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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF04971729) compared with the addition of glimepiride in participants with T2DM who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin. The duration of the trial will be up to approximately 122 weeks. This will include a 1-week screening period, an up to 13-week wash-off/titration/dose stabilization period, a 2-week placebo run-in period, a 104-week double-blind, active comparator-controlled treatment period, and a posttreatment telephone contact 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The primary hypothesis of this study is that after 52 weeks, the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in participants treated with the addition of ertugliflozin 15 mg once daily is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with the addition of 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. The following additional measures defined for this individual study were in place for the protection of trial participants: During Year 1, participants who were on the maximum labeled dose (6 or 8 mg q.d.) or maximum tolerated dose (if lower than maximum dose) of glimepiride/matching placebo for at least two weeks and who met progressively more stringent glycemic rescue criteria received open-label sitagliptin glycemic rescue medication. The dose of sitagliptin was initiated according to the local country label.
    Background therapy
    		 Participants remained on their stable dose of metformin (≥1500 mg/day) while they received blinded investigational product during the double-blind treatment period.

    		 Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) at Week 52: Excluding Rescue Approach
    End point description
    A1C is a blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over prolonged periods of time and is reported as a percentage (%). A1C represents the percentage of glycated hemoglobin. This change from baseline reflects the Week 52 A1C minus the Week 0 A1C. A negative number indicates a reduction in A1C level. Participants who met glycemic rescue criteria received open-label sitagliptin glycemic rescue medication, and all data following the initiation of rescue therapy were excluded from the analysis. The primary study objective was the MK-8835 15 mg vs. glimepiride comparison; the MK-8835 5mg vs glimerpiride comparison was a secondary study objective. The analysis population included all randomized, treated participants with at least one A1C measurement (baseline or a post-baseline).

    		 Percentage of Participants with an Adverse Event of Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Up to Week 52: Excluding Rescue Approach
    End point description
    Symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event with clinical symptoms reported by the investigator as hypoglycemia (biochemical documentation not required). Participants who met glycemic rescue criteria received open-label sitagliptin glycemic rescue medication, and all data following the initiation of rescue therapy were excluded from the analysis. The analysis population included all randomized participants who took at least one dose of trial treatment.
