About this study

The mechanistic effects of empagliflozin on platelet function profiles have not yet been ascertained.

Read the detailed description

Sodium GLucose Transport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I), including empagliflozin, reduce the likelihood of hospitalization for heart failure and death in persons with type 2 diabetes, of which the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. The mechanistic effects of empagliflozin on platelet function profiles have not yet been ascertained. It remains unclear if this reduction in cardiovascular death is mediated by decreased platelet reactivity.

Being tested
SGLT2 inhibitor

What is being measured

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

  1. P2Y12 Reaction Units

    P2Y12 Reaction Units post-Empagliflozin. Citrated blood samples are processed by CRAs and study investigators. The platelet function assay to be utilized is the VerifyNow P2Y12 (VN-P2Y12) assay (Accriva, San Diego, California). In brief, the VN-P2Y12 assay is a rapid whole blood point-of-care device that reports results as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) and percent inhibition of platelet aggregation (%IPA). Assays will be performed as per the instructions of the manufacturer previously described.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing SGLT2 inhibitor in people with Platelet Dysfunction Due to Drugs, run by The University of The West Indies at 1 site in Trinidad and Tobago.

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 2 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 3 Sep 2024. 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 Trinidad and Tobago. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Sep 2024). 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?

P2Y12 Reaction Units (time frame: 14 days). 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 NCT04342819, 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 3 Sep 2024.
