Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Pharmacokinetic Study of MK-0941 After Multiple Daily Doses in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (MK-0941-012)(COMPLETED) (NCT NCT00873821)

NCT ID: NCT00873821

Last Updated: 2015-03-09

Results Overview

An adverse experience was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure or function of the body temporally associated with the use of study drug. Adverse experiences were collected using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version 13.0.

Measure
MK-0941
Part 1 (in house): MK-0941 twice daily on Days 1 through 13 before breakfast and dinner with 240 mL water. The starting dose on Day 1 was 10 mg tablets twice daily and titrated to a maximum dose of 60 mg twice daily through Day 9. The Day 9 dose was maintained throughout Day 13. Part 2 (at home): participants continued treatment for an additional 14 days with MK-0941 60 mg tablets (or maximum dose achieved in Part 1) twice daily, before meals with 240 mL of water.
Placebo
Part 1 (in house): placebo twice daily on Days 1 through 13 before breakfast and dinner with 240 mL water. Part 2 (at home): participants continued treatment for an additional 14 days with placebo twice daily, before meals with 240 mL of water.
