Brief summary (registry, in English)

AI-kivonat: who the study is looking for

Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease whose blood sugar is not well controlled on once-daily basal insulin, alone or with metformin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, or both.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
Men and women (sex assigned at birth)
Disease stage
Type 2 diabetes diagnosed at least 180 days before screening, with a history of chronic kidney disease
Earlier treatment
Must be on a stable once-daily dose of basal insulin (at least 0.25 U/kg/day or 20 U/day), alone or with metformin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, or both. Must take the maximum labelled or tolerated dose of an ACE inhibitor or ARB (stable for at least 30 days), unless it is not tolerated or not advised.
Biomarker or test result
HbA1c measured by a central laboratory at screening (the exact value is not shown in the record)

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning pregnancy, or able to become pregnant and not using adequate contraception
  • On regular or occasional dialysis
  • Treatment with GLP-1 based drugs or amylin analogues, or other diabetes or obesity drugs not named in the inclusion criteria
  • Heart attack, stroke, mini-stroke, or hospital stay for unstable angina within 60 days before screening
  • Lupus nephritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, or kidney disease needing immunosuppressive treatment

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from EU CTIS (euclinicaltrials.eu) and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • 11 Combination use of an ACE inhibitor and an ARB within 30 days prior to screening.
  • 2 Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes or obesity other than stated in the inclusion criteria [CCI] before screening. However, insulin treatment for gestational diabetes or short-term insulin treatment for a maximum of 14 consecutive days is allowed.
  • 3 Treatment with glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), dual GLP 1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment) or amylin analogues [CCI] before screening.
  • 4 Participant with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy who received treatment with retinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor within 180 days before screening or are expected to require treatment within 180 days after screening. Diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy must be verified by an eye examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomisation. Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination.
  • 5 Myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischaemic attack or hospitalisation for unstable angina pectoris within 60 days before screening.
  • 9 Any primary or secondary kidney disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy [CCI] prior to screening.

Other illness

  • 6 Chronic heart failure classified as being in New York Heart Association Class IV at screening.

Other

  • 1 Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of childbearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive method.
  • 10 Chronic or intermittent haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis [CCI] before screening.
  • 7 Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation.
  • 8 Lupus nephritis or antineutrophil cytoplasmic (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.

Who the study is looking for

  • 1 Male or female (sex assigned at birth).
  • 2 Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • 3 Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) ≥ 180 days before screening.
  • 4 HbA1c [CCI] as determined by central laboratory at screening.
  • 5 [CCI].
  • 6 On stable once-daily dose of basal insulin (minimum of 0.25 U/kg/day or 20 U/day) at the investigator’s discretion alone or in combination with metformin, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) or both (at stable effective or maximum tolerated dose as judged by the investigator) [CCI] prior to screening. Basal insulin dose is considered stable when all doses during this period are within the range defined by ±20%.
  • 7 [CCI], as determined by central laboratory at screening.
  • 8 History of chronic kidney disease based on medical records or as judged by the investigator.
  • 9 Treatment with maximum labelled or tolerated dose of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), unless such treatment is contraindicated or not tolerated, in the opinion of the investigator. Treatment dose must be stable for at least 30 days prior to screening.
