Brief Summary

To establish the bioequivalence of one fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet of empagliflozin/linagliptin/metformin extended release (XR) versus the free combination of empagliflozin tablet, linagliptin tablet, and metformin XR tablets administered as a single dose under fed conditions

Conditions

Healthy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of the Analyte in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) for Empagliflozin

  Area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz) for empagliflozin. Plasma concentrations and/or parameters of a subject were to be considered as non-evaluable,if for example: * The subject experienced emesis that occurred at or before 2 times median tmax of the respective treatment (median tmax was to be determined excluding the subjects experiencing emesis) * A predose concentration was \>5% Cmax value of that subject * Missing samples/concentration data at important phases of pharmacokinetic (PK) disposition curve. Pharmacokinetic parameter set (PKS): This subject set included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least one primary or secondary PK parameter that was not excluded according to the description above. Thus, a subject was to be included in the PKS even if he/she contributed only one PK parameter value for one period to the statistical assessment.
