The DAPA-MEMRI Trial (DAPA-MEMRI)
An Observational Cross-sectional Study and a Double-blind Placebo Controlled Randomised Controlled Trial to Assess the Effect of Dapagliflozin on Myocardial Calcium-handling in Patients With Heart Failure- The DAPA-MEMRI Trial.
Diabetes mellitus is among the top 10 causes of death worldwide with an increasing incidence. Patients with diabetes are at risk of developing heart failure which is characterised by significant changes in the heart muscle including scarring and thickening. Contraction of the heart involves movement of calcium across the heart muscle and disruption of this process is an early change seen in heart failure. Recently, a drug therapy (SGLT2 inhibitor therapy) in patients with diabetes was shown to benefit patients with heart failure but the mechanisms of benefit are unknown.
Our hypothesis is that calcium handling is altered in patients with either type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or heart failure and that SGLT2 inhibitors can improve this in heart failure irrespective of the presence of T2DM.
Scanning the heart using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables detailed assessment of its structure and function by using a new contrast 'dye' containing manganese that has shown advantages over traditional contrast. We plan to further test this new dye as it has the potential to track and quantify improvements in heart function over time and detect changes in calcium handling in the heart muscle, making it an ideal measure to identify the mechanisms of benefit from SGLT2 inhibitor therapy.
The study population will comprise patients with heart failure with and without type 2 diabetes, patients with type 2 diabetes without heart failure and healthy volunteers. Baseline comparisons will be made between the four groups before progressing to the randomised controlled trial with heart failure patients only. Patients will have a clinical assessment and blood tests, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and MRI of the heart at each visit.
If successful, this study will give us significant insights into mechanisms of action of SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure and will enable us to tailor specific treatments in heart failure patients.

Detailed Description
The study is designed to investigate the myocardial calcium handling in patients with heart failure with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus and if Dapagliflozin (study drug) improves the myocardial calcium handling in patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus.
We propose to conduct this study in two parts.
OBSERVATIONAL CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
An observational cross-sectional study will be undertaken to compare myocardial calcium in patients with diabetes mellitus and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (n=20), patients with heart failure in the absence of diabetes mellitus (n=60), and patients with both diabetes mellitus and heart failure (n=60). They will be compared with healthy volunteers (n=20).
There will be an initial meeting, where informed consent will be documented and a medical assessment including blood tests will be undertaken as well as an echocardiogram will be performed. Healthy volunteers will only undergo Manganese enhanced cardiac MRI scan. The other cohorts will undergo a gadolinium enhanced cardiac MRI scan on their first visit. On a subsequent visit, they will undergo 1 cardiac Manganese enhanced Manganese MRI scan (MEMRI) which lasts 45-60 minutes. Participants will be monitored with blood pressure and ECG monitoring throughout the MEMRI scan. Patients will be offered an anti-sickness medication if required following the MEMRI scan.
- RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL
We will undertake a randomised double-blind placebo controlled trial of patients with heart failure with (n=60) and without (n=60) type 2 diabetes mellitus. These participants would have been recruited as part of the observational study as described above from out-patient clinics at the Edinburgh Heart Centre. If all eligibility criteria are met, patients will be randomised to receive treatment with either Dapagliflozin 10 mg, or matched placebo, once daily for 6 months at a ratio of 1:1. Detailed clinical assessment including history and examination, blood sampling, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and cardiac MRI will be collected at baseline, 1 and 6 months.
There will also be a 3 month safety visit after randomisation to record any adverse events.
