A Study of MK-0893 on Glucagon-Induced Glycemic Excursion in Healthy Male Participants Following Intravenous Administration of Glucagon, Sandostatine® and Insulin (MK-0893-002)

This is a study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 10 mg, 40 mg, 200 mg, or placebo to MK-8093 (Part 1) depending on treatment assignment in young healthy male participants. In Part 2 of this study, sequential single oral doses of MK-8093 200 mg, 1000 mg or placebo to MK-8093 depending on treatment assignment will be evaluated. The primary hypothesis of the study is that at least one dose of MK-0893 will produce greater reduction of glucagon-induced glycemia as compared to placebo following the infusion of glucagon, Sandostatine®, and basal insulin.

Sandostatine®

Biological

Sandostatine® is a somatostatin analogue. At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous Sandostatine® will be administered at 30 ng/kg/min.

Other names: Octreotide acetate

Insulin

Biological

At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous insulin will be administered at 0.10 milli-international unit (mIU)/kg/min.

Other names: Humuline Regular, Insulin for human injection

Glucagon

Biological

At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous glucagon will be administered at 3 ng/kg/min.

Other names: Glucagen
