The renal effects of the new glucose lowering drug dapagliflozin with another glucose lowering drug gliclazide in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

A phase 4, monocenter, randomized, double-blind, comparator-controlled, parallel-group, mechanistic intervention trial to assess the effect of 12-week treatment with the sodium-glucose linked transporters (SGLT)-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin versus the sulfonylurea (SU) derivative gliclazide on renal physiology and biomarkers in metformin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) - RED: Renoprotective Effects of Dapagliflozin in Type 2 Diabetes

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria • Caucasian* • Both genders (females must be post-menopausal; no menses >1 year; in case of doubt, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) will be determined with cut-off defined as >31 U/L) • Age: 35 - 75 years • BMI: >25 kg/m2 • HbA1c: 6.5 – 9.0% Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) or 48 - 86 mmol/mol International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) • Treatment with a stable dose of oral antihyperglycemic agents for at least 3 months prior to inclusion • Metformin monotherapy • Combination of metformin and low dose SU derivative** • Hypertension should be controlled, i.e. =140/90 mmHg, and treated with an ACE-I or ARB (unless prevented by side effect) for at least 3 months. • Albuminuria should be treated with a RAAS-interfering agent (ACE-I or ARB) for at least 3 months. • Written informed consent * In order to increase homogeneity ** In order to accelerate inclusion, patients using combined metformin/SU derivative will be considered. In these patients, a 12 week wash-out period of the SU derivative will be observed, only when combined use has led to a HbA1c =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 14

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the effects of 12-week treatment with the SGLT-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (10 mg QD) versus the SU gliclazide (30 mg QD) on renal hemodynamics in metformin-treated T2DM patients;Secondary Objective: To investigate the effects of 12-week treatment with the SGLT-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin (10 mg QD) versus the SU gliclazide (30 mg QD) on: Secondary objectives: -Renal Tubular Function -Renal damage -Blood Pressure and heart rate -Body anthropometrics and Body fat content -Glycemic variables, Lipid spectrum, Inflammation, Biochemistry and Hematology -Microvascular function -Arterial stiffness (PWA) -Systemic hemodynamics -CANS function Exploratory objectives: -Biomarkers and gut microbiome -DNA -Insulin sensitivity -Beta-cell function ;Primary end point(s): • GFR (measured by the inulin-clearance technique) • Effective renal plasma flow (ERPF; measured by the para-aminohippurate acid (PAH) clearance technique);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment;Secondary end point(s): • Renal tubular function, measured as: -24-h urine sodium-, potassium-, chloride-, calcium-, magnesium-, phosphate-, urea and glucose • Renal damage, measured by urine biomarkers as: -UAE (Glomerular) -Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) (Tubular) • Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) (measured by oscillometric blood pressure device) • Heart rate (measured by oscillometric blood pressure device) • Body anthropometrics: waist circumference, height, body weight and body mass index (BMI) (using the formula: weight (in kg) / height2 (in m)), measured by a tape measure and calibrated weighing scale respectively • Body fat content, measured by bio-impedance analysis (BIA) • Marker of inflammation: high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) • Glycemic variables: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) • Lipid spectrum (triglycerides (TG), total-cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and free fatty acids (FFA)) • Microvascular function, measured by capillary videomicroscopy and Laser Doppler techniques • Arterial stiffness (Pulse Wave Analysis), measured by applanation tonometry • Systemic hemodynamic variables (SBP, DBP, MAP, heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO)/-index (CI), and total systemic vascular resistance (TPR)) derived from non-invasive beat-to-beat finger blood pressure measurements • Cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) function, as derived from electrocardiographic (ECG) and non-invasive beat-to-beat finger blood pressure measurements (NexFin®) measured as: -Heart rate variability (HRV); Cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs) Exploratory end points: • Complementary markers of renal function/damage (plasma cystatin C, fibro
