Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A non-interventional cohort study using existing data from patients in the Optum Clinical Database which contains electronic health record (EHR) data from providers across the United States to determine whether there is comparable effectiveness of linagliptin on glycemic effectivenes

Who may be able to join

  • ≥ 1 written prescription for linagliptin (Tradjenta®, Jentadueto®, or Jentadueto XR®)in the EHR (electronic health record) data during the identification period
  • ≥ 40 years of age based on the year of the index date
  • First active date in the EHR is ≥ 180 days prior to the index date
  • ≥ 1 diagnosis code representing Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the EHR data during the 180-day pre-index period or on the index date
  • ≥ 1 HbA1c value during the 180-day pre-index period or on the index date
  • ≥ 1 HbA1c value 60 to 180 days after the index date

Who cannot join

  • ≥ 1 written prescription, medication administration or medication history record for linagliptin or other dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-4) inhibitor in the EHR data during the 180-day pre-index period
  • ≥ 1 written prescription or medication administration for a new antihyperglycemic medication other than linagliptin on the index date New antihyperglycemic medication will be defined as a written prescription or medication administration for any antihyperglycemic medication that was not present in the patient's written prescription, medication administration, or medication history records during the 180-day pre-index period.
  • Individual antihyperglycemic medications will be distinguished by generic name using the column labelled "Medication Name" in Tables 2 through 13. Combination products containing two generic ingredients will be considered as two distinct antihyperglycemic medications Note: This exclusion criterion is designed to exclude patients from the study sample if they start a new antihyperglycemic medication other than linagliptin on the index date. Patients that start a new antihyperglycemic medication in the follow-up period will not be removed from the study sample to avoid creating a biased sample. Addition of a new antihyperglycemic medication during follow-up will be evaluated through the sensitivity analysis described in Section 9.7.4.4. While we will be capturing additions of new therapies, discontinuation of linagliptin is not able to be accurately measured in electronic record data. The electronic record data capture prescriptions written by a prescriber, but it is not possible to know if patients received and adhered to their medication and there are no structured data fields to identify if and when a medication was discontinued by the patient or the provider
  • ≥ 1 diagnosis code or procedure code representing renal transplant, solid organ transplant, or bone marrow transplant in the EHR data during the 180-day pre-index period or on the index date
  • ≥ 1 diagnosis code representing malignancy in the EHR data during the 180-day preindex period or on the index date

Official title: Real World Glycemic Effectiveness of Linagliptin Among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Adults by Age and Renal Function

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Across Age Categories

    Change in HbA1c among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the 60 to 180 days following initiation of linagliptin across pre-defined age categories (40 to 54 years, 40 to 54 years, 65 to 74 years and 75+ years).

    Change in HbA1c, was calculated for each patient by subtracting the patient's last (most recent) HbA1c value during the pre-index period (including the index date) from the patient's last (most recent) HbA1c value 60 to 180 days after the index date.

    Measured: Baseline and 60 to 180 days

  2. Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Across Renal Function Categories

    Change in HbA1c among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the 60 to 180 days following initiation of linagliptin across pre-defined renal function categories.

    Change in HbA1c, was calculated for each patient by subtracting the patient's last (most recent) HbA1c value during the pre-index period (including the index date) from the patient's last (most recent) HbA1c value 60 to 180 days after the index date. Renal function categories were presented based on patients with a pre-index estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value (eGFR<30, eGFR 30 to 44, eGFR 45 to 59, eGFR 60 to 89, eGFR ≥ 90 milliliter/ minute/1.73 meter^2 and eGFR not available).

    Measured: Baseline and 60 to 180 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Adults With T2DM Who Achieve HbA1c < 7.0% Across the Pre-defined Age Categories

    Percentage of adults with T2DM who achieve HbA1c < 7.0% within the 60 to 180 days following initiation of linagliptin across pre-defined age categories (40 to 54 years, 40 to 54 years, 65 to 74 years and 75+ years).

    Measured: 60 to 180 days

  2. Percentage of Adults With T2DM Who Achieve HbA1c < 7.0% Across Renal Function Categories

    Percentage of adults with T2DM who achieve HbA1c < 7.0% within the 60 to 180 days following initiation of linagliptin across pre-defined renal function categories. Renal function categories were presented based on patients with a pre-index estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value (eGFR<30, eGFR 30 to 44, eGFR 45 to 59, eGFR 60 to 89, eGFR ≥ 90 milliliter/ minute /1.73 meter^2 and eGFR not available).

    Measured: 60 to 180 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 6 May 2019. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2019). 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?

Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Across Age Categories (time frame: Baseline and 60 to 180 days). 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 6 May 2019.
