Frequently asked questions about MK-1006

What is MK-1006?

MK-1006 is an investigational small molecule developed by Merck & Company, Inc. (ticker MRK) for metabolic disease. It has been studied in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It is a Phase 1 clinical candidate and is not described as approved; development has remained at the early clinical stage.

What is MK-1006 used for in Type 2 diabetes?

MK-1006 was studied as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Its clinical program focused on patients with these metabolic conditions rather than healthy volunteers. The studies evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Who makes MK-1006?

MK-1006 is developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. Merck sponsored the Phase 1 studies of the compound in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The drug remains an investigational asset in Merck's metabolic pipeline.

What phase is MK-1006 in?

MK-1006 is in Phase 1 clinical development. Both recorded studies were Phase 1 trials, and both are now completed. There are no active trials listed for MK-1006, so the program's recorded clinical activity consists of completed early-stage studies in Type 2 diabetes.

What clinical trials is MK-1006 in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials are recorded for MK-1006: NCT00791661, a single dose study in Japanese Type 2 diabetes patients, and NCT00757601, which tested safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MK1006. Both were randomized, double-blind, controlled studies in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Is MK-1006 the same as MK1006?

Yes, MK-1006 and MK1006 refer to the same investigational compound from Merck & Company, Inc. The hyphenated form MK-1006 and the unhyphenated form MK1006 appear in the trial records, including the Phase 1 study NCT00757601, which is titled using the MK1006 spelling.
