About this study

The investigators propose to treat newly diagnosed, hyperfiltering T2DM patients with or without microalbuminuria with dapagliflozin or metformin for 4 months. The metformin-treated group will serve as controls for improved glycemic control, since the investigators have shown that insulin therapy to normalize A1c reduces hyperfiltration and kidney size in T1DM patients.

Read the detailed description

Hyperfiltration is a characteristic feature in experimental models of diabetes and is causally related to an increase in intraglomerular pressure. In newly diagnosed diabetic patients, both type 1 and type 2, hyperfiltration and enlarged kidney size commonly are observed, and these hemodynamic/anatomic abnormalities are associated with an increased risk for the development of diabetic nephropathy.

In poorly controlled diabetic individuals, the filtered load of glucose is markedly increased and glucose - with sodium - reabsorption by the SGLT2 transporter in the proximal tubule is augmented. As a consequence sodium delivery to the macula densa is reduced, making the kidney think that it is under perfused and this results in afferent renal arteriolar vasodilation. The efferent arteriole of the hyperfiltrating diabetic kidney also is hypersensitive to angiotensin II despite the absence of systemic RAS activation. The net result of these hemodynamic changes is an increase in intraglomerular pressure and hyperfiltration. Further, angiotensin is a potent growth factor and contributes to the increase in size of individual glomeruli and total kidney size. Since the intraglomerular pressure is related to the radius (r3) by the Law of LaPlace, the increase in glomerular size also contributes to hyperfiltration.

Based upon the preceding sequence, it follows that a drug that blocks glucose, along with sodium, reabsorption in the proximal tubule would enhance sodium delivery to the macula densa, cause afferent renal arteriolar constriction, reduce intraglomerular pressure/hyperfiltration, and decrease kidney size. In hyperfiltering diabetic patients with microalbuminuria, the investigators also would expect the microalbuminuria to decrease. Consistent with this scenario, animal studies have documented that both acute and chronic inhibition of SGLT2 decreases hyperfiltration and prevents diabetic nephropathy. A recent study in hyperfiltering type 1 diabetic patients treated with empagliflozin has provided additional support for the tubular glomerular feedback hypothesis.

The investigators propose to treat newly diagnosed, hyperfiltering T2DM patients with or without microalbuminuria with dapagliflozin or metformin for 4 months. The metformin-treated group will serve as controls for improved glycemic control, since the investigators have shown that insulin therapy to normalize A1c reduces hyperfiltration and kidney size in T1DM patients

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 Nov 2023). 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?

GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) Change After Treatment (time frame: 4 months). 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 NCT02911792, which also lists 20 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 30 Nov 2023.
