Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Men and women aged equal to or more than 40 years at screening. • Patients with history of T2DM lasting at least six month prior to the screening visit. • HbA1c = 8.0% (= 64 mmol/mol) at screening. • Evidence of sinus rhythm at screening ECG evaluation • No clinical signs/symptoms of a cardiac disease and no evidence of coronary artery disease on the basis of clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evaluation at screening. • Evidence at baseline echocardiographic examination of concentric left ventricular geometry, defined as relative wall thickness = 0.42. Relative wall thickness was calculated as the end-diastolic ratio 2* posterior wall thickness/LV diameter. • Evidence at baseline echocardiographic examination of LV systolic dysfunction defined as Midwall shortening (MFS) =15% • Obtained informed consent Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 130 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 56
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Patients with a confirmed indication for an incretin treatment • Uncontrolled diabetes: HbA1c >8.0% (> 64 mmol/mol) or Fasting Plasma Glucose > 300 mg/dL measured at screening visit. • Glitazones within the last three months • Permanent atrial fibrillation • Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure>160 and/or diastolic blood pressure >90) • Unstable dosage and changes in type of antihypertensive, lipid lowering and antidiabetic drugs within 4 weeks before the screening visit. • Severe chronic renal dysfunction (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2). • Previous or current documented history of untreated (by using CPAP) obstructive sleep apnea syndrome • Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. • Previous or current documented history of malignant disease • Pregnancy and breast feeding • Documented alcohol and drug abuse • Anticipated poor compliance • Current participation in a clinical trial with other investigational products
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin 5 mg daily versus the corresponding placebo on the LV systolic function (measured by midwall shortening analysis) in patients with T2DM and a documented baseline concentric LV geometry and LV systolic dysfunction.;Secondary Objective: 1.Assessment of changes in diastolic LV function. Transmitral peak E wave (pulse Doppler) and early diastolic Tissue Doppler velocity of mitral annulus (E’) will be used to classify LV diastolic function together with other parameters (E/A ratio of transmitral flow, deceleration time of E, left atrial volume, pulmonary artery systolic pressure) in 4 degrees: normal, mild dysfunction, moderate dysfunction and severe dysfunction. Changes from baseline and 48-weeks evaluation will be analyzed. 2.Assessment of changes in LV systolic longitudinal function (measured by tissue Doppler technique) (peak systolic velocity of S’ wave of mitral annulus). Changes from baseline and 48-weeks evaluation will be analyzed. Incidence of patients who have an improvement in S’> 25% from baseline (comparison between treated and not treated group). ;Primary end point(s): Changes from baseline to 48-weeks of LV systolic function measured by midwall shortening analysis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48 weeks | — |
