Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 61 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Any clinically significant illness in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration
  • Use of any prescription drugs (with the exception of hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy) in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration, that in the opinion of the investigator would have put into question the status of the volunteer as healthy

  • Volunteers who took sitagliptin and/or metformin in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration
  • Volunteers who took an Investigational Product in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration
  • Volunteers who donated 50 mL or more of blood in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration
  • Donation of 500 mL or more of blood (Canadian Blood Services, Hema-Quebec, clinical studies, etc.) in the 56 days prior to the first study drug administration

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
Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: 48 hours
Evaluation of Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
48 hours
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) 0-t
Time Frame: 48 hours
Evaluation of plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measurable time point t
48 hours

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
Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), abnormal clinical laboratory test results, physical examination findings and glycemia.
Time Frame: 1 week

Adverse events were classified by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 20.1 (Medrio database) and graded as mild, moderate, or severe.

The principal investigator or qualified designee determined the relationship of any AE to the investigational product.
