Study summary

Current prevention strategies in patients with recurrence of kidney stones show especially in high-risk patients a diversely and in the long-term not successful outcome in a sustainable number of cases. Recent studies have revealed that Dapagliflozin has the potential to decrease risk and incidence of urolithiasis events especially in patients suffering from Diabetes. The investigators propose that Dapagliflozin has the potential to increase the metabolic situation of hyperoxaluric patients with recurrence of urolithiasis. The investigators therefore test whether Dapagliflozin can decrease the oxalate excretion compared to the current strategy with Hydrochlorothiazide. The study may open up a new way of preventing urolithiasis in patients with high-risk of recurring urolithiasis.

Urolithiasis

253 studies on the registry are indexed under Urolithiasis; 67 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 32 is below the median of 100 across 182 interventional studies indexed under Urolithiasis.

Inclusion criteria

  • Calcium-oxalate stone formers with high risk of reoccurrence defined as:
  • At least two symptomatic or surgically treated kidney stones within the last 10 years and/or
  • Single stone kidney formers with risk factors including: a.) Positive medical family history on kidney stone formations of at least one blood related relative in the first degree or at least two blood related relatives in the second degree and/ or b.) Onset of kidney stone formations within the third life decade or earlier and/ or c.) Metabolic syndrome d.) Obesity ( ≥ 30 kg/m²)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age \< 18 years
  • Malabsorption disorder
  • \< 30 ml/min/1,73 m2
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Study arms

  • Other
    Washout Phase and treatment arms

    At first there will be wash-out phase I with daily placebo administration for all participants. All patients will receive blood- and 24h-urine screenings in week 0 and 6 to get baseline data and also a low-dose native CT of the urinary tract in week 6. In preparation of the HCT phase all participants will daily receive an oral placebo. In week 7 the HCT phase will start and all patients will receive an oral therapy with 50mg of HCT daily; the treatment response will be evaluated by blood- and urine test after 4 weeks of therapy (week 10). After that, in washout phase II, the same test as before will be performed in week 0 and 6 (weeks 15 and 20). At the end another therapy phase with an oral administration of 10mg dapagliflozin daily will be performed; the treatment response will be evaluated by blood- and urine test after 4 weeks of therapy (week 25). Finally, the same tests as before will be performed in wash-out phase III in week 0 and 6 (weeks 29 and 34).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Δ of urinary oxalate excretion

    As the primary endpoint the investigators defined the change of the urine oxalate excretion assessed by 24 h hour urine by 25% after 8 weeks of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy compared to the baseline value that was collected in the washout phase before the treatment period. (Δ week0 and week 8 in mmol/L)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Δ of urinary calcium excretion

    Reduction of the urine calcium excretion assessed by 24 h hour urine by 25% after 8 weeks of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy compared to the baseline value that was collected in the washout phase before the treatment period. (Δ week0 and week 8 in mmol/L)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. Change of serum kreatinine

    Change of serum kreatinine (in mg/dL) assessed by blood collection after 8 weeks of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy compared to the baseline value that was collected in the washout phase before the treatment period.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  3. Frequency of urolithiasis

    Frequency of sympothomatic or treatment worthy urolithiasis events within the 12 month lasting afterward study period. (in events/ person/ year)

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Tolerability of SGLT-2inhibitor therapy

    Tolerability of the SGLT-2 inhibitors within 8 weeks lasting therapy phase assessed by a physician in \[Type of adverse event; Start (date and time); End (date and time); Severity (mild, moderate, severe); Serious (no / yes); Unexpected (no / yes); Outcome (resolved, resolving, not resolved, resolved with sequelae, unknown, fatal); Relation to study drug (Related/ Probably/ Possibly/ Unlikely/ Not related/ Not assessable)\].

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  5. Change of eGFR

    Change of eGFR (in ml/min/1,73 m2) that was calculated from serum kreatinine that was assessed by blood collection after 8 weeks of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy compared to the baseline value that was collected in the washout phase before the treatment period.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 23, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
