About this study

Official title: Subclinical Inflammation, Myocardial Function and Fatty Acid Metabolism in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure: Impact of a Short-term Treatment With Canagliflozin - a Pilot Study

It is a mechanistic proof-of-concept study to demonstrate how SGLT-2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin) may have a beneficial role on cardiac energetic efficiency.

Patients with type 2 diabetes and with HF diagnosed for at least 3 months will be selected. The participants will be randomized to a double-blind, crossover 2-week placebo vs. Cana 100 mg once daily, an interventional trial with a one-month washout period in between.

At the term of the two-week placebo and canagliflozin treatment periods (visits 2 and 4), each participant will undergo an identical postprandial metabolic study with positron emission tomography (PET) and stable isotopic tracer methods.

Read the detailed description

Non-invasive Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging method allows to measure myocardial uptake and organ-specific partitioning of dietary fatty acids (DFA). It allows to study kidney, liver, skeletal muscles and adipose tissues DFA utilization, whole body fatty acid turnover and oxidation rates, myocardial oxidative metabolism and left ventricular (LV) function that are other likely targets of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Thus, the PET is ideal to verify the very interesting hypothesis that, increase in liver fatty acid utilization and/or adipose tissue dietary fatty acid uptake, may lead to reduced cardiac utilization of fatty acids and improved cardiac energetic efficiency.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change to be observed with canagliflozin on myocardial dietary fatty acid uptake

    will be assessed using oral administration of 18-fluoro-thiaheptadecanoic acid ([18F]-FTHA) with sequential dynamic.

    PET/CT scanning.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Change to be observed with canagliflozin on whole-body partitioning.

    will be assessed using oral administration of 18-fluoro-thiaheptadecanoic acid ([18F]-FTHA, with static PET/CT scanning

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. myocardial and liver NEFA uptake

    using PET with [11C]-palmitate

    Measured: 3 months

  2. NEFA oxidative rate

    using PET with [11C]-acetate

    Measured: 3 months

  3. plasma NEFA turnover

    using i.v. infusion of [U-13C]-palmitate

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Canagliflozin 100mg and PET imaging in people with Type2 Diabetes and Heart Failure, run by Université de Sherbrooke.

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 6 inclusion and 17 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change to be observed with canagliflozin on myocardial dietary fatty acid uptake (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Dec 2024.
