What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

    Participants were monitored for occurrence AEs for up to 8 days after last dose of study drug during Period 1 and for up to 14 days after last dose of study drug during Period 2.

    Measured: Up to 14 days after last dose of study drug

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

    Participants were monitored for occurrence AEs for up to 8 days after last dose of study drug during Period 1 and for up to 14 days after last dose of study drug during Period 2.

    Measured: Up to 14 days after last dose of study drug

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC)(0-24hr) of MK-0941

    Blood samples for measurement of plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were collected from predose to up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1 and from predose to up to 72 hours postdose on Day 5 in each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after study drug administration

  2. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-0941

    Blood samples for measurement of plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were collected from predose to up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1 and from predose to up to 72 hours postdose on Day 5 in each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after study drug administration

  3. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Time to Reach Cmax (Tmax) of MK-0941

    Blood samples for measurement of plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were collected from predose to up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1 and from predose to up to 72 hours postdose on Day 5 in each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after study drug administration

  4. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Concentration of MK-0941 at 24 Hours (C24hr)

    Blood samples for measurement of plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were collected from predose to up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1 and from predose to up to 72 hours postdose on Day 5 in each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after study drug administration

  5. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of MK-0941

    Blood samples for measurement of plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were collected from predose to up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1 and from predose to up to 72 hours postdose on Day 5 in each treatment period.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after study drug administration

  6. Plasma Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Day 5 to Day 1 Accumulation Ratio for AUC (0-24hr), Cmax, and C24hr

    Geometric Mean of the Day 5 to Day 1 Accumulation Ratio

    Measured: Day 5 and Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK-0941 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Oct 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE) (time frame: Up to 14 days after last dose of study drug). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Mar 2015.
