Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline of Renal Tubular Maximum Reabsorptive Capacity for Glucose (TmG) at End of Empagliflozin Treatment (Day 14)

Change from baseline of renal tubular maximum reabsorptive capacity for glucose (TmG) at end of empagliflozin treatment (Day 14). Per-protocol set (PPS): PPS consisted of all subjects and patients in the TS who completed the treatment day 14 clamping study without any relevant deviations either in their treatment regimen or in the performance and timing of the measurements.

Time frame: Baseline and Day 14

Population: Analysable set (AS): This data set is based on the PPS and excluded all primary endpoint and exploratory endpoint data for one healthy subject due to outlying values that were identified in the subject's TmG and urine splay data.
