Announcement
MannKind Corporation announced that the first patient has been enrolled in INHALE-1ST, a clinical study evaluating the initiation of Afrezza® (insulin human) Inhalation Powder shortly after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis in pediatric patients.
AI Summary
MannKind Corporation announced the first patient has been enrolled in INHALE-1ST, a clinical study testing whether starting Afrezza® (insulin human) Inhalation Powder soon after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis is safe and effective in pediatric patients.
INHALE-1ST will evaluate Afrezza used with once-daily injected basal insulin in youth aged 10 to under 18 who are newly diagnosed. The study will measure clinical outcomes and assess participant and caregiver satisfaction with using inhaled insulin for mealtime glucose control early in treatment.
The first patient was enrolled at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes in Aurora, Colorado. The trial plans about 100 patients across roughly 10 sites in the United States.
Afrezza is a rapid-acting inhaled insulin. It is not recommended for people with chronic lung disease or for smokers. Common side effects include hypoglycemia, cough, and throat irritation; lung testing (spirometry) is advised before starting therapy.

Announcement
MannKind Corporation announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an update to the Prescribing Information for Afrezza® (insulin human) Inhalation Powder, revising recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin regimens.
AI Summary
MannKind Corporation announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved an update to the Prescribing Information for Afrezza® (insulin human) Inhalation Powder revising recommended starting mealtime doses when adults switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin (injections or insulin pumps). The company said the change is intended to give healthcare providers clearer, clinically based guidance for initiating inhaled insulin.
The revised starting-dose conversion table — based on modeling and clinical data from the Dose Optimization study and the INHALE-3 trial — maps common injected mealtime doses to Afrezza starting doses: up to 3 units → 4 units; 4–5 units → 8 units; 6–7 units → 12 units; 8 or more units → 16 units. Trials showed improved postprandial glucose control using these conversion doses.
MannKind said the label refinement should support a safer, more appropriate transition to Afrezza for adult patients while reinforcing the product’s established clinical profile as an ultra-rapid-acting inhaled mealtime insulin.Read Announcement

Announcement
MannKind Corporation announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) seeking approval for Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder in children and adolescents living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
AI Summary
MannKind Corporation announced that the FDA accepted its supplemental biologics license application seeking approval of Afrezza inhalation powder in children and adolescents with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If approved, this therapy would be the first needle-free insulin option for pediatric patients.
The filing is based on data from the Phase 3 INHALE-1 study, which enrolled 4- to 17-year-olds in a 26-week randomized trial. Participants received Afrezza plus basal insulin or multiple daily injections with basal insulin. Topline results showed effective blood sugar control, and safety data from a 26-week extension—where injection patients switched to Afrezza—were also included. Full findings will be presented at the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes meeting in early November.
The FDA’s Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date for this application is May 29, 2026. MannKind hopes to offer families a less invasive treatment choice if approval is granted.

Announcement
MannKind Corporation announced six-month results from its Phase 3 INHALE-1 study of Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder in children and adolescents (aged 4-17 years of age).
AI Summary
MannKind Corporation released six-month results from its Phase 3 INHALE-1 study, which evaluated Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder in children and adolescents aged 4-17. The open-label, 26‑week trial compared Afrezza with multiple daily injections (MDI) of rapid-acting insulin combined with basal insulin. The main goal was to show that Afrezza was not inferior to MDI in reducing HbA1c levels. Although the full intent-to-treat analysis was affected by one non-adherent participant, a modified analysis excluding this patient confirmed Afrezza’s non-inferiority. The study also found no differences in lung function between the treatment groups, and safety outcomes, including hypoglycemia, were similar. These results mark an important step in expanding treatment options for young people with diabetes. MannKind plans to discuss these findings and a potential supplemental new drug application (sNDA) with the FDA in the first half of 2025.

MannKind Corporation announced top-level 30-week results from its Phase 4 INHALE-3 study, in which additional patients living with type 1 diabetes achieved target A1c levels during the extension phase.
AI Summary
MannKind Corporation recently announced the top-level 30-week results from its Phase 4 INHALE-3 study. The study focused on adults with type 1 diabetes and evaluated the use of Afrezza inhaled insulin combined with basal insulin. During the 13-week extension phase, additional patients achieved target A1c levels, indicating improved glycemic control over the prolonged period. Results showed that patients who remained on Afrezza or switched from their usual care insulin regimen were more likely to reach an A1c below 7%, effectively doubling the number of patients reaching this goal compared to earlier study data.
The findings support Afrezza as a promising option for patients aiming to improve their diabetes management. MannKind Corporation emphasized that these encouraging results provide healthcare practitioners with additional evidence of Afrezza’s effectiveness in helping type 1 diabetes patients attain better glycemic outcomes.
