New paragraphs have been added to this section including:
Linagliptin as add on to insulin therapy
The efficacy and safety of the addition of linagliptin 5 mg to insulin alone or in combination with metformin and/or pioglitazone has been evaluated in a double blind placebo controlled study of 24 weeks duration. Linagliptin provided significant improvements in HbA1c (-0.65% compared to placebo) from a mean baseline HbA1c of 8.3%. Linagliptin also provided significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and a greater proportion of patients achieved a target HbA1c of < 7.0%, compared to placebo. This was achieved with a stable insulin dose (40.1 UI). Body weight did not differ significantly between the groups. Effects on plasma lipids were negligible. The observed incidence of hypoglycaemia in patients treated with linagliptin was similar to placebo (22.2% linagliptin; 21.2% placebo).
Linagliptin as add on therapy in elderly patients (age ≥ 70 years) with type 2 diabetes
The efficacy and safety of linagliptin in elderly (age ≥ 70years) type 2 diabetes patients was evaluated in a double blind study of 24 weeks duration. Patients received metformin and/or sulphonylurea and/or insulin as background therapy. Doses of background antidiabetic medications were kept stable during the first 12 weeks, after which adjustments were permitted. Linagliptin provided significant improvements in HbA1c (-0.64 % change compared to placebo after 24 weeks), from a mean baseline HbA1c of 7.8%. Linagliptin also showed significant improvements in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) compared to placebo. Body weight did not differ significantly between the groups.
The section “Cardiovascular risk” has been amended substantially.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
The heading under “Special populations” called “Renal insufficiency” has been changed to “Renal impairment”
