Canagliflozin

Summary: PRECIDENTD is a randomized, open label, pragmatic clinical trial designed to compare rates of the total number of cardiovascular, kidney, and death events among two alternative treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at high risk for ASCVD. To accomplish this objective, we will randomly assign 6,000 patients with e...

Summary: The study is observational and involves patients (pts) with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD) who have undergone lower limb revascularization procedures. Patients who are at least one year post-procedure will be contacted by phone and asked whether any cardiovascular complications occurred during that period, specifically major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or major adverse limb e...

Summary: This is a phase II, proof-of-concept, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over randomized clinical trial, assessing the effect of canagliflozin on peritoneal membrane function in patients on PD. The primary aim of this trial is to determine the short-term effects of canagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, on glucose absorption by the peritoneal membrane and on ultrafiltration, as assessed by a sta...

Summary: Acute kidney disease (AKD) happens between 7 and 90 days after an initial kidney injury (AKI). This period is crucial because it can determine whether the condition worsens into chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite knowing this, there is no proven treatment to improve outcomes for people with AKD. Recent studies have shown that drugs called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can sl...

Summary: This is a phase II, proof of concept, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial, assessing the effect of canagliflozin on cardiac structure and function in patients with advanced renal disease, including those on maintenance dialysis. Our primary aim is to determine the effect of canagliflozin on cardiac structure and function in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), compared wi...

Summary: Colorectal cancer (CRC), ranking third in incidence among men and second in women globally with third-highest mortality in the US, remains a major health challenge despite multimodal therapies, particularly for advanced-stage patients with poor prognosis where immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like PD-1/PD-L1 blockers have emerged as transformative agents by reinvigorating anti-tumor immunity th...

Summary: Canagliflozin is an oral drug which is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Canagliflozin acts by increasing salt and sugar loss in the urine, and has shown to protect heart, kidney, and blood vessel function in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how canagliflozin protects the kidneys from disease. Therefore, t...

Summary: CANTOR SING is a pilot single center double blinded randomized study. The investigators will compare the effect of canagliflozin (300 mg daily - intervention arm) vs. placebo (control group) on the FDG aortic uptake in patients with stable CAD (over 60 days post-myocardial infarction) after a 6-month period of treatment. The investigators plan to enroll 8 patients in each arm (total sample size: 1...

Summary: The goal of this open-label, non-randomized clinical trial is to determine what effects, if any, an FDA-approved drug class known as SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin or INVOKANA) has any protective effects on kidney function in Type 2 diabetes. We are looking for participants 18-80 years of age, who have had a clinical diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes for ≥ 3 years. Participants will be asked to sign a...
