Omarigliptin (MK-3102) Clinical Trial - Placebo- and Sitagliptin-Controlled Monotherapy Study in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (MK-3102-020)

August 15, 2019 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo- and Sitagliptin-controlled, Parallel-group, Double-blinded Study and Subsequent Open-label, Extension Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of MK-3102 in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitis Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Diet/Exercise Therapy

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of omarigliptin 25 mg weekly (as monotherapy) compared with sitagliptin 50 mg daily and placebo, and the long term safety (up to 52 weeks) of omarigliptin 25 mg weekly. The primary hypotheses are that after 24 weeks: 1) Omarigliptin 25 mg weekly provides a greater reduction from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) compared with placebo, and 2) The mean change from baseline in HbA1c in participants treated with omarigliptin 25 mg weekly is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with sitagliptin 50 mg daily.

The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline for Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
HbA1C is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over prolonged periods of time and is reported as a percentage (%). Change in A1C following 24 weeks of therapy (i.e., A1C at Week 24 minus A1C at baseline).
Baseline and Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event During Phase A
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study.
Up to 24 weeks
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event During the Overall Study
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. These results represent the accrual of events over different treatment intervals: 52 weeks, omarigliptin (Phase A+B) defined as the double-blind period and open label extension period versus 28 weeks for the Sitagliptin (Phase A)→Omarigliptin (Phase B) and placebo (Phase A)→Omarigliptin (Phase B) group defined as the open-label extension period only.
Up to 52 weeks
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an Adverse Event During Phase A
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study.
Up to 24 weeks
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an Adverse Event During the Overall Study
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. These results represent the accrual of events over different treatment intervals: 52 weeks, omarigliptin (Phase A+B) defined as the double-blind period and open label extension period versus 28 weeks for the Sitagliptin (Phase A)→Omarigliptin (Phase B) and placebo (Phase A)→Omarigliptin (Phase B) group defined as the open-label extension period only.
Up to 52 weeks

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 for 2-hour Post Meal Glucose (PMG) at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change from baseline at Week 24 is defined as PMG at Week 24 minus PMG at Week 0.
Baseline and Week 24
Change From Baseline for Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
Blood glucose was measured on a fasting basis. FPG is expressed as mg/dL. Blood was drawn at predose on Day 1 and after 24 weeks of treatment to determine change in plasma glucose levels (i.e., FPG at Week 24 minus FPG at baseline).
Baseline and Week 24
