New drug aims to control blood sugar in kids with rare condition
NCT ID NCT03941236
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study is testing the long-term safety of dasiglucagon, a drug given as a continuous injection under the skin, in children with congenital hyperinsulinism (a condition causing dangerously low blood sugar). The trial includes 42 children who completed earlier studies. Researchers will monitor side effects and check if the drug helps reduce the need for tube feeding or surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dasiglucagon (a glucagon analog given as a continuous injection under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, dasiglucagon could provide a long-term treatment option to control blood sugar levels in children with congenital hyperinsulinism, potentially reducing the need for tube feeding or surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension trial with no placebo group, so results may be less definitive. The drug may cause side effects, and long-term benefits are not guaranteed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Completed treatment in either Trial ZP4207-17103 or ZP4207-17109 * Expected to continue to have a positive benefit-risk assessment for treatment with dasiglucagon (based on considerations of glycemic effect, tolerability, and nature and frequency of adverse events experienced in the lead-in trial) Exclusion Criteria: * The patient developed any conditions prohibited by the lead-in trial, requires medication prohibited by the lead-in trial, or has other new complications that preclude participation in the investigator's opinion.
