Efficacy and Safety Study With Empagliflozin (BI 10773) vs. Placebo as add-on to Metformin or Metformin Plus Sulfonylurea Over 24 Weeks in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

May 16, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

A Phase III Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Efficacy and Safety Study of BI 10773 (10 mg, 25 mg) Administered Orally, Once Daily Over 24 Weeks in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Insufficient Glycaemic Control Despite Treatment With Metformin Alone or Metformin in Combination With a Sulfonylurea

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of BI 10773 compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea in patients with Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.

  2. Male and female patients on a diet and exercise regimen who are pre-treated with immediate release metformin or immediate release metformin plus sulfonylurea (see below for minimum doses). The treatment regimen has to be unchanged for 12 weeks prior to randomisation.

    Minimum dose for metformin: > or = 1500 mg/day or maximum tolerated dose or maximum dose according to local label Minimum dose for sulfonylurea: > or = half of the maximal recommended dose or maximum tolerated dose or maximum dose according to local label

  3. HbA1c of > or = 7.0% and < or = 11% at Visit 1 (screening) in order to be eligible for randomised treatment HbA1c of > 11% at Visit 1 (screening) in order to be eligible for the open-label treatment arm (25 mg BI 10773)
  4. Age> or = 18
  5. Body Mass Index (BM)I < or = 45 kg/m2 (Body Mass Index) at Visit 1 (Screening)
  6. Signed and dated written informed consent by date of Visit 1 in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia with a glucose level > 240 mg/dl (>13.3 mmol/L) after an overnight fast during placebo run-in and confirmed by a second measurement (not on the same day)
  2. Any other antidiabetic drug within 12 weeks prior to randomisation except those mentioned in inclusion criterion 2
  3. Myocardial infarction, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 3 months prior to informed consent
  4. Indication of liver disease, defined by serum levels of either ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), or alkaline phosphatase above 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) as determined during screening and/or run-in phase
  5. Impaired renal function, defined as eGFR<30 ml/min (severe renal impairment) as determined during screening and/or run-in phase
  6. Bariatric surgery within the past two years and other gastrointestinal surgeries that induce chronic malabsorption
  7. Medical history of cancer (except for basal cell carcinoma) and/or treatment for cancer within the last 5 years
  8. Contraindications to metformin and/or sulfonylurea according to the local label for those patients that enter the study with the respective background therapy
  9. Blood dyscrasias or any disorders causing haemolysis or unstable Red Blood Cell (e.g. malaria, babesiosis, haemolytic anaemia)
  10. Treatment with anti-obesity drugs (e.g. sibutramine, orlistat) 3 months prior to informed consent or any other treatment at the time of screening (i.e. surgery, aggressive diet regimen, etc.) leading to unstable body weight
  11. Current treatment with systemic steroids at time of informed consent or change in dosage of thyroid hormones within 6 weeks prior to informed consent or any other uncontrolled endocrine disorder except Typ 2 Diabetes

Acceptable methods of birth control include tubal ligation, transdermal patch, intra uterine devices/systems (IUDs/IUSs), oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives, sexual abstinence (if acceptable by local authorities), double barrier method and vasectomised partner
  13. Alcohol or drug abuse within the 3 months prior to informed consent that would interfere with trial participation or any ongoing condition leading to a decreased compliance to study procedures or study drug intake
  14. Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within 30 days prior to informed consent
