- Abstract
Aims To assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of a single dose of empagliflozin in young people with Type 2 diabetes to identify the appropriate doses for further paediatric development. Methods We conducted a single-dose, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study with empagliflozin 5 mg, 10 mg and 25 mg in young people with Type 2 diabetes aged 10-17 years. Results Of 39 participants screened, 27 were randomized and completed the study; their mean ( ± SD) age was 14.1±2.0 years and body weight was 96.7±23.5 kg. Compared with similar studies in adults with Type 2 diabetes, the maximum observed plasma concentrations were slightly lower with the 10-mg and 25-mg doses, and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve was slightly lower with the 10-mg but slightly higher with the 25-mg dose. The adjusted mean increases in urinary glucose excretion were 53 g/24 h (95% CI 32,74), 73 g/24 h (95% CI 52,94) and 87 g/24 h (95% CI 68,107), and the adjusted mean decreases in fasting plasma glucose were 0.9 mmol/l (95% CI -1.6,- 0.1), 0.9 mmol/l (95% CI -1.7,-0.2) and 1.1 mmol/l (95% CI -1.8,-0.5) for the 5- 10- and 25-mg doses, respectively. There were no serious adverse events and one investigator-reported drug-related event (dehydration). Conclusions After a single oral dose of empagliflozin, adults and young people with Type 2 diabetes had similar exposure-response relationships after adjusting for significant covariates. These data support testing 10-mg and/or 25- mg doses of empagliflozin in an upcoming paediatric phase III Type 2 diabetes trial.
