Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 for Full Analysis Set (FAS) (Observed Cases [OC]) [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for full analysis set (FAS) (observed cases [OC]) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

  2. Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 for Modified Intention-to-treat Population Set (mITT) (Observed Case (OC) - All Data (AD) (OC-AD)) [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for modified intention-to-treat population set (mITT) (observed case - all data [OC-AD]) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate Per Patient-year of Investigator-reported Symptomatic Hypoglycemic Adverse Events (AEs) With Confirmed Plasma Glucose (PG) [Week 5 to Week 26, Week 1 to Week 26]

    Rate per patient-year of investigator-reported symptomatic hypoglycemic adverse events (AEs) with confirmed plasma glucose (PG) <54 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) (<3.0 millimoles per litre (mmol/L)) and/or severe hypoglycemic AEs (i.e. all investigator-reported AEs that had confirmed PG <54 mg/dL [<3.0 mmol/L] with symptoms reported and all severe hypoglycemic events that were confirmed by adjudication) is presented for (i) From week 5 to 26 and (ii) From week 1 to 26. Least squares mean is actually an adjusted event rate. This is key secondary endpoints.

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 26 [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in body weight is presented With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

  3. Change From Baseline in Total Daily Insulin Dose (TDID) at Week 26 [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in Total daily insulin dose (TDID) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

  4. Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at Week 26 [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study compared 3 doses of empagliflozin (2.5 milligram (mg), 10 mg, and 25 mg) with placebo in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as adjunctive to optimized insulin therapy.
Pre-assignment Detail 6-Week T1DM therapy (insulin) optimisation period followed by a 2-Week placebo run-in period before randomization. Patients who successfully completed both of the periods were randomized into the 26-Week double-blind treatment period. All treatments were administered in addition to optimized insulin therapy.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 for Full Analysis Set (FAS) (Observed Cases [OC])
Description Change from baseline in Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for full analysis set (FAS) (observed cases [OC]) is presented. With regards to efficacy and safety endpoints, the term 'baseline' referred to the last observed measurement prior to administration of any randomized trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.
Time Frame Baseline to week 26
