E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the effect of canagliflozin on glucose levels, insulin and gut hormones after a meal in patients without diabetes after weight-loss surgery. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To investigate the effect of canagliflozin on glucose levels and the incidence of low blood glucose levels during daily life (assessed through a continuous glucose monitoring system) in patients without diabetes after weight-loss surgery. Moreover, we will assess the effect of canagliflozin and low blood glucose symptoms after consumption of a meal in patients without diabetes after weight-loss surgery. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The difference in nadir (lowest) glucose levels between the two treatment options (canagliflozin 300mg vs no treatment) during the standardised mixed meal test for RYGB and SG (separate analysis for subjects who have undergone RYGB and for subjects who have undergone SG). For patients who will develop hypoglycaemia during the MMTT (defined as glucose levels ≤3.0 mmol/l) and the test will be stopped for safety reasons, the glucose levels at the time that the test will be completed will be taken into account as the nadir glucose level. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
5 days after initiation of canagliflozin 300mg once daily (vs 5 days with "no treatment"). These investigations will take place at day 5 and day 32 of the study. |
