User acceptance

The reduced injection frequency of once-weekly insulin icodec has been linked to better adherence and acceptance among patients. Studies suggest that the lower injection burden could facilitate greater willingness to initiate or continue insulin therapy, particularly for individuals who find daily injections challenging. In ONWARDS2, T2DM patients using insulin icodec reported significantly higher satisfaction scores compared to those using daily basal insulins. In contrast, patient satisfaction was lower for insulin icodec compared to insulin degludec in type 1 diabetes (ONWARDS 6 trial).

Dosage

700 units/1mL; 1050 units/1.5mL & 2100 units/3mL

Frequency of administration

Maximum dose

700 units per SC administration

Recommended dosing regimen

For Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus—insulin icodec + bolus insulin combination therapy. For Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus —initial dose is 70 units, monotherapy, or combination therapy with sulfonylurea/GLP-1 agonist. For patients transitioning to Awiqli once-weekly insulin, both T1DM & T2DM—the recommended dose depends on their previous total daily dose of once- or twice-daily basal insulin. The dosage regimen is as follows: If the previous daily dose was 10 units, give 110 units of Awiqli in week 1 and 110 units in week 2. If the previous daily dose was 11 units, give 70 units of Awiqli in week 1 and 120 units in week 2. If the previous daily dose was 12 units, give 80 units of Awiqli in week 1 and 130 units in week 2. If the previous daily dose was 14 units, give 90 units of Awiqli in week 1.

Additional comments

The prefilled injection has a dose range of 10-700 units/injection (increase the dose by 10 units) No proprietary device is required to deliver insulin icodec. It is administered subcutaneously using a pre-filled pen injector, which is similar in design and technique to those used for other insulins. The pen contains a high-concentration formulation of 700 units/mL, ensuring that the injection volume remains comparable to once-daily basal insulin injections

Summary

Insulin icodec is an ultra long-acting basal insulin analogue. It is a re-engineered version of the ultra long-acting oral basal insulin OI338, with several modifications introduced to significantly extend the half-life. These modifications - which cause increased serum albumin binding and attenuated insulin receptor affinity - result in a mean half-life of approximately 196 hours, allowing for once-weekly administration.

Approval status

Insulin icodec was approved by Health Canada, EMA, Japan, Australia and Switzerland in 2024 for the treatment of adults living with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus. It has also been approved in Chine but only for the T2D indication. In July 2024, the US FDA rejected the approval of insulin icodec, citing concerns regarding manufacturing aspects and the indication being sought for type 1 diabetes.

Regulatory authorities

AWIQLI 700 units/1 ml, 1500 units/1.5 ml, & 2100 units/3 mL is approved by several stringent regulatory authorities for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (and for some, also type 1 diabetes).

More details

This study is comparing the effect of a long-acting insulin analogue (insulin 287) with insulin glargine (Lantus®) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. In addition, the study is looking at symptoms of low blood sugar, awareness of low blood sugar and the time and amount of glucose needed to recover from low blood sugar after injecting 2 and 3 times the basal dose of insulin 287 and glargine. The purpose of the study is to make a once-weekly injectable basal insulin treatment for people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get insulin 287 as well as insulin glargine - which treatment any participant gets first is decided by chance. Insulin 287 is a new medicine; insulin glargine can already be prescribed. The study medicines will be in a pen, and must be injected with a needle in the thigh

This study will look at how insulin 287 works, if it is safe and the side effects in people who are Japanese with type 1 diabetes. The study will test how insulin goes through your blood, how long it stays there and how the blood sugar is lowered. Insulin 287 is a new medicine. Insulin glargine is already approved to treat diabetes. The study doctors can prescribe insulin glargine. The participants will get both of the insulins in a random order. The participants will get 8 weekly doses of insulin 287 and 14 daily doses of insulin glargine. There will also be a run-in period of 2 days to 7 weeks when the participants inject insulin glargine every day before they start insulin 287 period or insulin glargine period. All doses will be injected under the skin. During the run-in period, the par

