Management of diabetic ketoacidosis in children: Does early insulin glargine help improve outcomes?

Article

Author: Clements, Mark ; McDonough, Ryan ; Alonso, G. Todd ; Pyle, Laura ; Ohman‐Hanson, Rebecca

AbstractBackgroundRebound hyperglycemia following the resolution of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is common in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, increasing the risk of recurrent DKA and complicating the transition to subcutaneous insulin. Multiple studies suggest that early administration of long‐acting insulin analogs during DKA management safely improves this transition.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine whether early insulin glargine administration in children with DKA prevents rebound hyperglycemia and recurrent ketosis without increasing the rate of hypoglycemia or hypokalemia.MethodsPatients aged <21 years presenting with DKA to Children's Mercy Kansas City between October 2012 and October 2016 were reviewed. They were categorized as Early (>4 h of overlap with intravenous [IV] insulin) and Late (<2 h of overlap) cohorts.ResultsWe reviewed 546 DKA admissions (365 Early and 181 Late). Rebound hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL) was lower in the Early group (66% vs. 85%, p ≤ 0.0001). Hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) during IV insulin administration was higher in the Early group than in the Late group (27% vs. 19%, p = 0.042). Hypoglycemia within 12 h of IV insulin discontinuation was lower in the Early group (16% vs. 26%, p = 0.012). Recurrent ketosis, hypokalemia, and cerebral edema were not different between the groups.ConclusionsEarly glargine administration in pediatric DKA management is safe, decreases the rate of rebound hyperglycemia, and improves the transition to subcutaneous insulin. Hypoglycemia is less frequent following IV insulin discontinuation with early glargine, but the IV insulin rate may need to be reduced to minimize hypoglycemia during IV insulin infusion.

BackgroundInsulin icodec is a novel, long-acting, once-weekly basal insulin analog. Its comparative efficacy and safety with basal once-daily insulins in type 2 diabetes mellittus is uncertain.ObjectiveEvaluate potential efficacy, benefits and risks associated with icodec compared to once-daily basal insulin analogs (degludec or glargine).MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until June 2023 comparing icodec versus long-acting insulin analogs (degludec and glargine) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with at least 12 weeks of follow-up. Binary endpoints were assessed with risk ratios (RRs) and continuous endpoints were compared using mean differences (MDs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023452468).ResultsA total of seven RCTs and 3286 patients with T2DM were included, of whom 1509 (60.6%) received icodec treatment. The follow-up period ranged from 16 to 78 weeks. Compared with once-daily basal insulin analogs, icodec led to a greater improvement in HbA1c (MD -0.15%; 95% CI -0.21, -0.10; p < 0.0001; I² = 0%) and time in range (TIR) (MD 2.83%; 95%CI 0.94; 4.71; p = 0.003; I² = 22%). Body weight was increased with icodec treatment (MD 0.78 Kg; 95%CI 0.42, 1.15; p < 0.01; I² = 86%). There was also a higher rate of injection site reactions (RR 1.89; 95%CI 1.12, 3.18; p = 0.016; I² = 0%) and nasopharyngitis (RR 1.94; 95%CI 1.11, 3.38; p = 0.020; I² = 0%) in the icodec group, compared with once-daily regimens. There was no significant difference between groups in fasting plasma glucose.ConclusionsIn this meta-analysis of RCTs, insulin icodec led to better control of HbA1c and TIR as compared with once-daily insulin regimens, albeit with increased weight gain and a higher rate of injection site reaction in the Icodec group.

Newer Pharmacologic Treatments in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis for the American College of Physicians

Review

Author: Kalinowski, Caleb ; Langsetmo, Lisa ; Kaka, Anjum ; Landsteiner, Adrienne ; Drake, Tyler ; Wilt, Timothy J ; Anthony, Maylen ; MacDonald, Roderick ; Billington, Charles J ; Sultan, Shahnaz ; Ullman, Kristen

