Recruitment details

Upon approval of Kombiglyze™ XR, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required the conduct of this clinical pharmacology study in pediatric patients as a post-marketing requirement (PMR). Study was initiated February 2013. On 14-Nov-13, the FDA issued a letter stating release from this PMR, thus the study was terminated prior to completion.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 4 participants were enrolled. Two participants were treated and completed the study prior to the termination of the study.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Metformin + Saxagliptin + Saxagliptin/Metformin XR FDC
Each participant received one dose of a 5 mg saxagliptin tablet once a day (QD) and a 1000 mg Glucophage® IR tablet twice a day (BID) on Day 1. On Days 2 through 6, participants received a 1000 mg tablet of Glucophage® IR BID, and on Day 7, participants received one dose of two 2.5 mg saxagliptin/1000 mg metformin XR FDC tablets. Finally, on Day 8 participants received four 500 mg Glucophage® IR tablets QD. All study drugs were administered with food.
