Study summary

Recently, a series of large clinical trials have confirmed the cardio-renal protective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. but few patients with hereditary nephritis were included in these studies. This study is to evaluate the effects of dapagliflozin on slowing kidney disease progression in patients with Alport syndrome.

Study population

Patients with Alport syndrome who are at risk for kidney disease progression

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Histologic or genetic confirmation of Alport syndrome;
  • ≥ 30 ml/min/1.72m2;
  • Proteinuria > 0.5 g/24 h;
  • Use of an ACE inhibitor or ARB, dose stable for more than 4 weeks;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrence of other types of kidney disease;
  • type 1 or type 2 diabetes;
  • use of other types of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors within the month prior to enrollment, or prior allergy to such drugs;
  • ACEI combined with ARB, or direct renin inhibitors, aldosterone receptor antagonists;
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure greater than 160/90 mmHg during screening);
  • Patients undergoing renal transplantation or maintenance dialysis treatment;
  • Coexist with other serious and/or unstable diseases, such as serious cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, liver diseases or neuropsychiatric diseases;
  • Patients who are participating in clinical trials of other drugs;
  • Pregnant or lactating women, or patients who do not want to receive .
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.

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of eGFR

    The change of eGFR from baseline after 24 months of treatment

    Time frame: 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of proteinuria

    The change of proteinuria from baseline after 24 months of treatment

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Progression of kidney disease

    The incidence of doubling of serum creatinine, a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from baseline, or end-stage kidney disease after treatment

    Time frame: 24 months

Other outcomes

  1. Change of eGFR in different subgroups

    The change of eGFR from baseline in patients with different phenotype -genotype after treatment

    Time frame: 24 months

  2. Change of proteinuria in different subgroups

    The change of proteinuria from baseline in patients with different phenotype -genotype after treatment

    Time frame: 24 months
