Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to exploring the changes in 24-hour urinary protein and renal function in obese patients with kidney disease after the application of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA).

Eligible patients were randomly and non-blindly allocated to four groups in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.The first group is the optimized treatment group, and patients in this group maintain the maximum dose/maximum tolerated dose of RAS blocker therapy.

The second group is the optimized treatment + SGLT2i group. Participants in this group are titrated to the target dose (10 mg qd) in combination with dapagliflozin on the basis of optimized treatment.

The third group is the optimized treatment + GLP-1RA group. Participants in this group will be titrated to the target dose (1mg qw) in combination with semaglutide on the basis of optimized treatment.

The last group is the optimized treatment + SGLT2i + GLP-1RA treatment group, that is, based on the optimized treatment, combined with dapagliflozin titrated to the target dose (10 mg qd) and semaglutide titrated to the target dose (1 mg qw).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of 24-hour urine protein quantification

    According to KDIGO 2021 glomerular disease management guidelines. ① Remission: proteinuria is reduced, and serum albumin is \>30g/L. Renal function is stable. Complete remission (CR): proteinuria is significantly reduced, 24HUTP\<0.3g/L, and serum albumin\>30g/L. Renal function is stable. Partial response (PR): proteinuria decreases, 24HUTP decreases \>50% from baseline and \>0.3g/L. Serum albumin\>30g/L. Renal function is stable. ② Invalid: proteinuria is not reduced compared with baseline, and serum albumin is \<30g/L. Renal function is stable or declining. ③Relapse: After achieving CR or PR, proteinuria increases (24-hour urine protein quantification ≥3.5g/d) and serum albumin decreases, \<30g/L. Renal function is stable or declining.

    Time frame: 4、12、24、36、48 WEEK

Secondary outcomes

  1. Decline in glomerular filtration rate

    Time frame: 4、12、24、36、48 WEEK

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2025, 24 months after the start.

Of 2,253 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 50. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,351 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 48.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Apr 3, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
