MannKind Corporation Showcases New Data On Afrezza And FUROSCIX At ADA 2026 Scientific Sessions
MannKind Corporation had new clinical and real-world data related to Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder along with analyses of FUROSCIX (furosemide injection) in patients with co-morbidities presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 2026 Scientific Sessions, taking place June 5-8, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana. New analyses examine Afrezza across pediatric A1c and efficacy, patient treatment satisfaction, use with AID algorithms and investigator-led research in pregnancy. Late-breaking comparative data vs. rapid-acting insulin analogs to be presented June 7. Nine posters showcase new clinical and real-world insights across dosing approaches, glycemic control, and patient-reported experience. PDUFA target action date for Afrezza in children and adolescents living with diabetes set for May 29, 2026. Pediatric Efficacy &A1c: Subgroup analysis from the INHALE-1 study examining inhaled insulin versus rapid-acting analogs (RAA) in children and adolescents with diabetes and baseline HbA1c =9.5%, including 26-week A1c changes in CGM metrics. Youth Treatment Satisfaction: Post hoc analysis from the INHALE-1 study evaluating patient-reported treatment satisfaction among children and adolescents with diabetes who achieved HbA1c. Efficacy and Safety of Inhaled Technosphere Insulin (TI) vs. Rapid-Acting Analog in Youth with HbA1c =9.5%: Subgroup Analysis from INHALE-1. Inhaled Insulin Assessment of Incident Lung Cancer Risk among Adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Compared with Other Therapies for Diabetes Using Real-World Evidence. Afrezza is contraindicated: during episodes of hypoglycemia, in patients with chronic lung disease (such as asthma or COPD) because of the risk of acute bronchospasm, and in patients with previous severe hypersensitivity reaction to regular human insulin product or any of the inactive ingredients in Afrezza. Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur with Afrezza. In a study of patients with asthma whose bronchodilators were temporarily withheld for assessment, bronchoconstriction and wheezing following Afrezza dosing was reported. Before initiating therapy, evaluate all patients with a medical history, physical examination, and spirometry (FEV1) to identify potential underlying lung disease. Do not use in patients with chronic lung disease such as asthma or COPD. Changes in an insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, injection site or type, or method of administration) may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. If clinically indicated, make any necessary changes to a patient’s insulin regimen under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring. For patients with type 2 diabetes, dosage modifications of concomitant oral antidiabetic treatment may be needed. Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction associated with insulins, including Afrezza. Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures, may be life-threatening, or cause death. Hypoglycemia can impair concentration ability and reaction time; this may place an individual and others at risk in situations where these abilities are important (e.g., driving or operating other machinery). Hypoglycemia can happen suddenly, and symptoms may differ across patients and change over time in the same patient. Advise patients to recognize and manage hypoglycemia and self-monitor glucose. In patients at higher risk for hypoglycemia and patients who have reduced symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia, increased frequency of glucose monitoring is recommended. Afrezza causes a decline in lung pulmonary function over time as measured by FEV1. In clinical trials excluding patients with chronic lung disease and lasting up to 2 years, Afrezza-treated patients experienced a small (40 mL) but greater FEV1 decline than comparator-treated patients. Assess pulmonary function with spirometry at baseline, after the first 6 months of therapy and annually thereafter even in the absence of pulmonary symptoms. In patients who have a decline of =20% in FEV1 from baseline, consider discontinuing Afrezza. Consider more frequent lung function assessment in patients with pulmonary symptoms, e.g., wheezing, bronchospasm, breathing difficulties, or persistent or recurring cough. If symptoms persist, discontinue Afrezza. In clinical trials, 2 cases of lung cancer were observed in patients exposed to Afrezza while no cases were reported for the comparators. In both cases, a prior history of heavy tobacco use was identified as a risk factor for lung cancer. Two additional cases of lung cancer (squamous cell and lung blastoma) were reported in non-smokers exposed to Afrezza after the trial completion. These data are insufficient to determine whether Afrezza has an effect on lung or respiratory tract tumors. In patients with active lung cancer, a prior history of lung cancer, or in patients at risk of lung cancer, consider whether the benefits of Afrezza use outweigh this potential risk. In clinical trials enrolling patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was more common in Afrezza-treated patients (0.43%; n=13) than in comparator-treated patients (0.14%; n=3). Patients with type 1 diabetes should always use Afrezza concomitantly with basal insulin. In patients at risk for DKA, such as those with an acute illness or infection, increase the frequency of glucose monitoring and consider discontinuing Afrezza and giving insulin using an alternate route of administration. Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur with insulin products. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue Afrezza, treat per standard of care and monitor until symptoms and signs resolve. All insulin products, including Afrezza, cause a shift in potassium from the extracellular to intracellular space, possibly leading to hypokalemia. Untreated hypokalemia may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. Closely monitor potassium levels in patients at risk of hypokalemia and treat if indicated. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists, can cause dose-related fluid retention, particularly when used in combination with insulin. Fluid retention may lead to or exacerbate heart failure. Observe these patients for signs and symptoms of heart failure. If heart failure develops, it should be managed according to current standards of care, and discontinuation or dose reduction of the TZD should be considered. Most common adverse reactions are hypoglycemia, cough, and throat pain or irritation.
