Relative Bioavailability BI 10773 and Metformin in Healthy Male Volunteers

June 20, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

Relative Bioavailability of Both BI 10773 and Metformin After Coadministration Compared to Multiple Oral Doses of BI 10773 (50 mg q.d.) Alone and Metformin (1000 mg b.i.d.) Alone to Healthy Male Volunteers (an Open-label, Randomised, Crossover, Clinical Phase I Study)

The objective was to investigate a possible drug-drug interaction between BI 10773 and metformin when co-administered as multiple oral doses. Therefore, the relative bioavailabilities of BI 10773 and metformin were determined when both drugs were given in combination compared with BI 10773 or metformin given alone.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
