What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-72 (area under the concentration-time curve of linagliptin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 72 h)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 120 h after drug administration

  2. Cmax (maximum measured concentration of linagliptin in plasma)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 120 h after drug administration

  3. AUC0-infinity (area under the concentration-time curve of pioglitazone in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 72 h after drug administration

  4. Cmax (maximum measured concentration of pioglitazone in plasma)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 72 h after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. AUC0-tz (area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the time of the last quantifiable data point)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 120 h after drug administration

  2. AUC0-infinity (area under the concentration-time curve of linagliptin in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 120 h after drug administration

  3. AUC0-72 (area under the concentration-time curve of pioglitazone in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 72 h)

    Measured: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 72 after drug administration

  4. Changes from baseline in vital signs (blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR))

    Measured: 21 to 1 day prior start of treatment, at study visits 2 to 4 (prior to treatment administration and 24 h following treatment administration), and 7 days after last treatment administration

  5. Occurrence of adverse events (AEs)

    Measured: until 7 days after last treatment administration

  6. Assessment of tolerability by the investigator

    Measured: on day 6 of each treatment and 7 days after last treatment administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Linagliptin/pioglitazone, FDC formulation C5, Linagliptin/pioglitazone, FDC formulation C8 and Linagliptin tablet 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 4 inclusion and 24 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?

AUC0-72 (area under the concentration-time curve of linagliptin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 72 h) (time frame: 1 hour prior drug administration and up to 120 h 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 8 Jul 2014.
