  Purpose

In a pooled, post-hoc analysis in patients with albuminuria, treated with current standard background therapy for diabetic nephropathy (ACEi or ARB), linagliptin significantly lowered markers of glucose control, such as HbA1c, after 24 weeks of treatment. In addition, UACR was lowered by 29% vs. placebo. Hence the hypothesis was generated that linagliptin may have clinically meaningful glycemic efficacy in this particular patient population and an antialbuminuricbpotential on top of current standard treatment for diabetic nephropathy that isbindependent of its glucose-lowering potentials.

Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) between 7 and 10% (inclusive)
  • Current therapy with ACEi or ARB at stable dose for 10 weeks
  • Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR): 30-3000 mg/g creatinine documented in the previous 12 months or detected at Screening.
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) greater than 30 ml/min.
  • Age between 18 and 80 years.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Dual or triple blockade of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS)
  • Uncontrolled hyperglycaemia
  • Mean arterial blood pressure > 110 mmHg
  • Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the investigational product, or their excipients (including matching placebos).
  • Treatment with a glitazone within 6 months prior to informed consent.
  • Treatment with a DiPeptidyl-Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, a Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, a Sodium/Glucose coTransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, a Sulfonylurea (SU), a glinide, a dopamine-agonist, a bile-acid sequestrant or insulin (except basal insulin) within 10 weeks prior to informed consent.
  • Treatment with anti-obesity drugs 10 weeks prior to informed consent.
  • Alcohol or drug abuse within 3 months prior to informed consent that would interfere with trial participation or any ongoing condition leading to a decreased compliance to study procedures or study drug intake in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Current treatment with systemic steroids (glucocorticoids) at time of informed consent or change in dosage of thyroid hormones within 6 weeks prior to informed consent.
  • Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within 2 months prior to informed consent.
