E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effect of the spironolactone-dapagliflozin combination vs. spironolactone alone on the percentage change of the circulating levels of log-transformed NT-pro BNP relative to the baseline log NT-pro BNP levels. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To assess the effect of the spironolactone-dapagliflozin combination vs. dapagliflozin alone on the percentage change of the circulating levels of log-transformed NT-pro BNP relative to the baseline log NT-pro BNP level. - To assess the effect of the spironolactone-dapagliflozin combination vs. spironolactone and dapagliflozin alone periods on the proportion of patients reaching 20% or greater reduction in NT-pro BNP levels - To compare the change in left atrial volume and blood pressure between the spironolactone-dapagliflozin combination period vs. spironolactone and dapagliflozin alone periods - To compare the change in quality-of-life score - To compare the effect of spironolactone, dapagliflozin, and spironolactone-dapagliflozin combination on the change of exercise tolerance, endothelial function, vascular structure, systemic congestion, natriuresis, glycosuria and microalbuminuria. |

Abstinence of heterosexual intercourse (when this is in line with preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) b. Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable) c. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) d. Intrauterine device e. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system f. Bilateral tubal occlusion g. Vasectomized partner, who has received medical assessment of the surgical success, or clinically diagnosed infertile partner |
