A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MK-1293 Compared With a Basal Insulin in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes (MK-1293-005)

August 7, 2018 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Single Dose Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of MK-1293 and to Compare Its Pharmacologic Properties to Those of Another Basal Insulin in Subjects With Type I Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MK-1293 compared with a basal insulin (EU-Lantus™) in participants with Type 1 Diabetes. The primary hypotheses are that the duration of action, pharmacodynamic profile, and pharmacokinetic profile of MK-1293 and the comparator basal insulin are similar.

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
Comparison of MK-1293 and EU-Approved Lantus Duration of Pharmacodynamic Action During a 30-Hour Euglycemic Clamp Study
Time Frame: Up to 30 hours postdose
Duration of Action (DOA) is defined as the length of time from dosing to End of Action. End of Action is defined as the time point at which plasma glucose has been above 150 mg/dL for 30 minutes and no glucose has been infused for 30 minutes. Median and max below are reported for the length of clamp duration (i.e. 30 hours).
Up to 30 hours postdose
PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over 24 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC0-24hr)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours postdose
The area under the glucose infusion rate curve from hours 0 to 24 after injection (AUC[GIR{0-24}]) for participants who received either MK-1293 or EU-Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
Up to 24 hours postdose
PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over the First 12 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC0-12hr)
Time Frame: Up to 12 hours postdose

Up to 12 hours postdose
PD: Area Under the Glucose Infusion Rate Versus Time Curve Over the Second 12 Hours After Dosing (GIR-AUC12-24hr)
Time Frame: From 12 to 24 hours postdose

Time Frame: Up to 30 hours postdose
Maximum glucose infusion rate (GIR[max]) based on smoothed data for participants who received either MK-1293 or EU-Lantus™ administered subcutaneously on Day 1 in 2 out of 4 study periods in a replicate crossover design was measured from blood samples obtained during a euglycemic clamp procedure.
Up to 30 hours postdose
M1 Glargine Metabolite Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC0-24)
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours postdose
M1 glargine is the dominant circulating glargine-derived insulin metabolite after subcutaneous injection and it is pharmacologically active. AUC0-24 is a measure of the total amount of drug in the plasma from the dose to Hour 24. Analysis was performed on log scale with results back transformed to the original scale

Up to 24 hours postdose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

M1 Glargine Metabolite PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve Over the First 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC0-12)
Time Frame: Up to 12 hours postdose
