Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the dose-response relationship of three dose regimens of LIK066 as measured by the change from baseline in NT-proBNP relative to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in T2DM patients with HF ; Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the effect of all LIK066 doses vs placebo or empagliflozin at 12 weeks and 36 weeks on: - Change from baseline (BL) in HbA1c - Change from BL in fasting plasma glucose - Change from BL in body weight - Change from BL in body composition - Change from BL in sitting SBP and DBP - Change from BL in 24h urinary glucose and sodium excretion - Change from BL in the fasting lipid profile and hsCRP 2. Change from BL in left atrial size and volume assessed by echocardiography relative to placebo after 12 and 36 weeks of treatment 3. Change from BL in NYHA class relative to placebo after 12 and 36 weeks of treatment 4. To evaluate the change from BL to 36 weeks in all LIK066 doses vs placebo on NT-proBNP. 5. To evaluate bone mineral density and 24h urinary calcium and phosphate excretion ;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in NTproBNP at week 12;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline, week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change from baseline (BL) in HbA1c - Change from BL in fasting plasma glucose - Change from BL in body weight - Change from BL in body composition - Change from BL in sitting SBP and DBP - Change from BL in the fasting lipid profile and hsCRP - Change from BL in 24h urinary glucose and sodium excretion - Change from BL in left atrial size and volume assessed by echocardiography - Change from BL in NYHA class - Change from BL in NT-proBNP - 24h urinary calcium and phosphate excretion - bone mineral density ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline, week 12, week 36
