Registration Number
NCT01054300
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, sponsor open, 4 arm, 2 way cross-over study using 2 cohorts. The objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) effects and the pharmacokinetic (PK) of single day dosing of 2 mg and 4 mg doses of ertugliflozin (Ertu, PF-04971729/MK-8835) each administered once vs twice daily (morning \[AM\] and evening \[PM\]) in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fasting C-peptideUp to 24 hours (0 and 24 hours)

The fasting c-peptide was analyzed by cohort using a mixed-effects model with sequence, period, and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect.

Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse EventUp to 16 days

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product or medical device. The table below includes all data collected since the first dose of study drug.

Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to an Adverse EventUp to 8 days (Day 1 in each dosing period)

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product or medical device. The table below includes all data collected since the first dose of study drug. Data include participants discontinued due to adverse events, participants with dose reduced or temporary discontinuation due to adverse events.

Cumulative Urinary Glucose Excretion Over 0 to 24 Hours0 to 24 hours after the morning dose

Urine for analysis of glucose was collected at prespecified intervals. Each participant emptied his/her bladder just before dosing, and the collection started after the morning dose (collection times: 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-12 hours, and 12-24 hours after the morning dose). The average amount of urinary glucose excreted from 0 to 24 hours after the morning dose is presented in the table below.

Urinary Glucose Excretion by Time PeriodAt 0-4 hrs, 4-8 hrs, 8-12 hrs, and 12-24 hrs after the AM dose (up to 24 hours)

Urine for analysis of glucose was collected at prespecified intervals. Each participant emptied his/her bladder just before dosing, and the collection started after the morning dose (collection times: 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-12 hours, and 12-24 hours after the morning dose). The average amount of urinary glucose excreted during the pre-specified time frame is presented in the table below.

24-hour Weighted Mean Plasma GlucoseUp to 24 hours

Blood was collected during each treatment period at pre-dose (fasted) on Day 1 (Hour 0) and post-dose (fed) on Day 1 at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 24 hours.

Weighted Mean Postprandial Plasma GlucoseAt 0-5 hours, 5-12 hrs, and 12-18 hrs after the morning dose (up to 18 hours)

The weighted mean postprandial glucose over the specified intervals were analyzed by cohort.

Fasting Plasma GlucoseUp to 24 hours

Blood samples were to be collected following a fast from all food and drink (except water) for at least 8 hours. Fasting Plasma Glucose was collected as part of the assessment of weighted mean 24-hour plasma glucose. As such, it was not specified as an endpoint in the Statistical Analysis Plan and was not analyzed or summarized separately.
