About this study

Official title: A Randomized Active-Control Double-Blinded Study to Evaluate the Treatment of Diabetes in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure

Investigator Initiated Study to study the effects of Canagliflozin 100 milligrams (mg) vs Sitagliptin 100 mg on parameters of aerobic exercise capacity (peak oxygen consumption [VO2]) and ventilator efficiency (minute ventilation [VE]/carbon dioxide production [VCO2] slope) at cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) after 12 weeks of active treatment (primary endpoints). Blood pressure (BP), body water content, body composition, cardiac function, and diet will be also measured (secondary endpoints).

Read the detailed description

Investigator Initiated Study: Randomized, double-blinded, active-control clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of Canagliflozin and Sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes and systolic heart failure (HF).

The investigators propose to study the effects of Canagliflozin 100 mg vs Sitagliptin 100 mg (both administered once daily for 12 weeks) on parameters of aerobic exercise capacity and ventilator efficiency by CPET after 12 weeks of active treatment. BP, body water content (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis [BIA]), body composition (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [DEXA]), cardiac function, diet and biomarkers will be also measured. Subjects with evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy will undergo cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Canagliflozin and Sitagliptin in people with Heart Failure, Systolic and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline Aerobic Exercise Capacity at 12 Weeks (time frame: baseline and 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Oct 2019.
