Who cannot join

  • Participants (with or without RI) who met any of the following criteria were not included in this trial:
  • Relevant gastrointestinal tract surgery (except appendectomy, cholecystectomy, or herniotomy)
  • Diseases of the central nervous system, such as epilepsy, seizures, relevant neurological disorders, or psychiatric disorders
  • History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts; systolic blood pressure <100 or >160 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure <60 or >100 mm Hg, pulse rate <50 or >100 1/min

Show all 30Show fewer
  • Intake of drugs with a long half-life (>24 h) within at least one month prior to study start, or planned intake of study medication within ≤10 half-lives of administration of another medication. Medications that patients with RI were currently taking for treatment of renal disease were not included under this criterium.
  • Use of medications during the trial or within 10 days prior to administration of study medication that might reasonably influence the results of the trial, based on knowledge at the time of protocol preparation. Co-medications known to inhibit or induce P-glycoprotein or CYP3A were not allowed. Inhibitors of P-glycoprotein or CYP3A include protease inhibitors (such as ritonavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir); azole antimycotics, (itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole); macrolide antibiotics, (clarithromycin, erythromycin); amiodarone, cimetidine, diltiazem, fluvoxamine, mibefradil, nefazodone, verapamil, tacrolimus, quinidine, reserpine, and cyclosporine A. Inducers of P-gp or CYP3A include carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifampin, St. John's Wort and troglitazone. In uncertain cases, a case-by-case decision was made after consultation with the sponsor.

  • Inability to refrain from smoking when confined to the study site on trial days
  • Alcohol abuse (more than 60 g/day in males or more than 40 g/day in females)
  • Drug abuse, in the investigator's judgment, based on review of the participant's history and urine screening for abused substances
  • Veins unsuited for intravenous puncture on either arm (e.g. veins which were difficult to locate, access or puncture, veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture)
  • Blood donation (more than 100 mL within 4 weeks prior to administration of study medication or during the trial)
  • Excessive physical activities (within 48 h prior to start of the trial or during the trial)
  • Any laboratory value outside the reference range that was of clinical relevance (exceptions were in patients with RI who had abnormal renal function tests or deviations of clinical laboratory values that were related to renal impairment)
  • Inability to comply with the dietary regimen of study centre
  • Inability to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions
  • For female patients
  • Pregnancy
  • Positive pregnancy test (human chorionic gonadotropin (β HCG) in urine))
  • No adequate contraception in women of childbearing potential (adequate contraception was considered to be sterilisation, use of an intrauterine device, or use of oral contraception along with a barrier method)
  • Lactation period
  • Subjects with normal renal function (Group 1) and subjects with T2DM and normal renal function (Group 7) who met the following criterium were not included in this trial:
  • Significant gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders as judged by the investigator
  • Patients with RI who met any of the following criteria were not included in this trial:
  • Moderate and severe concurrent liver function impairment (for example, due to hepatorenal syndrome)
  • Patients with significant diseases other than renal impairment were excluded. A significant disease was defined as a disease which in the opinion of the investigator put the patient at risk during participation in the study, could influence the results of the study, could influence the patient's ability to participate in the study, or was an unstable condition. Patients with diabetes (for Groups 1 to 5) or hypertension could be included in the trial if the disease was not significant according to these criteria.
  • Haemoglobin <8 g/dL, indicating severe anaemia of renal origin (use of erythropoietin was allowed to maintain haematocrit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Linagliptin - single dose and Linagliptin - Multiple dose in people with Renal Insufficiency, 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 10 inclusion and 30 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 16 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?

AUCτ,ss (area under the concentration time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 24h after the last dose at steady state) - multiple dose groups (time frame: up to 480 hours). 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 16 Jul 2014.
