Outcome results

Primary

Total Empagliflozin: Area Under the Curve 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

Area under the concentration-time curve of total empagliflozin (empa) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity.

Time frame: 15 minutes (min) prior to the first dose and 20min, 40min, 1 hour (h), 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after the first dose

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) set: The PK analysis set includes all subjects who took at least 1 dose of investigational treatment and provided at least 1 evaluable observation for at least 1 primary PK endpoint in at least 1 treatment period without any important protocol violations relevant to the evaluation of PK.
