Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of SGLT-2 Inhibition on Myocardial Fibrosis and Inflammation as Assessed by Cardiac MRI in Patients With DM2 (NCT NCT03782259)

NCT ID: NCT03782259

Last Updated: 2023-12-29

Results Overview

Cardiac MRI using T1-mapping is capable of quantifying myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), a surrogate of fibrosis, with excellent inter- and intra-observer variability. Cardiac fibrosis was assessed by cardiac MRI T1 mapping to calculate ECV at two timepoints, baseline and at approximately 1 year. ECV combines native and contrast-enhanced T1 mapping. Extracellular Volume (ECV) maps were generated offline using MATLAB software. ECV was calculated from native and post-contrast T1 values for blood and myocardial tissue, the partition coefficient lambda (λ), and hematocrit using the following formulas: ECV = λ(1-hematocrit); λ = (1/T1 myocardium post-contrast-1/T1 myocardium-native)/(1/T1 blood post-contrast-1/T1 blood-native).

Neither subjects nor the Study Site personnel will know which treatment subjects are assigned to. The study drug must be taken daily. The subject's other medications will not be changed by the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Approximately 12 Months

Global myocardial strain measured from cardiac MRI with T1-mapping at two timepoints. MRI at Randomization and MRI at approximately 12 Months. Myocardial strain measurements with feature tracking will be performed to measure myocardial strain from the Balanced Steady State Free Precession (bSSFP) short-axis and long-axis cine images. Long-axis cine images will be further used to compute global myocardial strain. Ancova test with adjusted for baseline global myocardial strain will be used to compare change in global myocardial strain over 12 months between 2 treatment groups. Global myocardial strain reported as longitudinal, radial, and circumferential at baseline and 1 year.
