Aim: This Phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods: Four hundred and eight patients (treatment-naive or after a 4-week wash-out period) were randomized to receive empagliflozin 5, 10 or 25mg once daily, placebo or open-label metformin for 12weeks. The primary endpoint was change in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c ) after 12weeks.Results: After 12weeks' treatment, empagliflozin showed dose-dependent reductions in HbA1c from baseline [5mg: -0.4%, 10mg: -0.5%, 25mg: -0.6%; all doses p
