Frequently asked questions about Linagliptin/Metformin

What is Linagliptin used for?

Linagliptin is a small molecule drug being developed for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and has been studied in healthy subjects. It is in Phase 3 clinical development by Eli Lilly and Company. The drug has been evaluated in 11 completed trials with a total enrollment of 11,124 participants.

How does Linagliptin work?

Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that works by blocking the enzyme DPP-4, which degrades incretin hormones. This increases active incretin levels, helping to regulate blood glucose by enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner.

Who makes Linagliptin?

Linagliptin is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol LLY. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical development for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

What phase is Linagliptin in?

Linagliptin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The drug has completed 11 clinical trials, with no active trials currently ongoing.

What clinical trials is Linagliptin in?

Linagliptin has been studied in 11 completed clinical trials. Notable trials include NCT01204294, a Phase 3 study in Japan for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and several Phase 1 bioequivalence studies in healthy subjects, such as NCT02084082 and NCT02121509, which tested fixed-dose combination tablets with metformin.

Is Linagliptin the same as Tradjenta?

Linagliptin is the generic name for the drug marketed as Tradjenta. It is a DPP-4 inhibitor used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The drug is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company and is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials.
