Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44339   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7369   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of Omarigliptin (MK-3102) compared with the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, in Type 2 diabetes mellitus participants with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy. The primay hypothesis of the study is that after 54 weeks, the mean change from baseline in hemoglobin A1C (A1C) in participants treated with omarigliptin is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with glimepiride.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice standards and applicable country and/or local statutes and regulations regarding ethical committee review, informed consent, and the protection of human subjects participating in biomedical research.
    Background therapy
    		 Participants will continue on their stable dose (>=1500 mg/day) of open-label metformin throughout the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 One hundred twenty-seven sites received IEC/IRB approval and were shipped clinical supplies and 115 sites in 11 countries screened at least 1 participant. Seven-hundred and fifty-one participants were randomized Enrollment at each study center ranged from 1 to 29 participants.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 In total, 1197 participants at 115 clinical sites were screened and 446 participants were excluded during screening. The most common reason for participants not being randomized was screen failure. The most common reasons for screen failure were participants not meeting the metformin inclusion criteria or meeting exclusionary laboratory values.

    		 Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C at Week 54
    End point description
    Hemoglobin A1C is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over prolonged periods of time and is reported as a percentage (%). Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 54 A1C minus the Week 0 A1C. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had a baseline measurement or a measurement for the analysis endpoint after receiving study medication.

    [1] - Omarigliptin was considered non-inferior to glimepiride if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of the between-treatment difference in least-squares (LS) means for change from baseline in A1C at Week 54 (omarigliptin vs. glimepiride) was lower than 0.35%.
