A Phase IIb, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Safety and Efficacy Study of BI 10773 (10 mg and 25 mg) Administered Orally, Once Daily Over 78 Weeks in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Receiving Treatment With Basal Insulin (Glargine, Detemir, or NPH Insulin Only) With or Without Concomitant Metformin and/or Sulfonylurea Therapy and Insufficient Glycemic Control
Abstract
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 at two different doses compared to placebo during long term treatment (78 weeks) in combination with basal insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) After 18 Weeks of Treatment.
Enrollment: 494 participants.
