Clinical Value of Adding Dapagliflozin in Patients With Nephrotic Syndrome

August 31, 2023 updated by: Ain Shams University

Conducted as a randomized controlled clinical trial, this study aims to assess the potential benefits of incorporating dapagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, into the treatment regimen of patients diagnosed with primary nephrotic syndrome. The primary focus is on examining the impact of dapagliflozin on two key parameters: proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

The trial involves adult participants who have been definitively diagnosed with primary nephrotic syndrome through renal biopsy. In conjunction with their standard care, these participants will receive a daily dose of dapagliflozin at 10 mg. Over a span of six months, they will undergo comprehensive monthly assessments. These assessments will involve the collection and analysis of urine samples to quantify proteinuria and perform urinalysis. Additionally, blood samples will be taken to determine the estimated eGFR, lipid profile, glycated hemoglobin. Participants will also be encouraged to report any potential side effects resulting from their medication intake.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dapagliflozin Arm
During the study duration of 6 months, this cohort will be administered a daily dose of 10 mg dapagliflozin in conjunction with the standard of care for primary nephrotic syndrome based on the KDIGO 2021 guidelines. The conventional treatment regimen may encompass immunosuppressive medications, agents that block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), statins, and diuretics as deemed necessary.
Drug: Dapagliflozin 10mg Tab
Dapagliflozin 10 mg will be added to the standard of care regimen of primary nephrotic syndrome patients
No Intervention: Control Arm
This cohort will exclusively be subjected to the standard of care tailored for primary nephrotic syndrome. This could encompass administration of immunosuppressive drugs, agents targeting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), statins, and diuretics as warranted by individual needs.
