Participant flow
Recruitment details
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study compared 3 doses of empagliflozin (2.5 milligram (mg), 10 mg, and 25 mg) with placebo in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as adjunctive to optimized insulin therapy.
Pre-assignment details
6-Week T1DM therapy (insulin) optimisation period followed by a 2-Week placebo run-in period before randomization. Patients who successfully completed both of the periods were randomized into the 26-Week double-blind treatment period. All treatments were administered in addition to optimized insulin therapy.
