What is being measured

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

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

    Area under the concentration-time curve of empagliflozin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz) normalized to the actual administered dose is presented. The AUC0-tz was divided by the actual dose strength to get the normalized area under the concentration-time curve. The statistical model used for the analysis of the primary endpoints was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: sequence, subjects within sequences, period and treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' was considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. Unit of measure:(hour*nanogram/milliliter)/milligram.

    Measured: Within 5 minutes (min) before and 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h, 1h15min, 1h30min, 1h45min, 2h, 2h20min, 2h40min, 3h, 3h30min, 4h, 4h30min, 5h, 5h30min, 6h, 7h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 48h, and 72h after treatment administration for both arms.

  2. Dose-normalized Maximum Measured Concentration of Empagliflozin (Cmax)

    Dose-normalized Maximum measured concentration of empagliflozin in plasma is presented. The maximum measured concentration was divided by the actual dose strength to get the dose-normalised Cmax. The statistical model used for the analysis of the primary endpoints was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: sequence, subjects within sequences, period and treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' was considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. The unit of measure reported is: (nanogram/milliliter)/milligram.

    Area under the concentration-time curve of metformin in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz) is presented. The statistical model used for the analysis of the primary endpoints was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: sequence, subjects within sequences, period and treatment.

  4. Maximum Measured Concentration of Metformin (Cmax)

    Maximum measured concentration of metformin in plasma is presented. The statistical model used for the analysis of the primary endpoints was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: sequence, subjects within sequences, period and treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FDC 12.5mg empagliflozin/850mg metformin, Empagliflozin and Glifage® in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Brazil.

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 11 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 27 Jul 2023. 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 Brazil. 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 27 Jul 2023). 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?

Dose-normalized Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Empagliflozin in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) (time frame: Within 5 minutes (min) before and 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h, 1h15min, 1h30min, 1h45min, 2h, 2h20min, 2h40min, 3h, 3h30min, 4h, 4h30min, 5h, 5h30min, 6h, 7h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 24h, 48h, and 72h after treatment administration for both arms.). 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 27 Jul 2023.
