Popis: Aims This study investigated the efficacy and tolerability of empagliflozin as add-on to pioglitazone ± metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods Patients with HbA1c ≥7 and ≤10% were randomized and treated with once daily empagliflozin 10 mg (n = 165), empagliflozin 25 mg (n = 168) or placebo (n = 165) as add-on to pioglitazone ± metformin for 24 weeks. Endpoints included changes from baseline in HbA1c (primary endpoint), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and body weight at week 24. Results Adjusted mean ± standard error changes in HbA1c were −0.6 ± 0.07% and −0.7 ± 0.07% with empagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg, respectively, vs. −0.1 ± 0.07% with placebo (both p
