Bioequivalence of a FDC Tablet of Linagliptin/Metformin (5mg/1000mg) Extended Release in Healthy Subjects

June 23, 2016 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

Bioequivalence of a Fixed Dose Combination Tablet of Linagliptin/Metformin Extended Release (5 mg/1000 mg) Compared With the Free Combination of Linagliptin and Metformin Extended Release Tablets in Healthy Subjects (an Open-label, Randomised, Single Dose, Two-way Crossover Trial)

The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate bioequivalence of a newly developed fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet containing linagliptin and metformin extended release compared to the free combination of linagliptin and metformin extended release, both under fed and fasted conditions.
