What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) On Study

    An adverse event was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the treatment, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which was temporally associated with the use of the treatment, was also considered an adverse experience.

    Measured: From the time of the run-in period prior to the first dose of study drug through the end of the poststudy period (up to 3 weeks)

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an AE

    An adverse event was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the treatment, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which was temporally associated with the use of the treatment, was also considered an adverse experience.

    Measured: From the time of the run-in period prior to the first dose of study drug through the end of the poststudy period (up to 3 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC[0-∞]) After Single Dose MK1006

    The AUC(0-∞) was estimated by determining the total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity.

    Measured: From pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  2. Mean Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MK1006 After Single Dose

    Measured: From pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  3. Median Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MK1006 After Single Dose

    Measured: From pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  4. Apparent Terminal Half-Life (T 1/2) of MK1006 After Single Dose

    The apparent terminal half-life was defined as the time required for the plasma concentration of MK1006 to decrease 50% in the final stage of its elimination

    Measured: From pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

  5. Mean Area Under The Plasma Concentration Curve From Time Zero to 24 Hours (AUC[0-24]) After Single Dose MK1006

    The AUC(0-24) was estimated by determining the total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve to 24 hours post dose.

    Measured: From pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK1006 in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 5 Feb 2016. 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 7 Sep 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 Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) On Study (time frame: From the time of the run-in period prior to the first dose of study drug through the end of the poststudy period (up to 3 weeks)). 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 5 Feb 2016.
