Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Single-Dose Crossover Study of MK0893 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (0893-019 AM4)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00902161)

NCT ID: NCT00902161

Last Updated: 2015-07-03

Results Overview

Rt(65) defined as the time to recover from hypoglycemia (blood glucose level of 50 mg/dL) to an arterialized venous blood glucose of 65 mg/dL. At t= -60 minutes on the morning of Day 1 (Visit 6) or Day 22 (Visit 8), a hypoglycemic clamp was used via an increased insulin infusion rate to achieve blood glucose concentrations of 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) within \~30-90 minutes. At the end of the 30-minute hypoglycemic clamp interval, insulin and glucose infusions were terminated, and the time to recover from hypoglycemia to 65 mg/dL Rt(65) was determined. Rt(65) was followed up to 270 minutes

Propanolol + MK0893 / Propanolol + Placebo
After a 4 week wash-out period with a 4-week propanolol run-on, single dose MK0893 was added on Day -1 of Period 1 (Study Visit 6) and propanolol was continued. After Period 1, participants underwent a 3-week wash-out while continuing to receive propanolol alone. Following the washout, participants were treated with a single dose of MK0893-matched placebo on Day 21 (Visit 8) while continuing on propanolol.

After Period 1, participants underwent a 3-week wash-out while continuing to receive propanolol alone. Following the washout, participants were treated with a single dose of MK0893 on Day 21 (Visit 8) while continuing on propanolol.
Propanolol Alone
Participants received treatment with propanolol alone during a 4 week run-on before the 1st clamp procedure at Visit 6, and during a 3 week washout between clamp procedures at Visits 6 (Period 1) and 8 (Period 2). Overall, participants were treated with propranolol for approximately 7 weeks (from propranol titration through Visit 8 clamp procedures).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the time of hypoglycemic clamp (t=0 minutes) through 270 minutes

Population: 21 participants who received MK0893 + Propanolol while on study had data available, and 17 participants who received Placebo + Propanolol while on study had data available

Rt(65) defined as the time to recover from hypoglycemia (blood glucose level of 50 mg/dL) to an arterialized venous blood glucose of 65 mg/dL. At t= -60 minutes on the morning of Day 1 (Visit 6) or Day 22 (Visit 8), a hypoglycemic clamp was used via an increased insulin infusion rate to achieve blood glucose concentrations of 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) within \~30-90 minutes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From time of MK0893 administration through 24 hours post-dose

Population: Data from the first 15 participants who completed the study were used for the pharmacokinetic analysis.

Cmax was the maximum or "peak" concentration of MK0893 observed after its administration. Approximate C(ave 8-12) was the MK0893 concentration average over 8-12 hours post-dose and was computed as the Area Under the Curve over 8-12 hours post-dose (AUC \[8-12\]) ÷ 4

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. This also included any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product.
