About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Parallel Group Efficacy and Safety Study of BI 10773 (5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg) Compared to Placebo When Administered Orally Once Daily Over 12 Weeks, as Monotherapy, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Insufficient Glycaemic Control Despite Diet and Exercise, Followed by a 40 Week Randomised Extension Study to Assess Long Term Safety of BI 10773 (10 mg and 25 mg)

This study is conducted to determine the most appropriate therapeutic doses of BI 10773 in Japanese patients with T2DM at first treatment period. The second treatment period is required to obtain sufficient safety data (one-year exposure to BI 10773) in Japanese patients with T2DM according to the ICH E1 guideline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 10773 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 32 sites in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 17 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 32 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 17 Jun 2014). 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?

Change From Baseline in HbA1c After 12 Weeks of Treatment. (time frame: baseline and 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01193218, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
