Linagliptin/metformin Fixed-dose Combination Treatment: A Dual Attack To Type 2 Diabetes Pathophysiology

, Volume 29, Issue12 , pp 9931004 | Cite as Linagliptin/Metformin Fixed-Dose Combination Treatment: A Dual Attack to Type 2 Diabetes Pathophysiology Combination therapies are a widely accepted approach to type 2 diabetes treatment, considering that monotherapies fail to provide adequate glycemic control in the majority of cases. The combination of oral antidiabetic agents into a single tablet would significantly simplify the therapeutic regimen and maximize patients adherence to treatment. Recently, a fixed-dose, single-tablet, combined formulation of linagliptin (a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor) and metformin has been approved for use in type 2 diabetic patients, and is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise for those patients who remain inadequately controlled despite maximal tolerated doses of metformin, metformin and sulfonylurea, or linagliptin and metformin monotherapies. The combination tablet is administered twice daily and can be used either alone or combined with sulfonylureas. Clinical trials suggest that this fixed-dose combination provides significantly superior glycemic control compared to linagliptin and metformin monotherapy, in terms of improving key parameters of glucose homeostasis such as glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting and postprandial glucose levels. It also exhibits an excellent tolerability profile, without promoting weight gain and hypoglycemic episodes. The compounds of this formulation do not display clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions with each other, and exert synergistic (complementary) pharmacodynamic effects, including an enhanced incretin effect, suppressed hepatic glucose production, and improved peripheral insulin sensitivity. As a result, a linagliptin/metformin fixeddose combination offers the potential to add Continue reading >>

Linagliptin Fixed-dose Combination With Metformin Is Bioequivalent To Co-administration Of Linagliptin And Metformin As Individual Tablets.

Linagliptin Fixed-dose Combination With Metformin Is Bioequivalent To Co-administration Of Linagliptin And Metformin As Individual Tablets.

Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2014 Jul;52(7):537-48. doi: 10.5414/CP201960. Linagliptin fixed-dose combination with metformin is bioequivalent to co-administration of linagliptin and metformin as individual tablets. To demonstrate bioequivalence of linagliptin/metformin fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets and the corresponding combination of individual tablets taken together, i.e., free-pill (FP) treatment. Three dosing combinations were evaluated in three separate randomized studies: linagliptin 2.5 mg with 500 mg, 850 mg, or 1,000 mg metformin. These studies used a prospective, open-label, randomized, two-way crossover design to evaluate bioequivalence in healthy volunteers (n = 287). After an overnight fast, participants received an FDC tablet once, and on a separate visit received the corresponding FP treatment. The two possible treatment sequences (FDC/FP and FP/FDC) were randomly allocated to the participants. A washout period of 35 days separated the two study treatments. The primary endpoints were maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of linagliptin and metformin, area under the plasma concentration time curve from 0 to 72 hours (AUC0-72) for linagliptin, and from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) for metformin. The 90% confidence intervals of the adjusted geometric mean ratios of Cmax and AUC (calculated as FDC/ FP) were within the bioequivalence acceptance limits of 80 - 125%. The number of participants reporting at least one adverse event following FDC treatments was comparable to, or less than, that following FP treatments. Evaluation of vital signs and clinical laboratory tests revealed no safety issues. FDC tablets of linagliptin and metformin are bioequivalent to individual tablets of respective dose strengths taken together. Both treatments were well tolerated. Continue reading >>

