Trial Outcomes & Findings for Demonstrate Bioequivalence of Two 12.5 mg Empagliflozin/500 mg Metformin Fixed Dose Combination Tablets With Free Combination of Empagliflozin 25 mg and Metformin 1000 mg in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers Under Fed Conditions (NCT NCT02577315)
NCT ID: NCT02577315
Last Updated: 2016-11-30
Results Overview
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). Geometric means (gMeans) represent adjusted gMeans and geometric coefficient of variation (gCV) reflects the intra-individual gCV (%) from the mixed model analysis.

Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) / Empagliflozin + Metformin
Participants first received 2 film-coated tablets of 12.5 milligram (mg) Empagliflozin and 500 mg Metformin as a single dose in a fixed dose combination (FDC), then they received free combination of 1 film-coated tablet of 25 mg Empagliflozin and 1 film-coated tablet of 1000 mg Metformin (brand name: Glucophage) as a single dose. The study medication was administered orally in the morning with 200 mL of water after intake of a high-fat, high-caloric meal. Single dose in each treatment period was separated by a washout phase of at least 5 days between drug administrations.
