此次进行的临床III期研究持续52周,共有1363位II类糖尿病患者参与。结果显示,无论empagliflozin/利格列汀联合用药作为二甲双胍的辅助用药或是单独用药,都能大幅度降低患者体内的血糖水平。
“As Type 2 Diabetes is a complex and progressive condition, new treatment approaches may be required to help control blood glucose and the single tablet combination of empagliflozin/linagliptin may provide an important option for these patients.”
“We are encouraged by the results of this study because it showed clinically meaningful reductions in blood glucose levels with the empagliflozin/linagliptin combination when used with or without metformin,” said Prof Hans-J. Woerle, Vice President, Head of medicine, Therapeutic Area metabolism, Boehringer Ingelheim. “As Type 2 Diabetes is a complex and progressive condition, new treatment approaches may be required to help control blood glucose and the single tablet combination of empagliflozin/linagliptin may provide an important option for these patients.”
