About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, 2-treatment Multiple Dose Study to Assess the Intestinal, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Effects of an 8 Weeks Treatment With Sotagliflozin QD as Compared With Empagliflozin Once a Day (QD) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Patients With Mild to Moderate Hypertension

Primary Objective:

To compare the metabolic and gastrointestinal pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of an 8 weeks treatment with sotagliflozin once daily (QD) to an 8 weeks treatment to empagliflozin QD in mild or moderate hypertensive T2DM patients on a stable treatment regimen with metformin and an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) under standardized diet conditions.

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an 8 weeks QD treatment with sotagliflozin or empagliflozin in mild to moderate hypertensive T2DM patients on a stable treatment with metformin and an ACE inhibitor or ARB.
  • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of sotagliflozin in steady state conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sotagliflozin (SAR439954) and Empagliflozin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 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 25 Apr 2022. 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 Germany. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Assessment of pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters in feces (time frame: Baseline and on Day 55 and 56 (over 48 hours)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03462069, 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 25 Apr 2022.
