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)

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2018

30 participants

Abstract

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.

Conditions: Healthy.

Primary outcome: 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); Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Metformin in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz); Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Linagliptin in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to 72 Hours (h) (AUC0-72); Maximum Measured Concentration of the Empagliflozin in Plasma (Cmax); Maximum Measured Concentration of the Linagliptin in Plasma (Cmax); Maximum Measured Concentration of the Metformin in Plasma (Cmax).

Enrollment: 30 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 30 participants or records.
