About this study

Official title: Effect of Dapagliflozin, a Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 Inhibitor, on Vascular Functions in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Compared to Gliclazide

The investigators set up a clinical trial to compare effect of dapagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, with gliclazide on vascular function in patients with type 2 diabetes

Read the detailed description

Obesity, and especially visceral/abdominal adiposity, is associated with diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk. In previous randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, dapagliflozin reduced total body weight, predominantly by reducing fat mass, visceral adipose tissue and sc adipose tissue in type 2 diabetes. This study supported that caloric loss from glycosuria, and not fluid loss, was principally responsible for decrease in total body weight and fat mass. In fact, there have been several reports proving that inhibition of SGLT2 improves β-cell function and reduces body weight and blood pressure. However, effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on lipid profiles have not been decided yet in patients with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, there are few data to demonstrate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on CV risk.

Many systems and pathways are involved in development of atherosclerosis in the arterial wall. Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction plays an important role particularly in the first stage of atherogenesis in patients with diabetes. Approaches designed to improve endothelial function may therefore have additional therapeutic value in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease. Endothelial dysfunction is related to decreased production and bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). Endothelial function was measured through several circulating biomarker such as NO, endothelin-1 or non-invasive techniques such as flow-mediated dilation (FMD), skin laser doppler. Among them, FMD is known to as the optimal tool. In addition, several noninvasive techniques including measurement of the ankle-brachial index (ABI), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) have been used for evaluation of atherosclerosis.

If a participant's HbA1c dose not decreas by >0.4% at 12 weeks, rescue therapy can be added at the investigator's discretion.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DapagliflozinDrug

    Also called Forxiga

    Dapagliflozin 10 mg, orally once daily at any time of day with or without food. If HbA1c does not decrease by > 0.4% at 12 week, rescue therapy (sitagliptin 100 mg) can be added at investigator's discretion.

  • GliclazideDrug

    Also called Diamicron MR

    Gliclazide MR 30 mg, orally once daily at any time of day with or without food. If HbA1c does not decrease by > 0.4% at 12 week, rescue therapy (gliclazide MR 30 mg) can be added at investigator's discretion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vascular function assessed by Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD)

    The diameter of the target artery is measured by high-resolution external vascular ultrasound in response to an increase in blood flow (causing shear-stress) during reactive hyperaemia (induced by cuff inflation and then deflation). This leads to endothelium-dependent dilatation; the response is contrasted with that to sublingual nitroglycerin, an endothelium-independent dilator. The artery is scanned and the diameter measured during three conditions; at baseline, during reactive hyperaemia (induced by inflation and then deflation of a sphygmomanometer cuff around the limb, distal to the scanned part of the artery) and finally after administration of sublingual nitroglycerin (which causes endothelium-independent smooth muscle mediated vasodilatation).

    Measured: 24weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change of blood pressure

    Measured: 24weeks

  2. Lipid metabolism assessed by triglyceride, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol

    Measured: 24weeks

  3. Inflammatory markers assessed by hsCRP

    Measured: 24weeks

  4. Change of body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods

    Measured: 24weeks

  5. Glucose metabolism assessed by glycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose

    Measured: 24weeks

  6. Microcirculation assessed by laser doppler

    Measured: 24weeks

  7. Vascular health assessment by pulse wave velocity (PWV)

    PWV, by definition, is the distance traveled (Delta x) by the wave divided by the time (Delta t) for the wave to travel that distance

    Measured: 24weeks

  8. Vascular health assessment by Ankle-brachial index (ABI)

    The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm (brachium).

    Measured: 24weeks

  9. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) assessed by ultrasound

    Intima-media thickness (IMT), also called intimal medial thickness, is a measurement of the thickness of tunica intima and tunica media, the innermost two layers of the wall of an artery.

    Measured: 24weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dapagliflozin and Gliclazide in people with Diabetes, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 11 Sep 2018. 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 South Korea. 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Vascular function assessed by Flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) (time frame: 24weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Sep 2018.
