- NCT05570305
- Lead Sponsor
- University Medical Center Groningen
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the effects on albuminuria of combination treatment with the endothelin receptor antagonist zibotentan and SGLT2i dapagliflozin are complimentary and additive while the fluid retaining effects of zibotentan can be mitigated by dapagliflozin.
- Detailed Description
A double-blind randomized placebo controlled cross-over study will be conducted in male and female subjects with type 2 diabetes aged between 18 and 75 years, urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) levels between 100 and 3500 mg/g, and an eGFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m2 will be enrolled. Patients with type 1 diabetes or non-diabetic kidney disease will be excluded.
The study will consist of a screening visit, a 4-week (up to a maximum of 16-weeks) run-in phase for those subjects not on stable ACEi/ARB treatment. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment orders. Each treatment order consists of three treatment periods, separed separated by 4-week wash-out period. Treatment period 1 and 2 take four weeks. The third treatment period last 6 weeks.
Participants will be randomized to treatments in addition to receiving background local standard of care (SoC) therapy as follows:
1. Zibotentan 1.5 mg once daily + Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
2. Zibotentan 1.5 mg once daily.
3. Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily.
4. Placebo once daily.

Group Intervention Description Treatment order 1 Placebo Subjects will start with 4 weeks of placebo in treatment period one, then 4 weeks of zibotentan during treatment period two. The order of the first two treatment periods is random which means that patients can start with either placebo or zibotentan. Then in treatment period three, patients are randomized to either either placebo or dapagliflozin for 2 weeks followed immediately by 4 weeks of both zibotentan and dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out. Treatment order 2 Placebo Subjects will start with 4 weeks of dapagliflozine in treatment period one, then 4 weeks of zibotentan during treatment period two. The order of the first two treatment periods is random which means that patients can start with either dapagliflozine or zibotentan. Then in treatment period three, patients are randomized to either either placebo or dapagliflozin for 2 weeks followed immediately by 4 weeks of both zibotentan and dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in albuminuria after 4 weeks combined zibotentan and dapagliflozin treatment versus four weeks treatment with zibotentan alone. The albuminuria will be measured before start of medication intake and after the last intake of medication for each treatment period. This concerns a 4 week time frame. The change in albuminuria as expressed the percentage change of the log-transformed albumin:creatinine ratio in mg/gram. The log-transformation is because of the skewed distribution.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Extracellular Fluid 4 weeks Extracellular Fluid measured by bioimpedance spectroscopy
Change in bodyweight 4 weeks Change in kilograms
Change in NT-proBNP 4 weeks N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
Change in BNP 4 weeks B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Change in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) 4 weeks Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) using iohexol clearance techniques.
Change in Extracellular volume (ECV) 4 weeks Extracellular volume (ECV) using iohexol clearance techniques.
Change in hematocrit 4 weeks The percentage of red blood cells in blood
Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure 4 weeks Change in blood pressure as measure in mmHg
