EU CTIS ID: 2024-514887-14-00

What this study is testing

To demonstrate that 12-week treatment with dapagliflozin improves endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation of peripheral conduit arteries during short-term increase in blood flow in chronic kidney disease patients

  • Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Chronic kidney disease (eGFR ≥ 25 and ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73m² by CKD-EPI)
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Receiving a stable dose of an ACE inhibitor or ARB for at least 12 weeks before screening or patients who were documented to be unable to take angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).
  • Patient having read and understood the information letter and signed the Informed Consent Form
  • For women: a. Women of childbearing potential : i. Effective contraception according to CTFG contraception recommendations (V1.1 21/09/2020) since at least 4 weeks before randomization and during treatment, and; ii. Negative blood pregnancy test; b. Women surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus); c. Postmenopausal women (non-medically induced amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to the inclusion visit). Abstinence is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide.
  • Patient able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment

You likely can't join if

  • Type 1 and type 2 diabetes (fasting glycemia ≥ 126 mg/dL or use of oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin)
  • Body weight > 35 kg/m²
  • Receiving therapy with a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor within 8 weeks prior to enrolment or previous intolerance of an SGLT2 inhibitor
  • Receiving phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil or other) or riociguat (due to the risk of hypotension potentiation with GTN spray).
  • Patients with NYHA class IV congestive heart failure at the time of enrolment
  • Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 12 weeks prior to enrolment
