About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose, 3-Period, 4 Treatment Incomplete Crossover Study to Assess the Effects of Single Oral Doses of L-001241689 on Glucagon-Induced Glycemic Excursion in Healthy Male Subjects Following Intravenous Administration of Glucagon, Sandostatine® and Insulin

This is a study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 10 mg, 40 mg, 200 mg, or placebo to MK-8093 (Part 1) depending on treatment assignment in young healthy male participants. In Part 2 of this study, sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 200 mg, 1000 mg or placebo to MK-8093 depending on treatment assignment will be evaluated. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least one dose of MK-0893 will produce greater reduction of glucagon-induced glycemia as compared to placebo following the infusion of glucagon, Sandostatine®, and basal insulin.

  • Sandostatine®Biological

    Also called Octreotide acetate

    Sandostatine® is a somatostatin analogue. At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous Sandostatine® will be administered at 30 ng/kg/min.

  • InsulinBiological

    Also called Humuline Regular, Insulin for human injection

    At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous insulin will be administered at 0.10 milli-international unit (mIU)/kg/min.

  • GlucagonBiological

    Also called Glucagen

    At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous glucagon will be administered at 3 ng/kg/min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK-0893 10 mg, MK-0893 40 mg and MK-0893 200 mg 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 5 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 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?

Post-infusion Incremental Glucose Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve [AUC0-240 min] Study Part 1 (time frame: Up to 76 hours postdose). 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 19 Aug 2015.
