Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Severe Chronic Renal Impairment, 5 mg BI 1356 (Linagliptin) vs. Placebo, Insulin Background Inclusive (NCT NCT00800683)

NCT ID: NCT00800683

Last Updated: 2014-05-20

Results Overview

HbA1c is measured as a Percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 12 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline continuous HbA1c , creatinine clearance at baseline and previous anti-diabetic medication.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all treated and randomised participants with a baseline and at least one on-treatment HbA1c measurement available. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used as the imputation rule.

HbA1c is measured as a Percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 12 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline continuous HbA1c , creatinine clearance at baseline and previous anti-diabetic medication.
