Chronic Kidney Disease Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Hypertension | Drug: Dapagliflozin 10mg Tab Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
In the run-in phase, clinical parameters will be optimized by the use of metformin/repaglinide and or RAAS-I on the basis of the presence/absence of a diagnosis of diabetes. Subsequently, patients will be randomly assigned to start with standard therapy and placebo or dapagliflozin at the dose of 10 mg and will continue the assigned treatment for 24 weeks in double-blind and with dapagliflozin at the dose of 10 mg for an additional 48 weeks in open-label/Extended treatment.
Urine samples will be collected at T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4 and used as a source of PTECs in order to study the expression of mediators of senescence, fibrosis and inflammation in the kidney. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, Bio-impedancemetry will be evaluated at T0, and T2 and the assessment of tubular oxygen consumption by MRI with BOLD method will be performed at baseline (T0) and after 12 weeks of treatment (T1). This timeline seems to be more appropriate for investigating chances in functional parameters such as blood pressure behaviour, distribution of body water and tubular oxigen consumption.
Based on health claims data published in scientific journals, the treatment extension with Dapaglifozin will be proposed to patients of both arms of the Study at the end of 24 Weeks of treatment (T2) for additional 48 Weeks (T3, T4).
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 34 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Allocation to treatment group will be done by stratified randomization for diabetics and non-diabetics. The randomization list will be generated with a designed computer program. |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Investigator) |
Masking Description: | Once eligibility is verified, the Investigator will randomize the subject contacting by e-mail the Secretarial Office of the Nephrologic Clinic of the Ospedale Policlinico San Martino The assigned randomization number will communicated via e-mail and recorded by the Investigator in the CRF. Therefore both investigators and participants will be blind |
Primary Purpose: | Prevention |
Official Title: | Single-center, Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effects of a Six-month Treatment With Renal Glucose Transport Inhibitor (SGLT2i) Drugs on Markers of Senescence, Inflammation and Tubulointerstitial Damage in the Kidney of Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease With or Without Type 2 Diabetes |
Actual Study Start Date : | April 13, 2021 |
