What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Analyte in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) for Empagliflozin

    Area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz) for empagliflozin.

    Plasma concentrations and/or parameters of a subject were to be considered as non-evaluable,if for example:

    • The subject experienced emesis that occurred at or before 2 times median tmax of the respective treatment (median tmax was to be determined excluding the subjects experiencing emesis)
    • A predose concentration was >5% Cmax value of that subject
    • Missing samples/concentration data at important phases of pharmacokinetic (PK) disposition curve.

    Pharmacokinetic parameter set (PKS): This subject set included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least one primary or secondary PK parameter that was not excluded according to the description above. Thus, a subject was to be included in the PKS even if he/she contributed only one PK parameter value for one period to the statistical assessment.

    Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 1:30 hours: minutes pre dose and 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00 and 72:00 hours:minutes post dose

  2. AUC0-tz for Metformin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Empagliflozin/linagliptin/metformin HCl, Empagliflozin and Linagliptin in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 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 5 Mar 2020. 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 Germany. 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 21 Feb 2020). 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?

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Analyte in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) for Empagliflozin (time frame: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 1:30 hours: minutes pre dose and 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00 and 72:00 hours:minutes post dose). The study lists 6 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 5 Mar 2020.
