MannKind (MNKD) announced six-month results from its Phase 3 INHALE-1 study of Afrezza (inhaled insulin) in children and adolescents aged 4-17 years. The 26-week trial involved 230 subjects randomized to either Afrezza or multiple daily injections (MDI) of rapid-acting insulin.
The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) analysis, excluding one non-adherent patient, demonstrated non-inferiority of Afrezza to MDI with a between-group difference of 0.370% in HbA1c change, meeting the primary endpoint's threshold of 0.4%. No significant differences in lung function or safety parameters were observed between groups.
