About this study

The Metabolic Syndrome is a high prevalence disease worldwide. About a quarter of the adult population suffers the disease.

Dapagliflozin is an inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporter SGLT2 in the kidney and is a novel treatment for diabetes type 2. Some studies indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors have benefits on blood pressure, triglycerides levels and help to raise the levels of high density lipoproteins cholesterol (c-HDL).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.

The investigators hypothesis is that the administration of dapagliflozin modifies the metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial its going to carry out in 24 patients with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in accordance with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Waist circumference, glucose, insulin levels, lipid profile, creatinine and acid uric are going to be load after a 75 g of dextrose load.

12 patients will receive Forxiga (dapagliflozin), 10 mg, one per day before breakfast during 3 months.

The remaining 12 patients will receive placebo at the same dose.

There will be calculated Area Under the Curve of glucose and insulin, total insulin secretion (insulinogenic index), first-phase of insulin secretion (Stumvoll index) and insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index).

This protocol it's already approved by the local ethics committee and written informed consent it's going to be obtained from all volunteers.

Results will be presented as mean and standard deviation. Intra and inter group differences are going to be tested using the Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney U-test respectively; p≤0.05 it's going to be considered significant.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Waist Circumference at Week 12.

    The waist circumference is going to be evaluated at week 12 with a flexible tape with standardized techniques.

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Triglycerides Levels at Week 12.

    The triglycerides levels are going to be evaluated at week 12 with enzymatic-colorimetric techniques.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. High Density Lipoprotein (c-HDL) Levels at Week 12.

    The c-HDL levels are going to be evaluated at week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques.

    Measured: Week 12

  4. Glucose Levels at Minute 0 at Week 12.

    The fasting glucose (0') levels are going to be evaluated at week 12 with enzymatic/colorimetric techniques.

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Systolic Blood Pressure at Week 12.

    The systolic blood pressure is going to be evaluated at week 12 with a digital sphygmomanometer.

    Measured: Week 12

  6. Diastolic Blood Pressure at Week 12.

    The diastolic blood pressure is going to be evaluated at week 12 with a digital sphygmomanometer.

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Insulinogenic Index (Total Insulin Secretion) at Week 12.

    The insulinogenic index is a ratio that relates enhancement of circulating insulin to the magnitude of the corresponding glycemic stimulus.

    Total insulin secretion was calculated with the insulinogenic index (ΔAUC insulin/ΔAUC glucose), the entered values reflect the total insulin secretion at week 12.

    Measured: Week 12

  8. Stumvoll Index (First Phase of Insulin Secretion) at Week 12.

    First phase of insulin secretion was estimated using the Stumvoll index (1283+ 1.829 x insulin 30' - 138.7 x glucose 30' + 3.772 x insulin 0'), the entered values reflect the frst phase of insulin secretion at week 12.

    Measured: Week 12

  9. Matsuda Index (Total Insulin Sensitivity) at Week 12.

    Matsuda Index value is used to indicate insulin resistance on diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Metabolic Syndrome X, run by University of Guadalajara at 1 site in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Waist Circumference at Week 12. (time frame: Week 12). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02113241, which also lists 14 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2020.
