About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double - Blind, Placebo - Controlled Trial to Investigate the Effect of Dapagliflozin on Ischemia Reperfusion Induced Endothelial Dysfunction of the Forearm Vasculature in Healthy Male Subjects

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dapagliflozin or placebo on acetylcholine (Ach)- or nitroglycerin (GTN)-induced vasodilation of the forearm resistance vasculature, as determined by FBF measurement before and 10 minutes after 20 minutes of forearm ischemia.

Read the detailed description

The aim is to test the effect of dapagliflozin or placebo on ACh-induced vasodilatation of the forearm resistance vasculature as assessed by FBF measurement before and 10 min after a 20 min forearm ischemia as well as after a 14 day treatment period. The area under the dose-effect curve (AUC) of different ACh doses will be calculated and compared between treatment groups (dapagliflozin vs. placebo) and different time points (pre-ischemia vs. post-ischemia). FBF measurements will be made in response to increasing intra-arterial doses of ACh (25, 50, 100 nmol/min) to assess endothelial function or GTN (4, 8, 16 nmol/min) to test vascular smooth muscle vasodilator function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acetylcholine - Area under the curve forearm blood flow measurement

    effect of dapagliflozin after a two weeks period of regular intake on forearm blood flow (FBF) reactivity in response to the vasodilators acetylcholine (ACh; endothelium-dependent agonist) or nitroglycerin (GTN; endothelium-independent vasodilator)

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Acetylcholine - Area under the curve forearm blood flow measurement

    acute effect of dapagliflozin on forearm blood flow (FBF) reactivity in response to the vasodilators acetylcholine (ACh; endothelium-dependent agonist) or nitroglycerin (GTN; endothelium-independent vasodilator) 10 min before (baseline) and after 20 min forearm ischemia, respectively.

    Measured: 30 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dapagliflozin 10mg in people with Reperfusion Injury and Vascular Complications, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 15 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 16 Feb 2022. 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 Austria. 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Martin Lutnik, M.D. (+43 1 40400 ext. 29810, martin.lutnik@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acetylcholine - Area under the curve forearm blood flow measurement (time frame: 14 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05217654, which also lists 18 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 16 Feb 2022.
