Effect of Empagliflozin + Linagliptin + Metformin + Lifestyle in Patients With Prediabetes (4T)

October 17, 2019 updated by: Rodolfo Guardado Mendoza, Universidad de Guanajuato

Effect of a Quadruple Therapy on Pancreatic Islet Function, Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Function in Patients With Mixed Prediabetes and Obesity: Randomized Clinical Trial

Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic disease, and preventive strategies are needed to face this health problem. The goal of this trial is to evaluate the effect of empagliflozin + linagliptin + metformin + lifestyle on physiopathological parameters, sush as glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, pancreatic beta cell function and cardiovascular function in patients with impaired fasting glucose plus impaired glucose tolerance, during 12 months

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The main goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of two different treatments during 12 months:

  1. Lifestyle modification program + metformin 850 mg twice daily
  2. Lifestyle modification program empagliflozin (12.5 mg) + metformin (850 mg) once daily plus linagliptin (2.5 mg) + metformin (850 mg) once daily On the following parameters, after 12 months of treatment

1) Glucose metabolism, evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test 2) Insulin resistance evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance 3) Insulin secretion, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance 4) Pancreatic beta cell function, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance test 5) Cardiovascular function, evaluated by standard echocardiography by left ventricular ejection fraction

All the patients will have a basal evaluation with an oral glucose tolerance test, lipid profile and body composition measurement by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). After the basal evaluation, if the patients results with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, they will be invited to the intervention phase where they will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups.

Patients will have a follow-up visit every month to review the adherence to the lifestyle modification program and to the medication, and every 6 months an OGTT. After 12 months , patients will repeat the same evaluation performed at basal.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Empagliflozin + linagliptin + metformin plus lifestyle
Patients are randomized to receive for 12 months Linagliptin 2.5 mg + metformin 850 mg every 12 hours and empagliflozin 12.5 mg + metformin 850 mg every 12 hours. The start of the dose in this group will be gradual so that at the month of treatment the patient can be with the full doses. Together with this, patients will receive a lifestyle modification program seeking to reduce 5-7% of body weigh and increase physical activity to 90/150 min/week
Linagliptin-Metformin 2.5/850mg once daily, Empagliflozin-Metformin 12.5/850mg one daily plus a lifestyle modification program based on nutritional assesment, physical activity prescription and general counseling
Other Names:
  • Trayenta Duo + Jardianz Duo
Active Comparator: Metformin plus lifestyle
Patients are randomized to receive for 12 months Metformin 850 mg every 12 hours. The start of the dose in this group will be gradual so that at the month of treatment the patient can be with the complete dose. Together with this, patients will receive a lifestyle modification program seeking to reduce 5-7% of body weigh and increase physical activity to 90/150 min/week
Metformin 850mg twice daily plus a lifestyle modification program based on nutritional assesment, physical activity prescription and general counseling
