About this study

Official title: The Effects of SGLT Inhibition on Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is considered as a cardiac muscle disorder secondary to diabetes mellitus (DM). Certain studies show the clinical benefit of SGLT-s inhibitors on reducing cardiovascular outcomes amongst patients with type II DM that go beyond the correction of hyperglycemic perse. Thus an observational imaging study is proposed to identify mechanistic insights of the drug group over cardiovascular events.

Read the detailed description

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is defined as ventricular dysfunction in diabetic patients in the absence of coronary artery disease and hypertension. It is considered as a cardiac muscle disorder due to the metabolic consequences of DM characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (in the early stage), and/or systolic dysfunction. To date, there is no specific treatment proven effective for the condition due to the incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis.

Recent studies however prove the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on reducing the primary composite end point of cardiovascular outcomes including hospitalization for heart failure, cardiovascular death, and all-cause death amongst patients with type II DM. Such clinical benefit is apparently mainly stemmed from the reduction in heart failure related mortality and sudden cardiac death rather than the macro-vascular events such as myocardial infarct and stroke, suggesting addition benefits going beyond the correction of hyperglycemia perse. These studies thus raise the possibility that the drug may have direct effects on the myocardium that conferring the clinical benefit not related the modification of traditional risk factors such as glycemic control, lipid, blood pressure, and obesity.

A single-arm, observational cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study is proposed in type II diabetic patients before and 2 months after initiation of dapagliflozin. The aim is to identify mechanistic insights leading to the unexpected clinical benefit of SGLT inhibition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Type2 Diabetes and Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2021. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 in myocardial perfusion reserve index (time frame: 8-12 weeks). 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 3 Aug 2021.
