    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  2. Observed Cmax of Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  3. Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Saxagliptin and Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-t]) for Saxagliptin, Tablets and FDC, Given in the Fasted and Fed States

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  5. AUC[0-t] for Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Given in the Fasted and Fed States

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  7. AUC[0-inf] for Metformin, Tablets and FDC, Administered in the Fasted and Fed States

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events, and Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation

    An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.

    Measured: Continuously over Days 1 to 3 of treatment Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Hematology, Serum Chemistry, and Urinalysis Laboratory Test Results

    Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. Hematology tests included hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, total leukocyte count (including differential), and platelet count. Serum chemistry tests included aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, fasting glucose, total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, and creatine kinase. Urinalysis included protein, glucose, blood, leukocyte esterase, specific gravity, and pH.

    Measured: At screening visit, at Day -1 of Periods 1 through 4, and at discharge

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Results

    Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. ECGs were recorded after participants had been supine for at least 5 minutes.

    Measured: At screening visit, Day -1 of Period 1, and at study discharge

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Body Temperature, Blood Pressure, or Heart Rate

    Clinically significant was determined by the investigator. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured after the participant had been seated quietly for at least 5 minutes.

    Measured: At screening visit, prior to dosing on Day 1 of Periods 1 through 4, and at study discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Saxagliptin, 2.5 mg + Metformin, 500 mg (fasted state), Saxagliptin, 2.5 mg /Metformin, 500 mg FDC (fasted state) and Saxagliptin, 2.5 mg + Metformin, 500 mg (fed state) 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 8 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 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 Oct 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?

Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Saxagliptin, Tablets and Fixed-dose Combination (FDC), Administered to Participants in the Fasted and Fed States (time frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1, 2, 3, and 4). The study lists 8 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 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
