A Multiple Dose Investigational Drug Study in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (MK-0941-005)
- Registration Number
- NCT00511667
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
A multiple dose study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of an investigational drug in patients with type 2 diabetes. The primary hypotheses of the study are that multiple daily MK-0941 in subjects with T2DM with or without adequate control on metformin will be sufficiently safe and well tolerated to permit continued clinical investigation.
