Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company Alliance to Feature 34 Presentations in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes at the 73rd American Diabe
Alliance to feature research data for linagliptin and the investigational compound empagliflozin*

INGELHEIM, Germany and INDIANAPOLIS - Tuesday, June 11th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ex US & UK Medical Media Only

Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company are pleased to announce that the companies’ diabetes alliance will have a strong scientific and clinical presence at the 73rd American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions® in Chicago, 21–25 June, with 34 posters, abstracts and an oral presentation.

Empagliflozin* Data

A total of 17 clinical and pre-clinical abstracts for the investigational agent empagliflozin will be presented, including three late-breaker abstracts. Empagliflozin is a member of the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class of drugs and is being investigated for the reduction of blood glucose levels in adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The emerging SGLT2 inhibitor class removes excess glucose through the urine by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidney.

Details of clinical empagliflozin presentations and published abstracts are as follows:1

    Saturday, 22 June, 11:30–13:30, General Poster Session
        Sodium Glucose Cotransport-2 Inhibition with Empagliflozin Attenuates Renal Hyperfiltration in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) (Presenting Author: D. Cherney) [Poster No. 1196-P]
    Sunday, 23 June, 12:00-14:00, General Poster Session

    Publication Only

Linagliptin Data

A total of 17 clinical and pre-clinical abstracts regarding linagliptin will also be presented, including two late-breaker abstracts. Linagliptin is an inhibitor of the enzyme DPP-4 which breaks down the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) that are involved with regulating blood sugar.2

Details of all clinical presentations and published abstracts are as follows:1

    Regardless of the degree of glycemic control, linagliptin (LINA) has Lower hypoglycemia risk than all doses of glimepiride (GLIM) at all time points over a 2-year trial (Presenting Author: B. Gallwitz) [Late-breaking poster – Poster No. 68-LB]
    Linagliptin vs. placebo followed by glimepiride in type 2 diabetes patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (Presenting Author: S. Patel) [Poster No. 1090-P]

    The dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor linagliptin improves beta cell function and postprandial glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes (Presenting Author: M. Larbig) [Poster No. 1138-P]
    Efficacy and safety of linagliptin monotherapy in Asian patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus: a 24-week, randomised, Phase III clinical trial (Presenting Author: Y. Chen) [Poster No. 1159-P]
    Efficacy and safety of linagliptin in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on metformin: a 24-week, randomised, Phase III clinical trial (Presenting Author: W. Wang) [Poster No. 1177-P]
    Baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in the cardiovascular outcome study of linagliptin versus glimepiride in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (CAROLINA) (Published Author: N. Marx) [Abstract book for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 73rd Scientific Sessions]

Linagliptin, which is marketed as Trajenta® 5mg tablets in Europe, is a once-daily tablet used along with diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Linagliptin should not be used in patients with Type 1 Diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that does not require dose adjustments that may be brought about by declining renal function or hepatic impairment.
