A Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group Efficacy and Safety Study of Oral Administration of Empagliflozin Twice Daily Versus Once Daily in Two Different Daily Doses Over 16 Weeks as add-on Therapy to a Twice Daily Dosing Regimen of Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insufficient Glycaemic Control
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Placebo, empagliflozin (low dose qd), and 3 other interventions for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 983 participants across 139 sites in 18 countries.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses (high and low) of empagliflozin as add-on therapy to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insufficient glycaemic control. Both doses may be given once daily or split to a twice daily dosage. This results in 4 different dosage regimens of empagliflozin (high dose once daily or split vs. low dose once daily or split). This is done to evaluate whether a twice daily dose regimen of empagliflozin results in a loss of efficacy relative to once daily dosing when given on top of metformin background therapy.
