A Study of MK-0893 on Glucagon-Induced Glycemic Excursion in Healthy Male Participants Following Intravenous Administration of Glucagon, Sandostatine® and Insulin (MK-0893-002)

August 18, 2015 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose, 3-Period, 4 Treatment Incomplete Crossover Study to Assess the Effects of Single Oral Doses of L-001241689 on Glucagon-Induced Glycemic Excursion in Healthy Male Subjects Following Intravenous Administration of Glucagon, Sandostatine® and Insulin

This is a study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 10 mg, 40 mg, 200 mg, or placebo to MK-8093 (Part 1) depending on treatment assignment in young healthy male participants. In Part 2 of this study, sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 200 mg, 1000 mg or placebo to MK-8093 depending on treatment assignment will be evaluated. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least one dose of MK-0893 will produce greater reduction of glucagon-induced glycemia as compared to placebo following the infusion of glucagon, Sandostatine®, and basal insulin.

Experimental: MK-0893 40 mg→MK-0893 200 mg→placebo
In Part 1 of the study, participants receive MK-0893 (10 mg, 40 mg or 200 mg) or placebo on Day 1 of each period, and Sandostatine® (30 ng/kg/min), insulin (0.10 mIU/kg/min), and glucagon (3 ng/kg/min) at 24 and 72 hours post dose. In Part 2 of the study, participants receive MK-0893 (200 mg or 1000 mg) or placebo on Day 1 of each period and Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon at 120 hours post dose.
