Study summary

The primary objective is to demonstrate superior glycaemic control (HbA1c reduction) after 30 weeks of linagliptin/pioglitazone (5/15, 5/30 and 5/45 mg) versus the respective individual monotherapies of pioglitazone (15 mg, 30 mg, or 45 mg, administered orally once daily), and linagliptin (5 mg, administered orally once daily). In addition, durability of treatment effect and safety under chronic treatment conditions will be investigated.

Limitations and caveats
The study (Part B treatment only) was stopped early by protocol amendment #5, although Part A (time frame for all efficacy outcomes) proceeded to completion

Participant flow

After Amendment #5, patients were considered COMPLETED at the end of Part A (30 weeks) or after their next Part B visit (up to 54 weeks) if already in Part B. Before Amendment #5, all patients were considered COMPLETED at the end of Part A + Part B (84 weeks).
