Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics & Food Effect of MK-0941 in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (MK-0941-009)

March 12, 2015 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

An Open-Label, Randomized, Partially Fixed-Sequence, 4-Period Crossover Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics After Administration of the DFC and OCT Formulations and the Food Effect on the OCT Formulation of MK-0941 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

A study to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the dry filled capsule (DFC) & oral compressed tablet (OCT) formulations of MK-0941-009 & to assess the effect of food on the OCT formulation.
