About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Determine the Effect of Dapagliflozin 10mg Once Daily on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Haemodialysis for Patients With End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

This study aims to study SGLT2 inhibitors in patients who are undergoing haemodialysis for end stage renal disease and established ASCVD, to examine the safety and clinical outcomes, consisting of a composite of non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular death as the primary outcome. The key secondary composite outcome was all cause death or hospitalization for unstable angina.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease accounts for more than 50% of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) deaths. The reported cardiovascular death rates in patients receiving dialysis are substantially higher than in the general population. Cardiovascular mortality in ESRD is particularly high after acute myocardial infarction, but it is also elevated in ESRD patients with other forms of atherosclerotic vascular disease (eg, chronic coronary artery disease, strokes, transient ischemic attacks, and peripheral arterial disease). Left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, as is congestive heart failure. One of the major reasons for such high cardiovascular mortality in ESRD is the large burden of cardiovascular disease present in patients with chronic artery disease before renal replacement therapy.

SGLT2 inhibitors have demonstrated benefits in reduction of major adverse cardiac events and heart failure hospitalisation in phase 3 randomised controlled trials. In addition, several recent clinical publications have also indicated renal benefits in patients with chronic renal impairment (eGFR >30ml/min).

The primary SGLT2 inhibition predominantly occurs at the proximal tubules of kidneys. The mechanistic benefits postulated (other than serum glucose lowering) included SGL2i mediated naturesis and glucosuria. Independent of this class's effects at the renal level, SGL2i possibly affect cardiac metabolism (in animal studies), with reverse adverse cardiac remodelling by switching myocardial substrate utilization from glucose toward oxidation of fatty acids, ketone bodies and branch-chained amino acids. Such improvement in cardiac metabolism may attenuate myocardial ischemia, improve cardiac haemodynamics and reduce overall cardiac mortality, either independent of or synergistic with SGLT2 inhibition at the kidney level.

Currently, there is a gap in knowledge and paucity of safety, efficacy and clinical outcomes data for the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients who are undergoing haemodialysis for end stage renal disease and established ASCVD.

This study aims to study SGLT2 inhibitors in this population and examine the safety and clinical outcomes, consisting of a composite of non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular death as the primary outcome. The key secondary composite outcome was all cause death or hospitalization for unstable angina.

What is being measured

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

  1. Subjects included in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke (time to first or recurrent event).

    Data will be derived from 3 monthly telephone follow-up and 6monthly physical site visits and events are documented in eCRF

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subjects included in the composite endpoint of all-cause death or hospitalization for unstable angina (time to first or recurrent event).

    Data will be derived from 3 monthly telephone follow-up and 6monthly physical site visits and events are documented in eCRF

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Cardiovascular Diseases and End Stage Renal Disease, run by Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 21 Oct 2021. 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.

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?

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?

Subjects included in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke (time to first or recurrent event). (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 21 Oct 2021.
