Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of add-on dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) who had inadequate glycaemic control with metformin and linagliptin. Materials and Methods: A total of 235 patients with inadequate response to metformin (>= 1000 mg/day) plus linagliptin (5 mg/day) were randomized to receive either dapagliflozin/linagliptin fixed-dose combination (FDC [AJU-A51]) 10/5 mg/day (n = 117) or linagliptin 5 mg plus placebo (n = 118) for 24 weeks. After the main treatment period, patients who received linagliptin plus placebo were treated with AJU-A51 for an additional 28 weeks. Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to Week 24 was the primary endpoint. Results: AJU-A51 significantly reduced HbA1c levels (from 7.93% +/- 0.82% to 7.11% +/- 0.61%) compared with linagliptin plus placebo (from 7.80% +/- 0.71% to 7.87% +/- 0.94%), with a least squares mean difference of -0.88% (95% confidence interval -1.07 to -0.68; p < 0.0001) at 24 weeks. The AJU-A51 group had a significantly higher proportion of patients who achieved HbA1c <7.0% at Week 24 than the control group (44.8% vs. 18.6%; p < 0.001). The AJU-A51 group maintained glycaemic efficacy up to 52 weeks, whereas the control group showed a substantial reduction in HbA1c after switching to AJU-A51 in the extension study period. Both groups had similar incidence of treatment-emergent and serious adverse events, and no cases of symptomatic hypoglycaemia were reported. Conclusions: Dapagliflozin and linagliptin FDC (AJU-A51) showed potent glucose-lowering effects, with good tolerability, in patients with T2D who had poor glycaemic control on metformin and linagliptin ( [NCT06329674]).
