New insulin shows promise for type 1 diabetes in chinese trial
NCT ID NCT07282054
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested a new fast-acting insulin called THDB0206 against a standard insulin (lispro) in 550 Chinese adults with type 1 diabetes. Both groups also used a long-acting insulin (glargine). The main goal was to see if THDB0206 could control blood sugar (HbA1c) as well as the standard treatment over 26 weeks. The study is complete, but results are not yet available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- THDB0206 (a fast-acting insulin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new fast-acting insulin option for people with type 1 diabetes, potentially improving blood sugar control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet published. It only included Chinese adults, so findings may not apply to other populations. As with any insulin, risks include low blood sugar and injection site reactions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female participants, 18 to 75 years of age at informed consent (inclusive). 2. BMI between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m² (inclusive). 3. T1DM diagnosed ≥6 months per WHO diabetes classification (2019). 4. On insulin therapy ≥6 months prior to screening. 5. Stable insulin regimen ≥3 months prior to screening (no change in insulin class), with or without metformin or alpha-glucosidase inhibitors; willing to follow multiple daily injections: 1. Intermediate/long-acting insulin once or twice daily (e.g., NPH, glargine, detemir, degludec); plus prandial insulin 1\~3 times daily (or as per usual diet) (e.g., regular human insulin, lispro, aspart, glulisine). 2. Premixed insulin ≥2 times per day. 6. Screening HbA1c between 7.0% and 11.0% (inclusive), measured by the central laboratory. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Diabetes other than T1DM. 2. History of pancreatectomy. 3. Prior pancreatic and/or islet cell transplantation. 4. ≥1 episode of Level 3 hypoglycemia within 6 months before screening (requires external assistance). 5. Hepatic or renal impairment at screening (per local laboratory reference ranges): 1. AST or ALT ≥3× ULN; and/or 2. TBL ≥2× ULN (except Gilbert syndrome); and/or 3. Estimated creatinine clearance \<45 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault). 6. Known hypersensitivity/allergy to study insulin products or excipients, or to any component of the standardized test meal. 7. Blood transfusion or major blood loss within 3 months before screening; hemoglobinopathies, moderate-severe anemia, or other conditions that may interfere with HbA1c measurement. 8. Use of oral antihyperglycemics within 3 months before screening (except metformin and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors), or use of non-insulin injectables (e.g., GLP-1 receptor agonists). 9. Systemic corticosteroid therapy for ≥14 consecutive days within 3 months prior to screening (including IV, IM, SC, or oral routes; excluding topical, intraocular, intranasal, intra-articular, and inhaled use), or systemic corticosteroid therapy within 8 weeks prior to screening (except physiologic replacement for adrenal insufficiency), or anticipated need for prolonged systemic corticosteroid therapy during the study. 10. Use within 3 months before screening, or current use, of traditional medicines (herbal or proprietary Chinese medicines) with known glucose-lowering effects.