BACKGROUNDNewer diabetes medications may have beneficial effects on mortality, cardiovascular outcomes, and renal outcomes.PURPOSETo evaluate the effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and harms of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, and long-acting insulins as monotherapy or combination therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).DATA SOURCESMEDLINE and EMBASE for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from 2010 through January 2023.STUDY SELECTIONRCTs lasting at least 52 weeks that included at least 500 adults with T2DM receiving eligible medications and reported any outcomes of interest.DATA EXTRACTIONData were abstracted by 1 reviewer and verified by a second. Independent, dual assessments of risk of bias and certainty of evidence (CoE) were done.DATA SYNTHESISA total of 130 publications from 84 RCTs were identified. CoE was appraised using GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) criteria for direct, indirect, and network meta-analysis (NMA); the highest CoE was reported. Compared with usual care, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists reduce all-cause mortality (high CoE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (moderate to high CoE), SGLT2 inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure hospitalizations and GLP1 agonists reduce stroke (high CoE), and SGLT2 inhibitors reduce serious adverse events and severe hypoglycemia (high CoE). The threshold for minimally important differences, which was predefined with the American College of Physicians Clinical Guidelines Committee, was not met for these outcomes. Compared with usual care, insulin, tirzepatide, and DPP4 inhibitors do not reduce all-cause mortality (low to high CoE). Compared with insulin, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists reduce all-cause mortality (low to moderate CoE). Compared with DPP4 inhibitors, GLP1 agonists reduce all-cause mortality (moderate CoE). Compared with DPP4 inhibitors and sulfonylurea (SU), SGLT2 inhibitors reduce MACE (moderate to high CoE). Compared with SU and insulin, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists reduce severe hypoglycemia (low to high CoE).LIMITATIONSInfrequent direct comparisons between drugs of interest; sparse data for NMA on most outcomes; possible incoherence due to differences in baseline patient characteristics and usual care; insufficient data on predefined subgroups, including demographic subgroups, patients with prior cardiovascular disease, and treatment-naive persons.CONCLUSIONIn adults with T2DM, SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists (but not DPP4 inhibitors, insulin, or tirzepatide) reduce all-cause mortality and MACE compared with usual care. SGLT2 inhibitors reduce CKD progression and heart failure hospitalization and GLP1 agonists reduce stroke compared with usual care. Serious adverse events and severe hypoglycemia are less frequent with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists than with insulin or SU.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCEAmerican College of Physicians.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial HighlightsAffimed’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros (€), the Company’s functional and presentation currency. As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled €24.1 million. Based on current operating and budget assumptions, the Company expects that cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated proceeds from its ATM program and the sale of AbCheck, will finance its operations into Q4 of 2025. Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was €11.1 million compared to €18.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decline was mainly due to lower research and development expenditure and personnel expenses. Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was €0.2 million compared with €2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Revenue in 2024 only related to a platform license provided to Genentech and 2023 predominantly related to the Roivant research collaborations for which all work has been completed. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were €10.1 million compared to €21.5 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of lower expenses associated with the development of acimtamig and AFM24, due to a decrease in procurement of clinical trial material, clinical trial costs and manufacturing costs, decrease in head count due to the corporate restructuring. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were €4.3 million compared to €5.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to the decline in headcount, in legal and consulting expenses, insurance expenses and share-based payment expenses. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was €15.1 million, or €0.94 loss per common share compared with a net loss of €24.4 million, or €1.63 loss per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The weighted number of common shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was 16,100,185 shares.

Request a sample and discover the recent advances in the NK cell therapy segment @ NK Cell Therapy Pipeline Report The NK cell therapy pipeline report provides detailed profiles of pipeline assets, a comparative analysis of clinical and non-clinical stage NK cell therapies, inactive and dormant assets, a comprehensive assessment of driving and restraining factors, and an assessment of opportunities and risks in the NK cell therapy clinical trial landscape. NK Cell Therapy Overview Natural Killer (NK) cell therapy is an innovative approach in immunotherapy that harnesses the power of NK cells, a vital component of the innate immune system. Unlike T cells, which require prior sensitization to target cancer cells, NK cells can recognize and kill abnormal cells without prior exposure. This unique ability makes NK cell therapy a promising option for treating various cancers, including hematologic malignancies like leukemia and lymphoma, as well as solid tumors. By isolating and activating NK cells from a patient's blood or using engineered NK cells from healthy donors, researchers aim to enhance the immune response against tumors, leading to improved patient outcomes. Recent advancements in genetic engineering, such as the introduction of chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) into NK cells, are further enhancing their specificity and efficacy against cancer cells. The clinical applications of NK cell therapy are expanding rapidly, supported by a growing body of research and early-phase clinical trials. These studies have shown promising results, demonstrating the ability of NK cell therapy to induce durable remissions in patients with refractory cancers. Furthermore, the off-the-shelf nature of certain NK cell therapies allows for quicker treatment deployment compared to traditional CAR-T cell therapies, which require a personalized approach. Challenges remain, including optimizing NK cell expansion, persistence, and overcoming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, ongoing research into combination therapies, such as pairing NK cell therapy with checkpoint inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies, is expected to enhance the therapeutic potential of NK cells and provide new hope for cancer patients.

