A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Linagliptin 5 mg Compared to Placebo, Administered as Oral Fixed Dose Combination With Empagliflozin 10 mg or 25 mg for 24 Weeks, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insufficient Glycaemic Control After 16 Weeks of Treatment With Empagliflozin 10 mg or 25 mg on Metformin Background Therapy

Change From Baseline of HbA1c After 24 Weeks of Treatment.

时间窗: Baseline and 24 weeks

Change from baseline in Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) \[%\] after 24 weeks of treatment with double-blind trial medication, i.e. HbA1c change from baseline at Week 24. The term "baseline" was not used to refer to measurements prior to the administration of open-label medication. Such measurements were referred to as "pre-treatment". Analyses of change from pre-treatment used the last value before first administration of open-label medication as point of reference. Observed Case (OC): This method analyse only available data that were observed while patients were on treatment, i.e., excluding the missing data. All values measured after rescue medication taken were set to missing. Full Analysis Set (FAS): Includes all patients in the Treated set who had a baseline HbA1c assessment and at least 1 on-treatment HbA1c assessment during the double-blind part of the trial.
