What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • odanacatibDrug

    [Intervention Name: odanacatib (Panel A)] Panel A: Odanacatib tablets will be administered to male subjects in rising single doses of 2, 10, 50, 200, or 400 mg over 5 treatment periods. Each subject will receive placebo to odanacatib in one or two of the 5 treatment periods. There will be at least 7 days between each treatment period.

  • Comparator: odanacatib (Panel B)Drug

    Panel B: Odanacatib tablets will be administered to male subjects in rising single doses of 5, 25 (fasting), 100, 25 (fed), or 600 mg over 5 treatment periods. Each subject will receive placebo to odanacatib in one or two of the 5 treatment periods. There will be at least 7 days between each treatment period.

  • Comparator: odanacatib (Panel C)Drug

    Panel C: Odanacatib tablets will be administered to female subjects in rising single doses of 50 or 100 mg over 2 treatment periods. Half of the subjects will receive placebo to odanacatib in one of the 2 treatment periods. There will be at least 7 days between each treatment period.

  • Comparator: odanacatib (Panel D)Drug

    Panel D: Odanacatib tablets or placebo to odancatib will be administered to male subjects in rising single doses of 100, 200, or 300 mg following a high-fat breakfast over 3 treatment periods. Three of twelve subjects will receive placebo to odanacatib in all 3 treatment periods. There will be at least 10 days between each treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing odanacatib, Comparator: odanacatib (Panel B) and Comparator: odanacatib (Panel C) in people with Osteoporosis, 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 19 Aug 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

safety and tolerability based on assessment of clinical and laboratory adverse experiences (time frame: Part I: 12 Weeks, Part II: 13 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00863590, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Aug 2015.
