About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence of a Low Strength Fixed Dose Combination Tablet of Empagliflozin/Linagliptin/Metformin Extended Release Compared to the Free Combination of Empagliflozin, Linagliptin, and Metformin Extended Release Tablets Following Oral Administration in Healthy Male and Female Subjects (an Open-label, Randomised, Single-dose, Two-period, Two-sequence Crossover Study)

The primary objective of this trial is to establish the bioequivalence of two empagliflozin/linagliptin/metformin extended release (XR) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets (Test, T) compared with the same doses of the individual components given in separate tablets (Reference, R) when administered together after a high-fat, high-calorie meal.

The assessment of safety and tolerability will be the secondary objective of this trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Empagliflozin, Metformin HCl, Linagliptin (fixed dose combination), 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 8 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 21 Feb 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 Empagliflozin in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) (time frame: Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were collected 1:30 hours:minutes (h:m) 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 h:m after drug administration.). 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 21 Feb 2020.
