What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Observed Concentrations (Cmax) of Metformin, Saxagliptin, and 5-Hydroxy (5-OH) Saxagliptin as a Fixed-dose Combination (FDC) and as Individual Tablets

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1 and 2

  2. AUC From Time 0 to Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-T])of Metformin, Saxagliptin, and 5-Hydroxy (5-OH) Saxagliptin as a Fixed-dose Combination (FDC) and as Individual Tablets

    AUC=Area under the concentration-time curve

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1 and 2

  3. AUC From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC[0-inf]) for Metformin, Saxagliptin, and 5-Hydroxy (5-OH) Saxagliptin as a Fixed-dose Combination (FDC) and as Individual Tablets

    AUC=Area Under the Concentration-time Curve

    Measured: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1 and 2

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.

    Measured: Continuously, from screening through Day 1 to within 30 days of drug discontinuation on Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Saxagliptin/metformin fixed-dose combination (FDC), Saxagliptin and Metformin extended-release (XR) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Observed Concentrations (Cmax) of Metformin, Saxagliptin, and 5-Hydroxy (5-OH) Saxagliptin as a Fixed-dose Combination (FDC) and as Individual Tablets (time frame: Days 1, 2, and 3 of Periods 1 and 2). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2015.
