Ambrisentan Sotagliflozin and Prevention of Renal Injury; a Randomized Evaluation
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus With Diabetic Nephropathy
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT06072326
- Lead Sponsor
- University Medical Center Groningen
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that sotagliflozin (SGLT1/2 inhibitor) and ambrisentan (ERA) combination therapy augments nephroprotection and mitigates fluid retention and ketogenesis in people with T1D through complementary and synergistic mechanisms of actions.
- Detailed Description
A phase 2, multicenter, randomized, open-label, cross-over trial will be conducted in male or female individuals (N=36) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at least 6 months prior to informed consent aged between 18 and 65 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 21 kg/m2, urinary albumin:creatinine ratio ≥ 50 mg/g and \< 3000 mg/g, eGFR \> 30 and \<90 ml/min/1.73m2 and HbA1c between 6.5 and 10.0%. Patients have to be on stable RAAS inhibition for at least 4 weeks prior to screening.
The study will consist of a screening visit, a 4-week run-in phase. After the run-in phase, the participant will be randomized to treatment of ambrisentan, sotagliflozin or their combination in random order. The duration of each treatment period is 4 weeks with study visits scheduled at 2 and 4 weeks in each treatment period. At the end of each treatment period patients proceed to a 4 weeks wash-out phase to study off drug effects. The total duration of the study for each participant after randomization is thus 24 weeks
Interventions Ambrisentan 2.5 mg once daily; sotagliflozin 200mg once daily; combination of ambrisentan 2.5mg once daily and sotagliflozin 200mg once daily

Based on the Investigator's judgment participant must have a good understanding of his/her disease and how to manage it, and be willing and capable of performing the following study assessments (assessed before randomization):

- reliable approach to insulin dose adjustment for meals, such as carbohydrate counting
- reliable and regular home-based blood glucose monitoring
- established "sick day" management regimen
- Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes
- Treatment with an antihyperglycaemic agent (e.g., metformin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, pramlintide, glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist, etc.) within 3 months
- Occurrence of severe hypoglycaemia involving coma/unconsciousness and/or seizure that required hospitalisation or hypoglycaemia-related treatment by an emergency physician or paramedic within 3 months
- Hypoglycaemia unawareness based on Investigator judgement or frequent episodes of unexplained hypoglycaemia (2 or more unexplained episodes within 3 months)
- Occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis within 6 months prior to study enrolment
- Acute coronary syndrome (non-STEMI, STEMI and unstable angina pectoris), stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months
- Any other clinical condition that, based on Investigator's judgement, would jeopardize patient safety during trial participation or would affect the study outcome (e.g., immunocompromised patients, patients who might be at higher risk of developing urinary, genital or mycotic infections, patients with chronic viral infections, etc.)