Jentadueto (linagliptin / Metformin Hydrochloride) - Summary

Jentadueto (linagliptin / Metformin Hydrochloride) - Summary

Lactic acidosis is a rare, but serious, complication that canoccur due to metformin accumulation. The risk increases with conditionssuch as renal impairment, sepsis, dehydration, excess alcohol intake,hepatic impairment, and acute congestive heart failure. The onset is often subtle, accompaniedonly by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, myalgias, respiratorydistress, increasing somnolence, and nonspecific abdominal distress. Laboratory abnormalitiesinclude low pH, increased anion gap, and elevated blood lactate. If acidosis is suspected,JENTADUETO should be discontinued and the patient hospitalized immediately [see Warnings and Precautions ]. JENTADUETO tablets contain 2 oral antihyperglycemicdrugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: linagliptinand metformin hydrochloride. Linagliptin is an orally-active inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4(DPP-4) enzyme. Metformin hydrochloride (N,N -dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride) is not chemically or pharmacologically related to any other classes oforal antihyperglycemic agents. JENTADUETO tablets are indicated as an adjunctto diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both linagliptin and metforminis appropriate [see Dosage and Administration and Clinical Studies ]. JENTADUETO shouldnot be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatmentof diabetic ketoacidosis, as it would not be effective in these settings. JENTADUETO has not been studied in patientswith a history of pancreatitis. It is unknown whether patients witha history of pancreatitis are at an increased risk for the developmentof pancreatitis while using JENTADUETO [see Warnings and Precautions ]. Continue reading >>

Relative Bioavailability Study Of Linagliptin/metformin Tablets In Healthy Chinese Subjects

Relative bioavailability study of linagliptin/metformin tablets in healthy Chinese subjects Solen Pichereau, Xia Zhao, Yimin Cui, Shuai Zhao, Kathrin Hohl, Thomas Meinicke, Christian Friedrich International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2015, 53 (7): 582-92 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relative bioavailability of single pill combination (SPC) tablets of linagliptin and metformin compared with separate tablets co-administered in healthy Chinese subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was an open-label, single-dose, randomized, two-period, crossover study in healthy Chinese subjects with two dose groups: linagliptin 2.5 mg/metformin 850 mg and linagliptin 2.5 mg/metformin 500 mg. Within each group (n=24), subjects received one dose of the SPC tablet in one period and one dose of the separate tablets in the other. Primary endpoints were area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 72 hours (AUC0-72) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for linagliptin, and AUC from 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-tz) and Cmax for metformin. RESULTS: With the linagliptin 2.5 mg/metformin 850 mg dose, the adjusted geometric mean ratio of the SPC to the separate tablets for linagliptin was 99.53% (90% confidence interval (CI): 94.75-104.55) for AUC0-72 and 101.93% (90% CI: 95.36-108.95) for Cmax; for metformin the ratio was 96.99% (90% CI: 90.62-103.81) for AUC0-tz and 94.64% (90% CI: 85.43-104.84) for Cmax. With the linagliptin 2.5 mg/metformin 500 mg dose, the ratio with linagliptin for AUC0-72 and Cmax was 100.81% (90% CI: 95.14-106.82) and 111.37% (90% CI: 100.40-123.54), respectively; the same statistical parameters with metformin for AUC0-tz and Cmax were 102.95% (90% CI: 96.24-110.12) and 102.46% (90% CI: 92.20-113.87), respectively.

Jentadueto New Fda Drug Approval | Centerwatch

Jentadueto is a fixed dose combination of linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, plus metformin, which helps to control the amount of glucose in the blood. Jentadueto is specifically approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type II diabetes mellitus when treatment with bothlinagliptin and metformin is appropriate. Jentadueto is supplied as a tablet for oral administration. Jentadueto should be individualized on the basis of both effectiveness and tolerability, while not exceeding the maximum recommended dose of 2.5 mg linagliptin/1000 mg metformin twice daily. The recommended starting dose is as follows: Subjects not currently treated with metformin: initiate treatment with 2.5 mg linagliptin/500 mg metformin hydrochloride twice daily Subjects already treated with metformin: start with 2.5 mg linagliptin and the current dose of metformin taken at each of the two daily meals Subjects already treated with linagliptin and metformin: individual components may be switched to Jentadueto containing the same doses of each component. The FDA approval of Jentadueto was based on clinical trials that evaluated linagliptin and metformin as separate tablets. Bioequivalence of Jentadueto was demonstrated with co-administered linagliptin and metformin tablets in healthy subjects. A 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled factorial study enrolled 791 adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise who received linagliptin plus metformin concurrently. At the maximum dose (2.5 mg linagliptin/1,000 mg metformin twice-daily) Jentadueto demonstrated placebo-corrected reductions in hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c) levels of up to 1.7% (+0.1% for placebo and -1.6% for Jentadueto).

