Toujeo® : A novel insulin glargine formulation

  • Toujeo® forms a smaller subcutaneous depot with ½ surface area compared to Lantus®.

  • This smaller surface area gives Toujeo® more sustained release and flatter profile beyond 24 hours and upto 36 hours1.

  • Toujeo® has the same metabolism (main circulating moiety is M1) as for Lantus®.

This study compared metabolism and metabolite pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of investigational new insulin glargine U300 (Gla-300) with insulin glargine 100 U/ml in people with type 1 diabetes. Participants received 0.4 (n=18) or 0.6 U/kg Gla-300 (n=12), and 0.4 U/kg Gla-100 (n=30) once Daily in randomized order for 8 days prior to a 36-h euglycaemic clamp.

Toujeo®: A novel insulin glargine formulation

  • Toujeo®  (Glargine 300 U/mL) is a new longer acting insulin Glargine formulation that contains 3-times the amount of insulin glargine per mL.1

  • Toujeo® has the the same amount of units in on third of the volume.


Reduction of volume by 2/3

Duration of action

 

 

*Result from a single-centre, randomised, double-blind, cross-over study in adults with T1DM (n=18) with euglycaemic clamp technique conducted for maximum of 36 hours after injection. The effect of Toujeo® was beyond 24 hours (up to 36 hours) at clinically relevant doses.1 **GIR determined as amount of glucose infused to maintain constant plasma glucose levels (hourly mean values). The end of the observation period was 36 hours.2
