About this study

Official title: Open-label, Randomized, Two-period Comparative Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence Study of Empagliflozin + Metformin Hydrochloride 12.5 mg/1000 mg Film-coated Tablets (Gedeon Richter Plc., Hungary) Versus Synjardy 12.5 mg/1000 mg Film-coated Tablets (Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany) in Healthy Volunteers Under Fed Conditions

Empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride are two separate drugs. The combination of these two drugs in one tablet are used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise, and can be used with other drugs, if required. It is approved in Russia and also various other countries. In Russia, the brand name is Synjardy®.

The purpose of this research study is to measure the amount of the two drugs in the blood after taking two different formulations of the combination tablet. One formulation, also called Synjardy®, is an approved product in Russia marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany. The other formulation is an investigational product that is not approved. The data from this study will be used to compare the two products.

Subjects participating in this study will take 12.5 mg empagliflozin and 1000 mg metformin hydrochloride (1 combination film-coated tablet) of one formulation in each period. The maximum recommended daily dose is 25 mg of empagliflozin and 2,000 mg of metformin hydrochloride which is based on the subject's current regimen, effectiveness, and tolerability.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bioequivalence of Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride film-coated tablets and Synjardy® film-coated tablets via measuring the AUC from time 0 to last collection time t (AUC0-t)

    The primary purpose of the study is to assess the bioequivalence of Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride 12.5 mg/1000 mg film-coated tablets (Gedeon Richter Plc., Hungary) and Synjardy 12.5 mg/1000 mg film-coated tablets (Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany) in healthy, adult volunteers under fed conditions. The measurement will be based on two-sided 90% CI for the test to reference ratio of the population means is within 80.00% to 125.00% for each of the Ln-transformed data of AUC.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at about 7 weeks

  2. Bioequivalence of Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride film-coated tablets and Synjardy® film-coated tablets via measuring the maximum concentration in plasma (Cmax)

    The primary purpose of the study is to assess the bioequivalence of Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride 12.5 mg/1000 mg film-coated tablets (Gedeon Richter Plc., Hungary) and Synjardy 12.5 mg/1000 mg film-coated tablets (Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany) in healthy, adult volunteers under fed conditions. The measurement will be based on two-sided 90% CI for the test to reference ratio of the population means is within 80.00% to 125.00% for each of the Ln-transformed data of Cmax.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at about 7 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    The secondary purpose is to assess the safety and tolerability of the study products from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the end of the study. There will be no formal statistical evaluation of safety or tolerability. The safety results will be provided as listings and summary tables for each treatment group. Adverse event data listing will include AEs onset and resolution date/time, duration, time from dosing, severity, relationship to the IMP and/or the additional drug product, outcome, and the action taken to the IMP and/or additional drug product and to treat the AE.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at about 7 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride 12.5 mg/1000 mg combination film-coated tablets and Synjardy 12.5 mg/1000 mg film-coated tablets in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Gedeon Richter Plc. at 1 site in Russia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 34 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bioequivalence of Empagliflozin + Metformin hydrochloride film-coated tablets and Synjardy® film-coated tablets via measuring the AUC from time 0 to last collection time t (AUC0-t) (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at about 7 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 May 2025.
