A Study of MK-0893 on Glucagon-Induced Glycemic Excursion in Healthy Male Participants Following Intravenous Administration of Glucagon, Sandostatine® and Insulin (MK-0893-002)

MK-0893 10 mg administered orally in 240 mL of water

MK-0893 40 mg administered orally in 240 mL of water

MK-0893 200 mg administered orally in 240 mL of water

MK-0893 1000 mg administered orally in 240 mL of water

Placebo administered orally in 240 mL of water

Sandostatine® is a somatostatin analogue. At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous Sandostatine® will be administered at 30 ng/kg/min.

At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous insulin will be administered at 0.10 milli-international unit (mIU)/kg/min.

At 24 and at 72 (Part I) or 120 (Part II) hours postdose, simultaneous infusions of the Sandostatine®, insulin, and glucagon will be administered over a 2-hour period. These compounds are IV compatible and will be combined in one syringe. Intravenous glucagon will be administered at 3 ng/kg/min.
