Background: Sulfonylurea therapy allows a better metabolic control than insulin in patients with neonatal diabetes secondary to mutation in potassium channel. Its galenic form (tablets) is not suitable for children, as the dosage can’t be easily modulated and as it induces large pharmacokinetics (PK) variations when administer to young children.Objective and hypotheses: To measure relative biodisponibility of a new galenic form of glibenclamide and ...

Background: Glibenclamide has proven to be efficient for patients with neonatal diabetes owing to potassium channel mutations. We developed a suspension of glibenclamide (EMA CHMP Authorization February 2018) fitting recommendations of drug administration to allow a precise dosage. We reported it to be practical, efficient and well tolerated after 3 months of use.Objective: To determine long term efficiency and tolerance of a new suspension of glibenclam...

Background: Sulfonylureas (SU) have proven to be effective in patients with monogenic diabetes owing to potassium channel mutation. They allow the discontinuation of insulin and a good metabolic control. Long-term data arguing for a persistent beneficial effect of SU are missing.Objective and hypotheses: SU provide a good metabolic control maintained over time in patients with neonatal diabetes.Method: From a French cohort of 34 pa...

Background: Glibenclamide has proven to be efficient for patients with neonatal diabetes owing to potassium channel mutations. Anyway its pharmaceutical form is not suitable for young children or infants. The tablets dosage is too high for most infants and must be crushed and diluted before administration. We developed a suspension of glibenclamide (EMA Orphean drug designation january 2016) fitting recommendations of drug administration to allow a precise dosage and designed ...
