A Phase 2 interventional study of Glucagon RTU and Placebo in Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia, sponsored by Xeris Pharmaceuticals. Completed at 5 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-05-21.
Sponsored by Xeris Pharmaceuticals · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Glucagon RTU when administered to subjects with a history of bariatric surgery during episodes of post-postprandial hypoglycemia. Twelve eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Glucagon RTU or placebo at the first of two clinical research center (CRC) visits, followed by the other treatment at the second CRC visit. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Glucagon RTU or Placebo for the duration of a 12-week Outpatient Stage. A follow-up safety assessment visit will occur 14 to 28 days after a subject's last dose of study drug.

Hypoglycemia Fear Scale
Change from Baseline in Hypoglycemia Fear Scale (HFS-2) Scores. The HFS-2 consists of two domains, Behavior, which has 15 questions, and Worry, which has 18 questions. Each question is assessed on a 5-point scale from 0=Never to 4=Almost Always. Lower scores indicate less fear of hypoglycemia, while higher scores indicate a greater level of fear.
Time frame: During 12 weeks of out-patient treatment
EuroQol Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D)
Change from Baseline in EQ-5D Score. This is a health assessment questionnaire with three domains. The first two domains of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression are scored on a 5-point scale from 1=no pain/discomfort; not anxious or depressed to 5=extreme pain or discomfort; extremely anxious or depressed. For these two domains, lower scores indicate less pain/discomfort or anxiety/depression, while higher scores indicate increasing levels of pain/discomfort or anxiety/depression. The third domain of Health is assessed with a series of 5 visual analog scales, each scored from 0-100. On these VAS scales, high scores indicate better health, while low scores indicate worse health.
Time frame: During 12 weeks of out-patient treatment
