What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
AUC (0-24) of Plasma Metformin
AUC (0-24) = Area under the curve from the start time of the standardized dinner (0 h) to 24 hours after the standardized dinner. Study medication was administered at t = 0 hours for Treatments B and C and at t = 12 hours for Treatments A and C.
Measured: Times points to create the AUC (0-24) were: t = -0.08, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.92, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 hours relative to the start time of the standardized dinner.
Cmax of Plasma Metformin
Cmax = maximum response from the start time of the standardized dinner (0 h) to 24 hours after the standardized dinner. Study medication was administered at t = 0 hours for Treatments B and C and at t = 12 hours for Treatments A and C.
Measured: Times points to determine Cmax were: t = -0.08, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.92, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 hours relative to the start time of the standardized dinner.
AUC (0-24) of Plasma Glucose
AUC (0-24) = Area under the curve from the start time of the standardized dinner (0 h) to 24 hours after the standardized dinner. Study medication was administered at t = 0 hours for Treatments B and C and at t = 12 hours for Treatments A and C.
Measured: Times points to create the AUC (0-24) were: t = -0.08, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.75, 11.92, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18.5, 19, 19.5, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 hours relative to the time of the standardized dinner.
Rmax (0-24) of Plasma Glucose
Rmax (0-24) = maximum response from the start time of the standardized dinner (0 h) to 24 hours after the standardized dinner. Study medication was administered at t = 0 hours for Treatments B and C and at t = 12 hours for Treatments A and C.
Measured: Times points to determine Rmax were: t = -0.08, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.75, 11.92, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18.5, 19, 19.5, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 hours relative to the start time of the standardized dinner.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Met DR in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Elcelyx Therapeutics, Inc..
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 14 inclusion and 28 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 Oct 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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 Apr 2016). 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?
AUC (0-24) of Plasma Metformin (time frame: Times points to create the AUC (0-24) were: t = -0.08, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.92, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 hours relative to the start time of the standardized dinner.). The study lists 4 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 NCT01804842, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 Oct 2016.