Arbutus Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Imdusiran data from IM-PROVE I and IM-PROVE II Phase 2a clinical trials to be presented at upcoming AASLD - The Liver Meeting 2024 Multiple-ascending doses of AB-101 in healthy subjects in the Phase 1a/1b clinical trial were generally safe and well-tolerated with evidence of receptor occupancy Now dosing cHBV patients with AB-101 in Part 3 of the Phase 1a/1b clinical trial Cash runway into the fourth quarter of 2026Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:45 AM ET WARMINSTER, Pa., Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) (“Arbutus” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging its extensive virology expertise to develop a functional cure for people with chronic hepatitis B virus (cHBV) infection, today reports third quarter 2024 financial results and provides a corporate update. “We are making significant progress in advancing the development of imdusiran to bring hope to millions of cHBV patients globally,” said Michael J. McElhaugh, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Arbutus Biopharma. “In June, we shared promising data from our IM-PROVE I Phase 2a clinical trial, showing that some patients treated with imdusiran and interferon were trending towards a functional cure. We look forward to presenting follow-up data from this trial, as well as end-of-treatment data from patients that received nivolumab in addition to imdusiran and VTP-300 in our IM-PROVE II Phase 2a trial, at the upcoming AASLD meeting. Assuming continued positive data, and with a projected cash runway extending into the fourth quarter of 2026, we are well-positioned to advance imdusiran into a Phase 2b clinical trial as a cornerstone in a treatment regimen aimed at functionally curing cHBV.” Mr. McElhaugh continued, “Our proprietary oral PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, AB-101, is progressing well, as we continue to see dose-dependent receptor occupancy and have now advanced into dosing cHBV patients in our Phase 1a/1b clinical trial. We look forward to providing updates as this trial progresses.” Clinical Development Update Imdusiran (AB-729, RNAi Therapeutic) End-of-treatment data from the IM-PROVE I Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of the combination of imdusiran (4 or 6 doses over 24 or 48 weeks, respectively), nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy and a short course of pegylated interferon alfa-2a (IFN, 12 or 24 weeks) in patients with cHBV was presented at the EASL Congress in June. The data showed that 33.3% (n=4/12) of patients in Cohort A1 receiving 48 weeks (6 doses) of imdusiran combined with 24 weeks of IFN and NA therapy achieved HBsAg loss at the end-of-treatment that was maintained in 100% of these patients 24 weeks after completing imdusiran and IFN treatment. HBsAg loss was achieved and maintained in 67% of those patients with HBsAg less than 1000 IU/mL at baseline. A total of six patients from Cohort A1 (n=4) and Cohort A2 (n=2) seroconverted with HBsAg loss. At the time the data was reported, all six of those patients had stopped all therapy, with two of those patients reaching 12 weeks off all therapy with sustained HBsAg and HBV DNA loss. The combination of imdusiran and IFN in this clinical trial was generally safe and well-tolerated. The Company will present a late-breaker poster with additional follow-up data at the upcoming AASLD-The Liver Meeting 2024 later this month. End-of treatment data from the IM-PROVE II Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of imdusiran, NA therapy and Barinthus Bio’s VTP-300, an HBV antigen-specific immunotherapy was presented at the EASL Congress in June. The data showed that the combination of imdusiran and VTP-300 was generally safe and well-tolerated. At 24-weeks post-end of treatment, statistical significance (p<0.05) was achieved in HBsAg levels between the VTP-300 arm (n=5) and placebo (n=6). IM-PROVE II includes an additional cohort of patients who received 4 doses of imdusiran plus NA therapy for 24 weeks followed by VTP-300 plus up to two low doses of nivolumab, an approved anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. The Company will present a late-breaker poster with preliminary end-of-treatment data from this additional cohort at the upcoming AASLD - The Liver Meeting 2024 in November. AB-101 (Oral PD-L1 Inhibitor) AB-101-001 is a Phase 1a/1b double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single- and multiple-ascending oral doses of AB-101 in healthy subjects and patients with cHBV.Part 2 of this clinical trial has enrolled to date two sequential cohorts of ten healthy subjects each receiving 10 mg or 25 mg of AB-101 (n=8) or placebo (n=2) daily for 7 days. AB-101 was generally well-tolerated with evidence of dose-dependent receptor occupancy. In the 25 mg cohort, all subjects showed evidence of receptor occupancy, with seven of the eight subjects demonstrating receptor occupancy greater than 70% during the 7-day dosing period.Arbutus has moved into Part 3 of this clinical trial which evaluates repeat dosing of AB-101 for 28 days in patients with cHBV and expects to report preliminary data in the first half of next year. LNP Litigation Update Expert reports and expert depositions continue in the Moderna lawsuit. A trial date has been set for September 24, 2025, and is subject to the Court’s availability.The lawsuit against Pfizer/BioNTech is ongoing and a date for the claim construction hearing has been set for December 18, 2024.  Arbutus continues to protect and defend its intellectual property, which is the subject of the on-going lawsuits against Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech. The Company is seeking fair compensation for Moderna’s and Pfizer/BioNTech’s use of its patented LNP technology that was developed with great effort and at a great expense, without which Moderna’s and Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccines would not have been successful. Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities of $130.8 million compared to $132.3 million as of December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used $54.5 million in operating activities, which was partially offset by $44.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common shares under its “at-the-market” offering program (ATM Program) and $6.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. The Company did not issue any common shares under its ATM program in the third quarter of 2024. The Company expects its 2024 cash burn to range from $63 million to $67 million. With the organizational changes in the third quarter, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2026. Revenue Total revenue was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $3.4 million was due primarily to: i) a decrease in license revenue recognized under the Company’s licensing agreement with Qilu Pharmaceutical; and ii) a decrease in license royalty revenue from Alnylam due to lower sales of ONPATTRO in 2024 compared to 2023. Operating Expenses Research and development expenses were $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $20.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $5.9 million was due primarily to the discontinuation of the Company’s coronavirus and AB-161 programs in September 2023, along with related headcount reductions. General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $1.3 million was due primarily to decreased employee compensation and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses due to headcount reductions. The Company also incurred a $3.6 million one-time restructuring charge in the third quarter of 2024 related to its decision to cease all discovery efforts, discontinue its IM-PROVE III clinical trial, and reduce headcount to streamline the organization with a focus on advancing the clinical development of imdusiran and AB-101. Net Loss The Company’s net loss was $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $20.1 million for the same period in 2023, with a loss per basic and diluted common share of $0.10 and $0.12, respectively. Outstanding Shares As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately 189.4 million common shares issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company had approximately 18.7 million stock options and unvested restricted stock units outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Roivant Sciences Ltd. owned approximately 21% of the Company’s outstanding common shares as of September 30, 2024.