Fixed-dose Empagliflozin/linagliptin Combinations Improved Hba1c In Type 2 Diabetes

Fixed-dose Empagliflozin/linagliptin Combinations Improved Hba1c In Type 2 Diabetes

Fixed-dose empagliflozin/linagliptin combinations improved HbA1c in type 2 diabetes Whether already on metformin or drug-naive, patients with type 2 diabetes achieved better HbA1c control with fixed-dose combinations of empagliflozin/linagliptin than either therapy alone, according to research presented at the 50th European Association for the Study of Diabetes Annual Meeting. The fixed-dose combinations were well tolerated and showed overall safety profiles similar to those demonstrated for empagliflozin and linagliptin monotherapies in the randomized, double blind, parallel, 52-week phase 3 study, according to a presentation and poster. We are encouraged by the results of this study because it showed clinically meaningful reductions in blood glucose levels with the empagliflozin/linagliptin combination when used with or without metformin, Hans-J. Woerle, MD, vice president of therapeutic area metabolism for Boehringer Ingelheim, said in a press release. Ralph A. DeFronzo, MD, of the University of Texas Health Sciences in San Antonio, along with Sanjay Patel, MD, of Boehringer Ingelheim Ltd., and colleagues compared empagliflozin 25 mg/linagliptin 5 mg (n=137), empagliflozin 10 mg/linagliptin 5 mg (n=136), empagliflozin 25 mg (n=141), empagliflozin 10 mg (n=140) and linagliptin 5 mg (n=132).

New metformin fixed-dose combinations PBS listed New metformin fixed-dose combinations PBS listed Four new metformin/gliptin fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes are now available on the PBS: metformin with alogliptin (Nesina Met), which was listed on 1 February 2014 metformin XR with saxagliptin (Kombiglyze XR) and linagliptin with metformin (Trajentamet), which were both listed on 1 March 2014 metformin XR and sitagliptin (Janumet XR) listed from 1 May 2014 (Table 1). All four products are listed as Authority required (Streamlined) benefit for treatment of patients whose HbA1c is > 7% before starting a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (gliptin), despite treatment with metformin. It should be noted that there is no requirement in the listing restriction for patients to have trialled, or have contraindications to, sulfonylurea (Table 1). Metformin extended release versus immediate release Two of the four new combinations contain the metformin extended-release (XR) formulation. In clinical trials metformin XR has been shown to have efficacy comparable to that of immediate-release (IR) metformin. 1, 2 In addition to comparable efficacy it is claimed that the metformin XR formulation results in fewer GI side effects than metformin IR. 2-4 Metformin XR may therefore be an option for patients who experience an unacceptable level of GI side effects with metformin IR. 2, 4, 5 However, a retrospective cohort study investigating relative GI tolerability only showed a lower incidence of GI side effects for patients who had been switched from metformin IR to metformin XR after GI upset, or for treatment-nave patients who had been started on metformin XR. 6 The study did not show any difference overall in GI adverse events between groups given IR or Continue reading >>

Jentadueto (linagliptin And Metformin Hydrochloride): Side Effects, Interactions, Warning, Dosage & Uses

(linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride) Extended-Release Tablets, for Oral Use Postmarketing cases of metformin-associated lactic acidosis have resulted in death, hypothermia, hypotension, and resistant bradyarrhythmias. The onset of metformin-associated lactic acidosis is often subtle, accompanied only by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, somnolence, and abdominal pain. Metformin-associated lactic acidosis was characterized by elevated blood lactate levels (>5 mmol/Liter), anion gap acidosis (without evidence of ketonuria or ketonemia), an increased lactate/pyruvate ratio; and metformin plasma levels generally >5 mcg/mL [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ]. Risk factors for metformin-associated lactic acidosis include renal impairment, concomitant use of certain drugs (e.g., carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as topiramate), age 65 years old or greater, having a radiological study with contrast, surgery and other procedures, hypoxic states (e.g., acute congestive heart failure), excessive alcohol intake, and hepatic impairment. Steps to reduce the risk of and manage metformin-associated lactic acidosis in these high risk groups are provided in the full prescribing information [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION , CONTRAINDICATIONS , WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS , DRUG INTERACTIONS and Use In Specific Populations ]. If metformin-associated lactic acidosis is suspected, immediately discontinue JENTADUETO XR and institute general supportive measures in a hospital setting. Prompt hemodialysis is recommended [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ]. JENTADUETO XR tablets contain 2 oral antihyperglycemic drugs used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride.
