About this study

Official title: SGLT2 Inhibition in Diabetic Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

To determine the effects of SGLT2 inhibition with empagliflozin on cardio-respiratory fitness in patients with systolic heart failure.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that Sodium-GLucose coTransporters (SGLT)-2 inhibition will improve cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with systolic heart failure.

Participants treated with SGLT2 inhibitor Empagliflozin as standard of care will undergo assessments described below.

The investigators will measure CRF with a validated cardiopulmonary exercise test at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment received as standard of care, to determine whether SGLT2 inhibition improves cardio-respiratory fitness assessed by changes in peak oxygen consumption (VO2)(mL/kg/min) and minute ventilation (VE)/carbon dioxide production (VCO2) slope, powerful independent clinical predictors of mortality in HF.

What is being measured

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

  1. SGLT2 inhibition effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

    To measure the effects of Empagliflozin on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction or systolic heart failure. The effects on CRF are determined by measuring changes in peak VO2 (mL/kg/min) and the VE/VCO2 slope.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Heart Failure, Systolic, run by Virginia Commonwealth University 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 4 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 16 Jul 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 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

SGLT2 inhibition effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). (time frame: 4 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 NCT02862067, 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 16 Jul 2018.
