Linagliptin added to sulphonylurea in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment. [2014]
Glucose-lowering treatment options are limited for uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with advanced stages of renal impairment (RI)... These data suggest that linagliptin is a safe and effective glucose-lowering treatment in T2DM patients with moderate-to-severe RI for whom sulphonylurea treatment is no longer sufficient.

Clinical Trials Related to Tradjenta (Linagliptin)

Linagliptin Inpatient Trial [Recruiting]
A total of 280 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who have undergone surgical procedure will be enrolled in the study. These patients could be on diet, oral hypoglycemia medication or low dose insulin prior to their admission. This study is a prospective, randomized, open label trial to compare the safety and efficacy of linagliptin (an oral anti diabetic medication) given orally once daily to an insulin regimen of glargine once daily plus rapid-acting insulin before meals. Both of these treatment groups will be given corrective doses of rapid-acting insulin analogs (aspart, lispro or glulisine) before meals if their blood sugars are > 140 mg/dl. The patients will be monitored for their blood sugars while the hospital. If patients are agreeable to participate in the discharge part of the study, the investigators will randomized them to a treatment group based on their admission HbA1c. The investigators will follow these patients for 3 months with phone calls and clinic visits, and will monitor their blood sugars. This is to compare the efficacy of linagliptin and our discharge treatment algorithm in controlling blood sugars as out patients.

Rel. BA of Empagliflozin (BI 10773)/Linagliptin FDC Tbl, Comparison With Mono-components, With a Second FDC Tablet and Influence of Food [Completed]
The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet (formulation A1, Treatment A, Test) compared to BI 10773 given in free combination with linagliptin (Treatment B, Reference), both in the fasting state. All 42 subjects entered are planned to be included in this comparison. The secondary objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet after administration of a standardised high fat, high caloric meal (formulation A1, Treatment C, Test) compared to BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination in the fasting state (formulation A1,Treatment A, Reference). Of the 42 subjects entered 18 subjects are planned to be included in this comparison. An additional objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of a second formulation of the fixed dose combination tablet of BI 10773 / linagliptin (formulation A3,Treatment D, Test) compared to BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet (formulation A1,Treatment A, Reference). Of the 42 subjects entered 24 subjects are planned to be included in this comparison.

The Effect of LINAGLIPTIN on Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance in Obese Type 2 Diabetes Subjects [Recruiting]
This is a single center, prospective randomized double blind, parallel and placebo controlled study to evaluate oxidative stress and inflammation before and after treatment with linagliptin for 12 weeks. We will also, testing whether Linagliptin is an insulin sensitizer.

Effect of Linagliptin on Insulin Sensitivity and Pancreatic Beta Cell Function in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [Recruiting]
This study is planned to evaluate if linagliptin can improve insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the effect of linagliptin on pancreatic function will be studied.

Pharmacokinetics of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) Tablets of Linagliptin /Metformin [Completed]
The aim of the trial is to assess the relative bioavailability of fixed dose combination tablets of linagliptin and metformin compared to the administration of two single tablets (linagliptin and metformin ) in Chinese subjects. The availability of a fixed dose combination tablet is expected to significantly enhance patients` compliance with antidiabetic treatment., in particular with concern to the frequent polypharmacy in diabetic patients.
