French drug major Sanofi-Aventis' Apidra SoloSTAR (insulin glulisine [rDNA origin] injection), a prefilled disposable pen containing rapid-acting insulin analog Apidra, has been approved in the USA. The product is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults and children with type 1 diabetes or adults with the type 2 disease.
The approval follows the launch of Lantus SoloSTAR (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) in 2007. Basal-prandial insulin regimens that combine once-daily Lantus as a basal insulin analog with rapid-acting Apidra at mealtime can closely mimic normal physiologic insulin secretion, noted the firm.
