Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01697592
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This study will examine the safety and efficacy of the addition of omarigliptin in Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on diet/exercise therapy and oral antihyperglycemic agent monotherapy.

Detailed Description

The treatment period is composed of a 24-week double-blind period (Phase A) and a 28-week open-label period (Phase B). During Phase A, participants will received either omarigliptin 25 mg or a matching placebo. During Phase, B all participants will receive omarigliptin 25 mg. All participants will remain on a stable dose and administration of a single oral antihyperglycemic basal medication.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event Excluding Data After Glycemic Rescue During Phase AUp 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. Glycemic rescue criteria were: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of \>240 mg/dL, 2 times, (Week 4 to Week 24) and after Week 24, FPG \>200 mg/dL, 2 times. Glycemic rescue was achieved through up-titration of basal medication (1st rescue) and through the use of metformin or glimepiride (2nd rescue).

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event Excluding Data After Glycemic Rescue During the Overall StudyUp 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. Glycemic rescue criteria were: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of \>240 mg/dL, 2 times, (Week 4 to Week 24) and after Week 24, FPG \>200 mg/dL, 2 times. Glycemic rescue was achieved through up-titration of basal medication (1st rescue) and through the use of metformin or glimepiride (2nd rescue). These results represent the accrual of events over different treatment intervals: 52 weeks, Omarigliptin (Phase A+B) group, defined as the double-blind period and open-label extension period versus 28 weeks for the placebo switching to Omarigliptin group defined as the open-label extension period only.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an Adverse Event During Phase AUp 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 24Baseline and Week 24

HbA1C is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over a prolonged periods of time and is reported as a percentage (%). Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 24 HbA1c minus the Week 0 HbA1c.
