Brief summary

The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet (formulation A1, Treatment A, Test) compared to BI 10773 given in free combination with linagliptin (Treatment B, Reference), both in the fasting state. All 42 subjects entered are planned to be included in this comparison. The secondary objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet after administration of a standardised high fat, high caloric meal (formulation A1, Treatment C, Test) compared to BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination in the fasting state (formulation A1,Treatment A, Reference). Of the 42 subjects entered 18 subjects are planned to be included in this comparison. An additional objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of a second formulation of the fixed dose combination tablet of BI 10773 / linagliptin (formulation A3,Treatment D, Test) compared to BI 10773 / linagliptin fixed dose combination tablet (formulation A1,Treatment A, Reference). Of the 42 subjects entered 24 subjects are planned to be included in this comparison.

Study Overall
A randomised, open label, three period, crossover trial. Each subject was to receive 3 of 4 possible treatments. The treatments were * Empagliflozin plus linagliptin fixed dose combination (FDC) A1 (fasted) * Empagliflozin plus linagliptin, individual tablets (fasted) * Empagliflozin plus linagliptin FDC A1 (fed) * Empagliflozin plus linagliptin FDC A3 (fasted) Drug administrations were separated by a washout period of at least 35 days. A total of 42 subjects were entered into the study, all subjects were allocated to the FDC A1 (fasted) and individual tablet treatments as this was the primary objective of the study. Along with this 18 of the subjects were allocated to receive the FDC A1 (fed) treatment and other 24 subjects to the FDC A3 treatment.
