  6. Deaths, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs), and Discontinuations Due to AEs

    An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered an investigational (medicinal) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

    Measured: AEs collected from Day 1/Period 1 through study discharge (study duration: approximately 45 days). SAEs collected from date of written consent until 30 days post discontinuation of dosing or subject's participation in the study.

  7. AEs of Special Interest

    See Outcome Measure 16 for a definition of AEs. AEs of clinical interest for saxagliptin were defined as those relating to the following:skin disorders, infection-related AEs (system organ class [SOC]: Infections and Infestations), thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, hypoglycemia, cardiovascular AEs indicative of acute cardiovascular events, localized edema, fractures, pancreatitis, and AEs of hypersensitivity.

    Measured: AEs collected from Day 1/Period 1 through study discharge (study duration: approximately 45 days).

  8. Number of Participants With Marked Laboratory Abnormalities (MA)

    Laboratory abnormalities=any result that is clinically significant, met the definition of an SAE, required discontinuation or interruption of study drug, or required specific corrective therapy. Upper normal (UN)/lower normal (LN) values: leukocytes UN, 11.40x10^3 c/uL; absolute neutrophils/bands LN, 1.500x10^3 c/uL; aspartate aminotransferase UN, 48 U/L; alanine aminotransferase UN, 67 U/L; blood urea nitrogen UN, 20.0 mg/dL; creatine kinase UN, 350 U/L; lactate dehydrogenase UN, 249 U/L.

    Measured: Within 21 days of study Day 1, Days 1-3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4.

  9. Number of Participants With Marked Urinalysis Abnormalities

    Protein, Urine Abnormality: if value >= 2+ (or if pretreatment value >= 1+, then >= 2 * pretreatment). Glucose, Urine Abnormality: if value >= 2+ (or if pretreatment value >= 1+, then >= 2 * pretreatment). Blood, Urine Abnormality: if value >= 2+ (or if pretreatment value >= 1+, then >= 2 * pretreatment). White Blood Cell (WBC), Urine Abnormality: if value >= 2+ (or if pretreatment value >= 2+, then >= 4+). Red Blood Cell (RBC), Urine Abnormality: if value >= 2+ (or if pretreatment value >= 2+, then >= 4+). (The '+' is a normal lab result and refers to the magnitude of the finding.)

    Measured: Within 21 days of study Day 1, Days 1-3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4.

  10. Electrocardiogram (ECG), Vital Sign, and Physical Finding Abnormalities

    12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), Vital Sign (body temperature, respiratory rate, seated blood pressure and heart rate), and Physical Finding Abnormalities reported by investigator as AEs.

    Measured: At Screening (within 21 days of Study Day 1), Day -1 of Period 1 (ECG and Physical only), Day 1 of Periods 1-4 (Vitals only), at Study Discharge (Day 3 of Period 4) or Discontinuation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Saxagliptin, Metformin IR (glucophage) and Saxagliptin + Metformin IR (FDC) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 21 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 21 Jan 2011). 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?

Saxagliptin Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC[INF]) (time frame: pre-dose, post-dose at 15, 30, 45, 90 minutes, hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 of each period). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00897390, 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 21 May 2015.
