Trial summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if SGLT2 inhibitors could prevent or delay the development of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) post-heart transplantation (TxC). The main questions it aims to answer are: Primary outcome: CAV, according to ISHLT grading system diagnosed by CCTA; Secondary outcomes… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Cardioprotection in Patients Undergoing Heart Transplantation

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if SGLT2 inhibitors could prevent or delay the development of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) post-heart transplantation (TxC). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Primary outcome: CAV, according to ISHLT grading system diagnosed by CCTA; Secondary outcomes: cardiovascular death, all-cause mortality, hospitalization, worsening glomerular filtration rate, fasting glucose, weight, and blood pressure.

Exploratory and safety outcomes: Rejection, hypoglycemia, urinary tract infection, hypovolemia, and limb amputation.

HYPOTHESIS The null hypothesis is that SGLT2 inhibitors do not reduce the incidence of CAV in transplanted patients.

The alternative hypothesis is that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the incidence of CAV in transplanted patients.METHODOLOGY Study Design A randomized clinical trial of superiority with active control (2 arms), with central randomization and blinded evaluation of outcomes, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding dapagliflozin or empagliflozin 10 mg once daily to conventional post-TxC treatment compared with the treatment of isolated conventional post-TxC for 6-8 months.

Study Sample Sample: All adult patients undergoing a heart transplant between January 2017 and December 2023 at Hospital de Messejana.

Inclusion Criteria Included: Patients of both sexes, aged ≥ 18 years, who have undergone heart transplantation between January 2017 and December 2023 and are under the care of the Heart Transplant and Heart Failure Unit at Hospital de Messejana.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SGLT2i in people with Transplant; Failure, Heart and Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy, run by Universidade Federal do Ceara at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (time frame: 6 to 8 months). 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 7 May 2024.
