Study Description

Brief Summary

Comparison of 2 doses of empagliflozin vs placebo in patients already using either an insulin regimen of multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Randomisation to 3 treatments arms (equal assignment) following a screening period, an optimisation period and a run-in period. 52 week double-blind treatment period, and 3 week follow-up period.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 [Baseline to week 26]

    Change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (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 randomised trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline. Restricted maximum likelihood estimation based on mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was used to obtain adjusted means for the treatment effects.

  2. Change From Baseline in Glycated Haemoglobin (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 haemoglobin (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 randomised trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline. Restricted maximum likelihood estimation based on mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was used to obtain adjusted means for the treatment effects.

Secondary Outcome Measures

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

    This is a key secondary endpoint. Rate per patient-year of investigator-reported symptomatic hypoglycaemia adverse events (AEs) with confirmed plasma glucose (PG) <54 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) (<3.0 millimoles per litre (mmol/L)) and/or severe hypoglycaemia AEs (i.e. all investigator-reported AEs that had confirmed PG <54 mg/dL [<3.0 mmol/L] with symptoms reported and all severe hypoglycaemia 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.

  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 randomised trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline.

  3. Change From Baseline in Percentage of Time Spent in Target Glucose Range From Weeks 23 to 26 [Week 23 to 26]

    Change from baseline in the percentage of time spent in target glucose range of >70 to ≤180 mg/dL (>3.9 to ≤10.0 mmol/L) as determined by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is presented in week 23 to 26. Least squares mean is actually an adjusted event rate.

  4. Change From Baseline in Interstitial Glucose Variability Based on the Interquartile Range (IQR) as Determined by CGM in Weeks 23 to 26 [Week 23 to 26]

    Change from baseline in interstitial glucose variability based on the IQR as determined by CGM is presented for week 23 to 26. Least squares mean is actually an adjusted event rate.

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

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

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

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

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 52-week trial comparing 2 oral once daily doses (10 mg and 25 mg) of empagliflozin with placebo in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), each as adjunctive to optimised insulin therapy.
Pre-assignment Detail 6-week T1DM therapy (insulin) optimisation period followed by a 2-week placebo run-in period before randomisation. Patients who successfully completed both of the periods were randomised into the 52-week double-blind treatment period. All treatments were administered in addition to optimised insulin therapy.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26
Description Change from baseline in glycated haemoglobin (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 randomised trial medication. Least squares mean is adjusted mean change from baseline. Restricted maximum likelihood estimation based on mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was used to obtain adjusted means for the treatment effects.
Time Frame Baseline to week 26
