TRAJENTA®

Efficacy

Clinical trials demonstrate that  TRAJENTA® significantly improves glycaemic control1,2 regardless of renal function,2,3 or patient age.5

In phase III clinical trials, TRAJENTA® produced clinically significant improvements in glycaemic control.1,2

Del Prato: Pooled analysis of data from 2,258 subjects in three, 24-week phase III, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies, who received oral TRAJENTA® (5 mg/day) or placebo as monotherapy, added-on to metformin, or added-on to metformin plus sulphonylurea was performed. Results shown are from 388 patients who had a high mean baseline HbA1c of 79.2 mmol/mol (9.4%).1

Cooper: Pooled analysis of individual patient data from three placebo-controlled trials (n = 2,141) based on creatinine clearance rates at baseline: normal, ≥80 ml/min; mild, 50 – <80 ml/min; moderate, 30 – <50 ml/min). For each renal function group, the change from baseline HbA1c was compared between TRAJENTA® (5 mg) and placebo. The treatment effect of TRAJENTA® was then compared among the three renal function groups. Results shown are from 1,684 patients with normal renal function.2

In randomised controlled trials (including three phase III trials), TRAJENTA® produced clinically significant improvements in glycaemic control regardless of renal function.2,3

Cooper: Pooled analysis of individual patient data from three placebo-controlled trials (n = 2,141) based on creatinine clearance rates at baseline: normal, ≥80 ml/min; mild, 50 – <80 ml/min; moderate, 30 – <50 ml/min). For each renal function group, the change from baseline HbA1c was compared between TRAJENTA® (5 mg) and placebo. The treatment effect of TRAJENTA® was then compared among the three renal function groups.2

McGill: 1-year randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled study where treatment was added to existing background therapy. 133 patients (mean age 64.4 years) had severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 ml/min /1.73 m2), an HbA1c of >7 and <10% and a BMI ≤45 kg/m2. 63.9% and 18% of the overall study population were treated with insulin alone and insulin combination respectively. Background therapy was fixed for the first 12 weeks. Between weeks 12–52, therapy could be adjusted according to glucose parameters. Primary endpoint: Change in HbA1c from baseline after 12 weeks.3

In phase III clinical trials, TRAJENTA® produced clinically significant improvements in glycaemic control regardless of patient age.5

Patel: Pre–specified subgroup analysis on pooled data from three phase III, randomised, placebo–controlled trials: treatment in monotherapy, add-on to metformin, and add–on to metformin plus sulphonylurea. Primary endpoint: Change in HbA1c from baseline after 24 weeks (in all three studies).5

TRAJENTA® (linagliptin) clinical studies

Robust clinical trials with thousands of patients

The safety profile of TRAJENTA® has been established through a cardiovascular outcome trial programme (CVOT).
TRAJENTA® (linagliptin) safety profile

Demonstrated safety profile

TRAJENTA® has a demonstrated safety profile in robust clinical trials with thousands of patients.* As TRAJENTA® is primarily excreted via the bile, it is suitable for a broad range of adults with T2D independent of renal function.4
TRAJENTA® (linagliptin) mechanism of action

TRAJENTA® selectively inhibits DPP-4

TRAJENTA® is a ‘gliptin’ and an inhibitor of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which is involved in the inactivation of the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).4