About Imdusiran (AB-729) Imdusiran is an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic specifically designed to reduce all HBV viral proteins and antigens including hepatitis B surface antigen, which is thought to be a key prerequisite to enable reawakening of a patient’s immune system to respond to the virus. Imdusiran targets hepatocytes using Arbutus’ novel covalently conjugated N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) delivery technology enabling subcutaneous delivery. Clinical data generated thus far has shown single and multiple doses of imdusiran to be generally safe and well-tolerated, while also providing meaningful reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B DNA. Imdusiran is currently in multiple Phase 2a clinical trials.   About AB-101 AB-101 is our oral PD-L1 inhibitor candidate that we believe will allow for controlled checkpoint blockade while minimizing the systemic safety issues typically seen with checkpoint antibody therapies. Immune checkpoints such as PD-1/PD-L1 play an important role in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance and in T-cell activation. Preclinical data generated thus far indicates that AB-101 mediates re-activation of exhausted HBV-specific T-cells from cHBV patients. We believe AB-101, when used in combination with other approved and investigational agents, could potentially lead to a functional cure in patients chronically infected with HBV. AB-101 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial. About HBV Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV can cause chronic infection which leads to a higher risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer. Chronic HBV infection represents a significant unmet medical need. The World Health Organization estimates that over 250 million people worldwide suffer from chronic HBV infection, while other estimates indicate that approximately 2.4 million people in the United States suffer from chronic HBV infection. Approximately 820,000 people die every year from complications related to chronic HBV infection despite the availability of effective vaccines and current treatment options. About Arbutus Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging its extensive virology expertise to develop novel therapeutics with distinct mechanisms of action, which can potentially be combined to provide a functional cure for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (cHBV). We believe the key to success in developing a functional cure involves suppressing HBV DNA, reducing surface antigen, and boosting HBV-specific immune responses. Our pipeline of internally developed, proprietary compounds includes an RNAi therapeutic, imdusiran (AB-729), and an oral PD-L1 inhibitor, AB-101. Imdusiran has generated meaningful clinical data demonstrating an impact on both surface antigen reduction and reawakening of the HBV-specific immune response. Imdusiran is currently in two Phase 2a combination clinical trials. AB-101 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial. For more information, visit www.arbutusbio.com.

Known risk factors include, among others: anticipated pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may be more costly or take longer to complete than anticipated, and may never be initiated or completed, or may not generate results that warrant future development of the tested product candidate; Arbutus may elect to change its strategy regarding its product candidates and clinical development activities; Arbutus may not receive the necessary regulatory approvals for the clinical development of Arbutus’ products; economic and market conditions may worsen; Arbutus may not realize the anticipated benefits from the organizational changes; Arbutus may incur additional unexpected expenses in connection with the organizational changes; Arbutus may experience additional employee turnover as a result of the organizational changes; uncertainties associated with litigation generally and patent litigation specifically; and Arbutus and its collaborators may never realize the expected benefits of the collaborations; market shifts may require a change in strategic focus. A more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing Arbutus appears in Arbutus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K, Arbutus’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Arbutus’ continuous and periodic disclosure filings, which are available at www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements herein are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and Arbutus disclaims any obligation to revise or update any such forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future results, events or developments, except as required by law.