This study will look at a new medicine, called IcoSema, for treatment of type 2 diabetes. IcoSema is a combination of a new insulin, called insulin icodec, and a GLP-1 receptor analogue, called semaglutide. Insulin icodec is a possible new medicine. That means that the medicine has not yet been approved by the authorities. Semaglutide is a medicine already approved by the authorities in the EU, USA, China and Japan. The study will look at the way insulin icodec and semaglutide reach and stay in participants blood after injection when given together as IcoSema or alone as insulin icodec and semaglutide. Participants will get each of the 3 medicines (IcoSema, insulin icodec and semaglutide) at 3 different timepoints: The order in which participants get them is decided by chance. Partici

This study looks at how a person with type 2 diabetes can be treated with insulin icodec and a flash glucose monitor (a small sensor inserted under the skin to measure blood sugar all the time). The study will look at how well insulin icodec controls blood sugar when used in combination with a flash glucose monitor. Participants will get insulin icodec that they have to inject once a week on the same day of the week. The insulin will be injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm, or stomach. The study will last for about 8 months. Participants will have to wear a flash glucose monitor throughout the study. This is a sensor that fits on arm. Participants will be asked to use a commercially available app called LibreView to allow team to view flash glucose monitor data. Pa

This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin degludec (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 8 months.

This study will compare the new medicine IcoSema, which is a combination of insulin icodec and semaglutide, taken once a week, to insulin glargine (mentioned as insulin glargine in this form) taken daily in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well IcoSema controls blood sugar levels as compared to insulin glargine in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have their blood sugar properly controlled with other oral diabetes medicines. Participant will either get IcoSema or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. IcoSema is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. Doctors can already prescribe insulin glargine in many countries. The study will last for about 11 months (47 weeks).

F., Gram-Nielsen, S., Naver, H., Pridal, L., Hoeg-Jensen, T., Jeppesen, C. B., Manfè, V., Ludvigsen, S., Lautrup-Larsen, I., & Madsen, P. (2021). Molecular Engineering of Insulin Icodec, the First Acylated Insulin Analog for Once-Weekly Administration in Humans. Journal of medicinal chemistry64(13), 8942–8950. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.1c00257

Here, we describe the molecular engineering of insulin icodec to achieve a plasma half-life of 196 h in humans, suitable for once-weekly subcutaneously administration. Insulin icodec is based on re-engineering of the ultra-long oral basal insulin OI338 with a plasma half-life of 70 h in humans. This systematic re-engineering was accomplished by (1) further increasing the albumin binding by changing the fatty diacid from a 1,18-octadecanedioic acid (C18) to a 1,20-icosanedioic acid (C20) and (2) further reducing the insulin receptor affinity by the B16Tyr → His substitution. Insulin icodec was selected by screening for long intravenous plasma half-life in dogs while ensuring glucose-lowering potency following subcutaneous administration in rats. The ensuing structure-activity relationship resulted in insulin icodec. In phase-2 clinical trial, once-weekly insulin icodec provided safe and efficacious glycemic control comparable to once-daily insulin glargine in type 2 diabetes patients. The structure-activity relationship study leading to insulin icodec is presented here.

Hubálek, F., Cramer, C. N., Helleberg, H., Johansson, E., Nishimura, E., Schluckebier, G., Steensgaard, D. B., Sturis, J., & Kjeldsen, T. B. (2024). Enhanced disulphide bond stability contributes to the once-weekly profile of insulin icodec. Nature communications15(1), 6124. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-50477-9

Insulin icodec is a once-weekly insulin analogue that has a long half-life of approximately 7 days, making it suitable for once weekly dosing. The Insulin icodec molecule was developed based on the hypothesis that lowering insulin receptor affinity and introducing a strong albumin-binding moiety would result in a long insulin half-life, provided that non-receptor-mediated clearance is diminished. Here, we report an insulin clearance mechanism, resulting in the splitting of insulin molecules into its A-chain and B-chain by a thiol-disulphide exchange reaction. Even though the substitutions in insulin icodec significantly stabilise insulin against such degradation, some free B-chain is observed in plasma samples from minipigs and people with type 2 diabetes. In summary, we identify thiol-disulphide exchange reactions to be an important insulin clearance mechanism and find that stabilising insulin icodec towards this reaction significantly contributes to its long pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile.
