Registered outcomes14

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Subjects With a Positive Glucose Response0 to 30 minutes post doseIncrease in plasma glucose concentration from below 50.0 mg/dL to greater than 70.0 mg/dL within 30 minutes after receiving glucagon
SecondaryTime for Positive Glucose Response0 to 180 minutes post doseTime from administration of glucagon for plasma glucose to rise from below 50.0 mg/dL to above 70.0 mg/dL
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With a Positive Response for the Combination Endpoint: Positive Glucose Response/Positive Glucose Increase0 to 30 minutes post doseA positive response for this endpoint is a return of plasma glucose to \> 70 mg/dL or an increase in plasma glucose by ≥20 mg/dL within 30 minutes after receiving glucagon
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With a Positive Glucose Increase0 to 30 minutes post doseIncrease in plasma glucose by ≥ 20.0 mg/dL within 30 minutes after receiving glucagon
SecondaryTime for Positive Glucose Increase0 to 180 minutes post doseTime from administration of glucagon for plasma glucose to increase by ≥20 mg/dL from baseline
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With a Positive Response for the Combination Endpoint: Positive Glucose Response/Relief of Neuroglycopenic Symptoms0 to 30 minutes post dose
A positive response for this endpoint is a return of plasma glucose to \> 70 mg/dL or clearance of all neuroglycopenic symptoms of hypoglycemia within 30 minutes after receiving glucagon. Four symptoms were assessed: dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty in thinking and faintness.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With Relief of Neuroglycopenic Symptoms0 to 30 minutes post doseClearance of all neuroglycopenic symptoms of hypoglycemia within 30 minutes after receiving glucagon. Four symptoms were assessed: dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty in thinking and faintness.
SecondaryTime to Resolution of Autonomic Symptoms0 to 180 minutes post doseTime from administration of glucagon to complete resolution of 4 autonomic symptoms of hypoglycemia. Symptoms included: sweating, tremor, palpitations and feeling of nervousness.
SecondaryTime to Resolution of Neuroglycopenic Symptoms0 to 180 minutes post doseTime from administration of glucagon to complete resolution of 4 neuroglycopenic symptoms of hypoglycemia. Four symptoms were assessed: dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty in thinking and faintness.
SecondaryTime to Resolution of the Feeling of Hypoglycemia0 to 180 minutes post dose
Time from administration of glucagon to resolution of the overall sensation of hypoglycemia. Subjects were asked to answer yes/no to the question, "Do you feel hypoglycemic?" The time point as which the subject first answered "no" was considered the time of resolution.
