Linagliptin as Add on Therapy to Empagliflozin 10 mg or 25 mg With Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

September 3, 2018 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

A Phase III, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group, 24-week Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Once Daily Empagliflozin 10 mg and Linagliptin 5 mg Fixed Dose Combination Compared With Empagliflozin 10 mg Plus Placebo and a 52-week Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Once Daily Empagliflozin 25 mg and Linagliptin 5 mg Fixed Dose Combination Compared With Empagliflozin 25 mg Plus Placebo in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insufficient Glycaemic Control After 16-week Treatment With Empagliflozin (10 mg or 25 mg) Alone Once Daily.

Two independent study parts (i.e. Part A and Part B) are included in this trial. Part A will evaluate empagliflozin 10 mg + linagliptin and Part B will evaluate empagliflozin 25 mg + linagliptin. All analyses will be carried out separately for these study parts. The objective of Part A is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the fixed dose combination (FDC) of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 10 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 10 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The objective of Part B is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg compared with empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo administered orally once daily for 24 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM who have insufficient glycaemic control after 16 weeks of treatment with empagliflozin 25 mg alone once daily. The study is designed to show superiority of the FDC of empagliflozin 25 mg / linagliptin 5 mg over empagliflozin 25 mg plus FDC matching placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. The 24 week treatment period will be followed by a 28 week extension treatment period to evaluate further efficacy and safety up to 52 weeks.

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.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes prior to informed consent

  • Male and female patients on diet and exercise regimen for at least 12 weeks prior to informed consent who are:

    • drug-naïve, defined as no antidiabetic drugs for at least 12 weeks prior to informed consent or,
    • pre-treated with one oral antidiabetic drug (for sulfonylurea, with up to half of the maximum approved dose) on stable dosage for at least 12 weeks prior to the informed consent (for thiazolidinedione, therapy has to be unchanged for at least 18 weeks prior to the informed consent). Individual antidiabetic drug will have to be discontinued at Visit 1.

  • haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Visit 1 (screening)

    • for patients without antidiabetic therapy : HbA1c >=8.0 to =<10.5%
    • for patients with one oral antidiabetic drug : HbA1c >=7.5 to =<10.5%
  • HbA1c >=7.5 to =<10.0% at Visit 4 for randomisation into the double blind treatment period

Exclusion criteria:

  • Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia with a glucose level >270 mg/dL (>15.0 mmol/L) during the open label stabilisation period and placebo run in period
  • Impaired renal function, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/1.73m2 (modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula)
  • Acute coronary syndrome, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 12 weeks prior to informed consent
  • Indication of liver disease, defined by serum levels of either alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) above 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (%) From Baseline After 24 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 week
Change from baseline in HbA1c (%) after 24 weeks of treatment with double-blind trial medication. Change was calculated as: HbA1c value at 24-week - HbA1c value at baseline, for each patient. Baseline was defined as the last observation before the first intake of double-blind randomised trial medication. Statistical analysis presented is based on a restricted maximum likelihood (REML)-based mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) approach. Full Analysis Set (Observed Cases) [FAS (OC)]: This analysis set consisted of all patients who were randomised and treated with at least 1 dose of trial drug during the double-blind part of the trial and who had a baseline HbA1c assessment and at least 1 on-treatment HbA1c assessment during the 24-week double-blind part of the trial. Observed cases analysis included only the available data that were observed while patients were on treatment, i.e., excluding the missing data.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

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. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
