What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of plasma glucagon during the standard meal test (SMT)

    Measured: Days 5, 10, and 14

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Plasma glucose, serum insulin, and serum C-peptide AUCs during the SMT

    Measured: Days 5, 10, and 14

  2. Collapse under Acetaminophen PK

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  3. Area under the plasma acetaminophen concentration-time curve from time 0 to 240 min (AUC0-240 min)

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  4. Collapse all under ranolazine pharmacokinetics (PK)

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  5. Trough plasma ranolazine concentrations (Ctrough)

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  6. Average plasma ranolazine concentration during a dosing interval at steady state (Css,ave)

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  7. Area under the plasma ranolazine concentration-time curve over dosing interval (AUCtau)

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  8. Apparent elimination half-life (t1/2) of ranolazine

    Measured: Days 5 and 10

  9. Adverse events, physical examinations, clinical laboratory determinations, electrocardiograms (ECG), and vital sign assessments.

    Measured: From Screening to 7 days after the final dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ranolazine and Exenatide in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Gilead Sciences at 3 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 28 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 31 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of plasma glucagon during the standard meal test (SMT) (time frame: Days 5, 10, and 14). 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 31 Mar 2014.
