Safety and Efficacy of Linagliptin in Type-2-diabetes Mellitus Patients With Moderate to Severe Renal Impairment

June 17, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

A Phase III, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group Safety and Efficacy Study of Linagliptin (5 mg Administered Orally Once Daily) Over 12 Weeks Followed by a 40 Week Double-blind Extension Period (Placebo Patients Switched to Glimepiride) in Drug Naive or Previously Treated Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Moderate to Severe Renal Impairment and Insufficient Glycaemic Control

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of linagliptin (5 mg / once daily) compared to placebo given over 12 weeks in drug naive or previously treated type 2 diabetic patients with moderate to severe renal impairment and insufficient glycaemic control. In addition safety in this patient population with longer term (40 week) treatment in comparison to sulfonylurea drug (glimepiride).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HbA1c Change From Baseline to Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 12 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, renal function impairment and prior use of antidiabetic agents.
Baseline and week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HbA1c Change From Baseline Over Time
Time Frame: Baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 16, week 20, week 24, week 28, week 34, week 40, week 46, week 52
HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the HbA1c percent over time minus the baseline HbA1c percent. This outcome measure only provides descriptive statistics without any modelling.
Baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 16, week 20, week 24, week 28, week 34, week 40, week 46, week 52
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Change From Baseline to Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
This change from baseline reflects the Week 12 FPG minus the baseline FPG. Means are treatment-adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline FPG and prior use of insulin, week repeated within patient and week by treatment interaction.
Baseline and week 12
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Change From Baseline Over Time
Time Frame: Baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 20, week 24, week 28, week 34, week 40, week 46, week 52
This change from baseline reflects the FPG over time minus the baseline FPG. This outcome measure only provides descriptive statistics without any modelling.
Baseline, week 4, week 8, week 12, week 20, week 24, week 28, week 34, week 40, week 46, week 52
Percentage of Patients With HbA1c <7.0%
Time Frame: Baseline, week 12 and week 52
The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 7% at week 12 and week 52 were calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 12 or 52 respectively, they were considered a failure, so HbA1c above 7%.
Baseline, week 12 and week 52
Percentage of Patients With HbA1c <6.5%
Time Frame: Baseline, week 12 and week 52
The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 6.5% at week 12 and week 52 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 12 or 52 respectively they were considered a failure, so HbA1c above 6.5%.
Baseline, week 12 and week 52
Percentage of Patients Who Have a HbA1c Lowering by at Least 0.5%
Time Frame: Baseline, week 12 and week 52
The percentage of patients with an HbA1c reduction of ≥0.5% at week 12 and week 52 from baseline was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 12 or 52 respectively they were considered a failure, so HbA1c reduction less than 0.5%.
Baseline, week 12 and week 52
Plasma Concentration of Linagliptin at Trough
Time Frame: Week 12, 24 and 52
Trough levels of concentration of Linagliptin in plasma.
Week 12, 24 and 52
