A Study of Odanacatib When Administered to Adolescents and Young Adults Treated With Glucocorticoids (MK-0822-066)

July 30, 2018 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Single-Dose Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Tolerability of Odanacatib in Adolescents and Young Adults Treated With Glucocorticoids

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of single doses of odanacatib in mature adolescents and young adults who are currently receiving glucocorticoid therapy. The primary hypotheses for the study are that a single dose of odanacatib is well tolerated in mature adolescents and following single dose administration of odanacatib 50 mg, there is no clinically important difference in AUC0-inf between mature adolescents and young adults.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Urinary Aminoterminal Crosslinked Telopeptide of Type 1 Collagen (uNTx/Cr) at 168 Hours Postdose
Time Frame: Baseline (predose Day 1) and 168 hours postdose
Urinary aminoterminal crosslinked telopeptide of Type I collagen (uNTx/Cr) is a biochemical marker of bone resorption. Odanacatib selectively and potently inhibits cathepsin K (CatK), the primary catalyst of bone resorption. Since CatK is the enzyme responsible for bone matrix degradation it is possible to use bone resorption biomarkers to quantify pharmacodynamic effects in short term clinical studies. CatK cleaves the N-telopeptide of collagen type I to form NTx and also cleaves the serum C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I (1-CTP - itself generated by the action of matrix metalloproteases) to generate CTx. Urine NTx measurements (in bone collagen equivalents [BCE]) have been normalized to creatinine clearance.
