Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Short description of the primary purpose of the protocol, including a brief statement of the study hypothesis. This study is a randomized, double blind, parallel group, multi-centre trail comparing the safety and efficacy of Linagliptin 5 mg daily for 6 months in 290 patients with diabetes that will be conducted in seven centers in India and sixty three in USA, France and Philippines. The primary outcome measures will be the change from baseline in HbA1c values after 24 weeks of treatment. The secondary outcomes will be occurrence of a treat to target response that is an HbA1c under treatment of < 7.0 % after 24 weeks of treatment. Occurrence of a treat to target response that is an HbA1c under treatment of < 6.5 % after 24 weeks of treatment. Occurrence of a relative efficacy response (HbA1c lowering by at least 0.5 % after 24 weeks of treatment). HbA1c reduction from baseline by visit over time. Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) after 24 weeks of treatment. Change from baseline in FPG by visit over time. 

Expected date of First Enrollment in India - 4th February 2010

The final (actual) enrollment from India - 140 patients.
