Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To test the hypothesis that a single empagliflozin (25 mg) oral administration in subjects with ESRD (end-stage renal disease) will stimulate EGP (Endogenous Glucose Production) and increase plasma glucagon concentration as compared to placebo;Secondary Objective: To test the hypothesis that a single empagliflozin (25 mg) oral administration in subjects with ESRD (end-stage renal disease) will modulate plasma glucose, insulin, c-peptide, FFA, GH, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol and blood pressure as compared to placebo;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the mean difference in EGP and plasma glucagon concentration during the last hour of EGP measurement between empagliflozin versus placebo administration in patients with end-stage renal disease;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This timepoint will be achieved in a three-year study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints are the mean difference in plasma glucose, insulin, c-peptide, FFA, GH, epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol and blood pressure during the last hour of the experiment between empagliflozin versus placebo administration in patients with end-stage renal disease;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This timepoint will be achieved in a three-year study
