Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dapagliflozin will be compared with placebo to evaluate its effects on cardiac structure and safety in patients with kidney failure receiving maintenance hemodialysis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Dapagliflozin in Hemodialysis (DAPA-HD) trial is an academic, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study designed to assess the cardiovascular effects of dapagliflozin in patients with kidney failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. A total of 220 patients are randomized 1:1 to dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily or matching placebo for six months, with stratification according to residual urine output. The primary endpoint is the change in left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area, assessed by transthoracic echocardiography after six months of treatment. Secondary endpoints include additional echocardiographic measures, biomarker changes, quality of life, clinical events, and safety outcomes.
