About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Phase I Trial to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Linagliptin (BI 1356) 5 mg After Single and Multiple Oral Administration in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus of African American Origin for 7 Days

The objective of this trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of linagliptin (BI 1356) 5 mg administered orally in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus of African American origin.

Being tested
linagliptin QD (once daily) for 7 days
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Receives: Drug: linagliptin QD (once daily) for 7 days

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Linagliptin: AUC_τ,ss

    area under the concentration time curve (AUC_τ) of linagliptin in plasma at steady state over a uniform dosing interval

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Linagliptin: C_max,ss

    maximum concentration of linagliptin in plasma at steady state

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. DPP-4 Inhibition: E_24,ss

    Plasma DPP-4 inhibition at trough under steady state conditions. Plasma DPP-4 inhibition is derived by calculating (1-(activity in presence of linagliptin)/baseline activity))*100%, where 'activity' is the activity of the DPP-IV enzyme.

    Measured: One single measurement 24 h after drug administration under steady state conditions

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Frequency of patients with AEs

    Measured: 21 days

  2. Electrocardiogram (ECG), Vital Signs, Physical Finding or Laboratory Finding Abnormalities

    12-lead-Electrocardiogram (ECG), vital sign (blood pressure and pulse rate), physical finding and laboratory abnormalities

    Measured: 21 days

  3. Patients With Electrocardiogram (ECG), Vital Signs, Physical Finding or Laboratory Finding Abnormalities Reported as an Adverse Event

    Patients with Electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, physical finding reported as an adverse event

    Measured: 21 days

  4. Linagliptin: AUC_0-24

    area under the concentration time curve of linagliptin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 24h after administration of the first dose

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Linagliptin: C_max

    maximum concentration of linagliptin in plasma on Day 1

    Measured: 24h

  6. DPP-4 Inhibition: E_24

    Plasma DPP-4 inhibition 24 hours after first dose. Plasma DPP-4 inhibition is derived by calculating (1-(activity in presence of linagliptin)/baseline activity))*100%, where 'activity' is the activity of the DPP-IV enzyme.

    Measured: One single measurement 24 h after drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing linagliptin QD (once daily) for 7 days in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Nov 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Linagliptin: AUC_τ,ss (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jun 2014.
