Trial summary

Empagliflozin (Jardiance)® is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2)-Inhibitor, which is a new treatment option developed for patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. The SGLT2 is expressed in the proximal tubule and reabsorbs approximately 90 percent of the filtered glucose. Read more about this study

About this study

Empagliflozin (Jardiance)® is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2)-Inhibitor, which is a new treatment option developed for patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. The SGLT2 is expressed in the proximal tubule and reabsorbs approximately 90 percent of the filtered glucose. The inhibition of SGLT2 results in renal excretion of glucose with subsequent osmotic diuresis. This mechanism could result in a therapeutic effect in patients with hypotonic hyponatremia as in the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion (SIAD). Because patients with SIAD usually have several comorbidities and different medications, studies investigating the physiological effects are difficult to interpret. Therefore a model to study the possible physiological effect of SGLT2-inhibitors in hypotonic hyponatremia as in SIAD is needed.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether empagliflozin (Jardiance)® has an effect on serum sodium levels of healthy volunteers with induced hypotonic hyponatremia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Induced hypotonic hyponatremia - SIAD model and Empagliflozin 25mg Tbl in people with Inappropriate ADH Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 15 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 10 Aug 2016. 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 Switzerland. 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?

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?

The primary outcome is the area under the curve (AUC) of the serum sodium concentration between time points 2 and 8 hours after administration of the study drug. (time frame: concentration measured every hour within 8 hours after drug administration on both study days). 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 10 Aug 2016.
