Initial 'run-in' phase

After your first study visit (the screening visit) you will enter the ‘run-in phase’. You will be issued with one pack of Type F Run-in Treatment consisting of one bottle (containing 112 pills) of BI 690517 10mg or matching placebo (“dummy pill”) and one pack of Type E Treatment consisting of one wallet (containing 112 pills) of empagliflozin 10mg.

Start to take Type F treatment straight away, but do not start Type E treatment until instructed by one of the local team.

Opening the empagliflozin treatment wallets

To open a treatment wallet you need to press with your thumb on the left hand side (where marked) and pull the wallet from its sleeve from the right hand side.

Please retain and bring all your used and unused study treatment bottles and wallets to each study appointment.
