Finding a Safe and Effective Dose of Linagliptin in Pediatric Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Dose-finding Study of Linagliptin (1 and 5 mg Administered Orally Once Daily) Over 12 Weeks in Children and Adolescents, From 10 to 17 Years of Age, With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to identify the dose of linagliptin in paediatric patients. Other efficacy objectives include the comparison of the lowering effect of linagliptin low dose, high dose and placebo on the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) observed after 12 wk of treatment. Furthermore, the study will investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), the pharmacodynamics (PD) and the PK/PD relationship of linagliptin in the paediatric population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (%) After 12 Weeks of Treatment
Change from baseline in Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) \[%\] after 12 weeks of treatment with double-blind trial medication. Baseline was defined as the last observation before the first intake of any double-blind randomised trial medication. The number of participants analysed displays the number of participants with available data at the timepoint of interest.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Paediatric patients (children and adolescents), aged 10 to 17 years with documented diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Insufficient glycaemic control (i.e. an HbA1c \> 6.5% and \<= 10.5%) despite treatment with diet and exercise and/or metformin (\>= 1000 mg per day (or the maximum tolerated dose) at a stable dose or dosing frequency for 8 weeks prior to randomisation) and/or concomitant stable basal insulin (total daily dose must be \<= 0.5U/kg with less than 10% of weekly dose change for 12 weeks prior to randomisation)
- Negative for islet cell antigen (ICA) auto-antibodies and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) auto-antibodies
- C-peptide levels (serum) \>= 1.5 ng/ml (at 90 min following a Boost challenge)
You may not qualify if:
- History of acute metabolic decompensation, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, within 3 months
- Current short-acting insulin or having received short-acting insulin for more than 3 days within 1 month prior to randomisation
- Treatment with weight reduction medications (including anti-obesity treatments)
