Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (5 mg / once daily) given for 78 weeks in different modalities of treatment.

The treatment modalities are determined by the treatment in the blinded trial in which every patient was included previously as BI 1356 in monotherapy (patients in 1218.16 trial), BI 1356 in combination with pioglitazone (patients in 1218.15 trial), BI 1356 added to metformin background (patients in 1218.17 trial) or BI 1356 added to a background therapy of metformin in combination with a sulphonylurea (patients in 1218.18 study)

Acceptable methods of birth control include transdermal patch, intra uterine devices/systems (IUDs/IUSs), oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives, true sexual abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient; periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of birth control) and vasectomised partners.
