E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To show that treatment with balcinrenone preserves the beneficial dapagliflozin-driven increase in 24h renal glucose excretion |
Montrer que le traitement par la balcinrenone préserve l'augmentation bénéfique de l'excrétion rénale de glucose sur 24 heures induite par la dapagliflozine. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Topic 1 To demonstrate that the dapagliflozin-induced increase in urine solute concentration is not altered by balcinrenone Topic 2 To demonstrate that treatment with dapagliflozin, with or without balcinrenone reduces free-water clearance within 48h, and further urine concentration is observed after 4 weeks, increases the contribution of glucose to osmotic-diuretic volume formation, decreases the contribution of sodium and urea to osmotic-diuretic volume formation, does not change the contribution of potassium to osmotic-diuretic volume formation within 48h, and that this effect persists after 4 weeks and does not change body water content after 4 weeks. Topic 3 To demonstrate that patients treated with dapagliflozin alone or in combination with balcinrenone show increased plasma copeptin levels and show increased plasma glucagon and reduced plasma insulin levels within 48h and/or after 4 weeks. |
Thème 1: Démontrer que l'augmentation de la concentration de solutés dans l'urine induite par la dapagliflozine n'est pas modifiée par la balcinrenone. Thème 2: Démontrer que le traitement par la dapagliflozine, avec ou sans balcinrenone, réduit la clairance de l'eau libre, augmente la contribution du glucose à la diurèse osmotique, diminue la contribution du sodium et de l'urée à la diurèse osmotique, ne modifie pas la contribution du potassium à la diurèse osmotique dans les 48h et ne modifie pas le contenu en eau de l'organisme après 4 semaines et que ces effet persistent après 4 semaines. Thème 3: Démontrer que le traitement par la dapagliflozine, avec ou sans balcinrenone, augmente la concentration plasmatique de copeptine, augmente la concentration plasmatique de glucagon et diminue celle de l'insuline dans les 48h, et que l’effet persiste après 4 semaines.
