Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)
Up to 33 days

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to an AE
Up to 12 days

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Maximal Glucose Infusion Rate
Up to 24 hours post-dose on Day 12

Maximal glucose infusion rate required to maintain target glucose levels in a euglycemic clamp setting (GIRmax) at steady state (Day 12) following administration of study drug. In cases where the lower bound of the CI was negative, the lower confidence limit was truncated at zero. In these cases, the confidence intervals are 97.5% CIs.

Secondary Endpoints

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MK-5160
Day 1 clamp: -15 min. (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours following start of injection (FSOI). Day 12: -15 min (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours FSOI.
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Glargine
Day 1 clamp: -15 min. (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours FSOI. Day 12: -15 min (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours FSOI.
Day 12 to Day 1 Accumulation Ratio of Cmax
Day 1 clamp: -15 min. (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours FSOI. Day 12: -15 min (predose), 10, 30 min., 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours FSOI.
