Novo Nordisk Submits NDA to FDA for Faster-Acting Insulin Aspart for Treatment of Type 1, 2 Diabetes

Novo Nordisk NVO today announced the submission of the New Drug Application (NDA) for faster-acting insulin aspart to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Faster-acting insulin aspart is a mealtime insulin for improved control of postprandial glucose excursions and has been developed for the treatment of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.   The filing of faster-acting insulin aspart is based on the results from the 'onset' clinical trial programme which involved around 2,100 people with type 1 and 2 diabetes. In the onset programme, people treated with faster-acting insulin aspart achieved improvements in postprandial control versus NovoLog® (marketed as NovoRapid® outside the US) and an HbA1c reduction on par with NovoLog®. For people with type 1 diabetes, faster-acting insulin aspart results from the double-blinded onset 1 trial showed statistically significantly greater HbA1c reduction when dosed at mealtime or similar HbA1c reduction when dosed 20 minutes after a meal compared to NovoLog®. Across the onset trials, faster-acting insulin aspart had a safe and well tolerated profile, with the most common adverse event being hypoglycaemia, similar to the levels observed with NovoLog®.   "We are happy to be able to file faster-acting insulin See full press release
