About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability of Empagliflozin (12.5 or 5 mg)/Metformin (850 mg or 500 mg) Fixed Dose Combination Tablets Compared to Single Tablets Administered Together to Healthy Chinese Male and Female Volunteers in an Open-label, Randomised, Single-dose, Two-way Crossover Study

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 5 mg empagliflozin/850 mg metformin FDC, 12.5 mg empagliflozin and 850 mg metformin in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 24 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 24 Sep 2015). 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?

AUC(0-∞) for Empagliflozin (time frame: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 20 min (m), 40m, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 34h, 48h and 72h after drug administration). The study lists 4 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 24 Sep 2015.
