MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate that dextromethorphan (DXM) and amantadine compared to placebo exert blood glucose (BG) lowering effects following an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in male subjects with T2DM;Secondary Objective: - To compare other pharmacodynamic (PD) properties (based on glucose, insulin, C-peptide and catecholamine measurements) of oral DXM and amantadine (termed: Investigational Medicinal Product – IMP) before and during an OGTT - For dextromethorphan: to assess whether a dose-dependency of PD exists -To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure to DXM and metabolites following an oral DXM dose for 5h post-dosing -To assess the PK/PD relationship (based on AUCDXM and AUCglucose) - To assess the safety after single oral dosing ;Primary end point(s): The primary (PD) endpoint of the study is the area under the blood glucose (BG) concentration-time profile.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From 1-3 hours post-dose (i.e. from 0-2 hours after an OGTT);Main Objective: The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate that dextromethorphan (DXM) and amantadine compared to placebo exert blood glucose (BG) lowering effects following an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in male subjects with T2DM;Secondary Objective: - To compare other pharmacodynamic (PD) properties (based on glucose, insulin, C-peptide and catecholamine measurements) of oral DXM and amantadine (termed: Investigational Medicinal Product – IMP) before and during an OGTT - For dextromethorphan: to assess whether a dose-dependency of PD exists -To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure to DXM and metabolites following an oral DXM dose for 5h post-dosing -To assess the PK/PD relationship (based on AUCDXM and AUCglucose) - To assess the safety after single oral dosing ;Primary end point(s): The primary (PD) endpoint of the study is the area under the blood glucose (BG) concentration-time profile.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From 1-3
