39 days for each subject ]
    Through study completion,

  16. Changes in Electrocardiogram recordings [ Time Frame: from screening until final examination, approx.up to 60 days for each subject ]
    Through study completion,
