NCT03095651

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of MK-5160 in participants with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This is a two-part trial, with three panels per part. T1DM (Part 1) and T2DM (Part 2) participants will be given daily fixed doses of MK-5160 in three predefined, increasing doses in each panel, or glargine (active comparator). The primary hypothesis of the trial is that at a dose with sufficient safety, the mean steady-state maximum level of glucose infusion rate (GIRmax) after MK-5160 administration in both T1DM and T2DM participants is between 1.5 and 4.5 mg/kg/min.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Up to 33 days

  • Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to an AE

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Up to 12 days

  • Maximal Glucose Infusion Rate

    Maximal glucose infusion rate required to maintain target glucose levels in a euglycemic clamp setting (GIRmax) at steady state (Day 12) following administration of study drug.
