A Study of LY2189265 and Sitagliptin in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of LY2189265 on how the body absorbs and processes a Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) drug (sitagliptin) and how sitagliptin affects LY2189265 when they are taken together. The duration of participation in this study is expected to be approximately 61 days. The study requires 2 clinic confinements (one of 2 nights and one of 19 nights duration). The study involves 3 injections, subcutaneous, of 1.5 milligrams (mg) LY2189265 and 18 daily doses of 100 mg sitagliptin tablets administered orally.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

are males or females, diagnosed with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) for ≥3 months prior to screening
male participants with female partners of child-bearing potential, or partners who are pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use a reliable method of contraception from the time of the first dose until 3 months after the last dose of investigational product, as determined by the investigator. The method may be one of the following:
condom with spermicidal agent
male participant sterilization
true abstinence (which is in line with the participant's usual lifestyle choice; withdrawal or calendar methods are not considered acceptable)
female participants not of child-bearing potential (that is, are postmenopausal or permanently sterilized [such as, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy]). Such participants will not be required to use contraception but must test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment. Postmenopausal is defined as at least 1 year post cessation of menses (without an alternative medical cause) or at least 1 year of spontaneous amenorrhea, with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ≥40 milli-international units/milliliter (mIU/mL)
female participants who have undergone sterilization by tubal ligation: agree to use a condom in conjunction with spermicidal gel, foam, cream, film or suppository from the time of screening until 3 months after the last dose of investigational product. Such participants must also test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment
have a body mass index (BMI) of between 23.0 and 40.0 kilograms/meter squared (kg/m\^2), inclusive, at the time of screening
have T2DM controlled with diet and exercise alone, or are on a stable dose of metformin Immediate Release (IR) for at least 4 weeks prior to screening, or are on metformin Extended Release (ER) and are capable/willing to be switched onto metformin IR or washed out prior to the first dose of investigational product, or are on sulfonylureas, acarbose (or other disaccharidase inhibitors), thiazolidinediones, or meglitinides and are capable/willing to be washed out prior to the first dose of investigational product
have a fasting blood glucose value at screening ≤15.3 millimoles/liter (mmol/L) (275 milligrams/deciliter [mg/dL])
have a glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value at screening (or within 4 weeks prior to screening) of 6.5% to 10%
have clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population or within normal reference range for the investigator site, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged to be not clinically significant by the investigator. Abnormalities of serum glucose, serum lipids, urinary glucose, and urinary protein consistent with T2DM are acceptable.
have creatinine clearance (CrCl) of greater than 50 milliliters/minute (mL/min) at screening estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula
have venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling as per the protocol
are reliable and willing to make themselves available for the duration of the study and are willing to follow study procedures

have poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] >160 millimeters of mercury [mmHg] and/or diastolic BP >100 mmHg) and/or evidence of labile BP including symptomatic postural hypotension
have a history or presence of respiratory, hepatic, renal, endocrine, hematological, or neurological disorders capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; of constituting a risk when taking the study medication; or of interfering with the interpretation of data

Participants with dyslipidemia, and participants who had cholecystolithiasis (removal of gall stones) and/or cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) in the past, with no further sequelae, may be included in the study at the discretion of the screening physician
