About this study

This is a single center, prospective, randomized, placebo -controlled, parallel design and double blind study to evaluate oxidative stress, inflammation and hypertension markers and mediators before and after treatment with dapagliflozin.

Read the detailed description

Two groups of 26 patients each (total 52 patients) with type 2 diabetes on oral agents will be included in the study. One group will be randomized to dapagliflozin (a dose of 5 mg daily will be titrated to 10 mg daily during the first week) while the other will be placebo. The patients will be treated for 12 weeks. Only half the patients (equal numbers in both groups) will be tested for the secondary endpoints related to postprandial and single dose induced changes. The primary endpoint of the study is to detect a significant difference in the percent change in fasting Nuclear factor-k B (NFκB) activation (DNA binding activity) in mononuclear cells (MNC) before and after dapagliflozin use (0 week vs. 12 weeks) as compared to placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dapagliflozin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University at Buffalo at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 30 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 30 Oct 2019). 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?

Difference in the Percent Change in Fasting Nuclear Factor Kappa-light-chain-enhancer of Activated B Cells Activation (DNA Binding Activity) in Mononuclear Cells Before and After Dapagliflozin Use (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT02433678, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Oct 2019.
