What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of the analytes in plasma at different time points

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  2. Maximum concentration (Cmax) of the analytes in plasma at different time points

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time from last dosing to maximum concentration of the analytes in plasma at steady state (tmax,ss)

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  2. Minimum concentration of the analytes in plasma at steady state (Cmin,ss) over a uniform dosing interval τ

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  3. Terminal rate constant of the analytes in plasma at steady state (λz,ss )

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  4. Terminal half-life of the analytes in plasma at steady state (t1/2,ss )

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  5. Mean residence time of the analytes in the body at steady state after oral administration (MRTpo,ss)

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  6. Apparent clearance of the analytes in the plasma at steady state (CL/F,ss) following extravascular multiple dose administration

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  7. Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase λz at steady state (Vz/F,ss) following extravascular administration

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  8. Measurements of dipeptidylpeptidase 4 (DPP-IV) activity

    Measured: up to 240 hours after start of treatment

  9. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 60 days

  10. Number of patients with clinically abnormal changes in laboratory values

    Measured: Baseline, up to 14 days after last drug administration

  11. Number of patients with clinically relevant changes in vital signs

    Measured: Baseline, up to 14 days after last drug administration

  12. feτ,ss (fraction of the dose excreted unchanged in urine at steady state)

    Measured: 0-4 h, 4-8 h, 8-12 h and 12-24 hours after drug administration on days 3, 6, 9

  13. CLR,ss (renal clearance of the analyte in plasma at steady state)

    Measured: 0-4 h, 4-8 h, 8-12 h and 12-24 hours after drug administration on days 3, 6, 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Metformin and BI 1356 BS in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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 8 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of the analytes in plasma at different time points (time frame: up to 240 hours after start of treatment). The study lists 2 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 8 Jul 2014.
