Summary
The objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of dasiglucagon in reducing glucose requirements in children with persistent congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) requiring continuous intravenous (IV) glucose administration to prevent/manage hypoglycemia.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- CHI diagnosis established based on the following:
- Hyperinsulinemia: plasma insulin above the limit of detection of the assay documented during an event of hypoglycemia, and/or
- Hypofattyacidemia: plasma free fatty acid 30 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) after 1 mg IV or intramuscular (IM) glucagon administration
- Male or female, age ≥7 days and 20 mg/m^2 body surface area or equivalent within 5 days before screening
- Prior use of lanreotide, sirolimus (mechanistic target of rapamycin [mTOR] inhibitors), anti-inflammatory biological agents, or other immune modulating agents. Prior use of octreotide is allowed after a minimum of 48 hour washout before randomization.
- Any clinically significant abnormality identified on echocardiogram that in the opinion of the investigator would affect the subject's ability to participate in the trial
- Any recognized clotting or bleeding disorder
- The use of prescription or non-prescription medications known to cause QT prolongation
