About this study

Left heart catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become a useful tool in interventional cardiology, in which iodinated contrast media is used. Although the use of iodinated contrast media (CM) is considered to be safe in patients with normal renal function, it is risky in patients with known chronic renal insufficiency (CKD) and diabetes mellitus. Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) remains one of the most leading causes of in hospital acute kidney injury (AKI), affecting morbidity and mortality. There are various mechanisms through which CM develop their nephrotoxic effects, including renal vasoconstriction and medullary hypoxia, tubular cell toxicity and reactive oxygen species formation.

Inhibitors of type 2 sodium- glucose co-transporter (SGLT2i) is a relatively recent addition to the array of anti-diabetic agents, becoming part of everyday clinical practice. However, although SGLT2i were first used solely as antidiabetics because of their glycosuric effect, further research demonstrated that these drugs may independently reduce cardiovascular events, especially in patients with heart failure, a benefit that was consistent among diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Moreover, pleiotropic effects have been observed, including a reno-protective action. In addition to the effects mediated by intrarenal hemodynamic changes, SGLT2-i also have direct anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic nephroprotective effects. Indeed, SGLT2-i suppress the production of reactive oxygen species, lessening glomerulosclerosis and tubulo-interstitial fibrosis.

These findings suggest that the use of SGLT2i could offer benefit by reducing/ preventing the nephrotoxic effects of contrast media leading to the assumption that the use of these drugs could prevent the incidence nephropathy after cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) between the two study arms

    AKI is defined defined as an absolute creatinine level increase of at least 0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 μmol/L) or at least 1.5-fold from baseline.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Development of at least Stage 2 AKI (according to the KDIGO criteria), i.e. Increase in sCR>2.0-fold from baseline.

    Measured: 1 month

A Early Phase 1 study testing Dapagliflozin 5mg in people with Left Cardiac Catheterization and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by G.Gennimatas General Hospital at 2 sites in Greece.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 19 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Greece. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Contact Spyridon Deftereos, Prof. (spdeftereos@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) between the two study arms (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04806633, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 19 Mar 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
