Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Impact of empagliflozin on 24 h urinary glucose excretion (UGE) after seven days of administration compared to placebo and add-on to a stable insulin background therapy in patients with T1DM;Secondary Objective: Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of once daily oral empagliflozin in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as adjunctive therapy to insulin. An objective of the second treatment period (Day 8 to 28), when the patient¿s background insulin administration algorithm should be adjusted to achieve optimal glycaemic control, is to gain experience on the need for such adjustments and to allow for adjustment recommendations in subsequent trials;Primary end point(s): 1: Change from baseline in 24 h UGE (g/24 h) after seven days of treatment with empagliflozin 2.5 mg, 10 mg, or 25 mg, or placebo ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1: 7 days
