Pharmacokinetics of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) Tablets of Linagliptin /Metformin

June 6, 2013 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

Characterisation of Fixed Dose Combination Tablets of Linagliptin 2.5 mg/Metformin 850 mg or Linagliptin 2.5 mg/Metformin 500 mg and Relative Oral Bioavailability Compared With Single Linagliptin 2.5 mg and Metformin 850 mg or 500 mg Tablets Administered Together to Healthy Chinese Male and Female Volunteers in an Open Label, Randomised, Single-dose, Two-way Crossover, Phase I Study

The aim of the trial is to assess the relative bioavailability of fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin and metformin compared to the administration of two single tablets (linagliptin and metformin ) in Chinese subjects. The availability of a fixed dose combination tablet is expected to significantly enhance patients' compliance with antidiabetic treatment., in particular with concern to the frequent polypharmacy in diabetic patients.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: linagliptin/metformin(high dose)
24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) will be assigned to 2 treatment sequences. cross-over design was adopted to ensure each patient would take fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin /metformin (high dose) and single linagliptin and metformin (high dose) tablets single dose in randomized order
Drug: linagliptin/metformin(high dose)
patient would take fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin /metformin (high dose) and single linagliptin and metformin (High dose) tablets single dose in random order, and each dosage will be separated in 42 days interval.
Experimental: linagliptin/metformin(low dose)
24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) will be assigned to 2 treatment sequences. cross-over design was adopted to ensure each patient would take fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin /metformin (low dose) and single linagliptin and metformin (low dose) tablets single dose in randomized order
Drug: Linagliptin/metformin(low dose)
patient would take fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin /metformin (low dose) and single linagliptin and metformin (Low dose) tablets single dose in random order, and each dosage will be separated in 42 days interval.
