Sotagliflozin in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Patients

The clinical benefits of the dual Sodium-Glucose cotransporter (SGLT) 1 and 2-inhibition have recently been reported in two clinical trials. The SOLOIST reported the benefits of sotagliflozin in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients hospitalized for worsening of Heart Failure (HF), while the SCORED involved T2DM patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). It is worth noting that not only did the event curves separate within the first week post-treatment, but the effects of sotagliflozin on HF-related outcomes were observed regardless of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) values and did not seem to attenuate with increasing LVEF as seen with empagliflozin and sacubitril/valsartan. Despite the favorable outcomes, the mechanism(s) of action through which sotagliflozin exerts these benefits remains unclear.

The present study aims to investigate the potential (non-glucose dependent) "cardio-renal" pleiotropic effects of sotagliflozin in a mechanistic, randomized, double blind, placebo-control trial in HF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Comparisons between treatment groups will be made using cardiac MRI, CPET, 6-MWT and KCCQ-12.

Inclusion criteria

patients should meet all of the following criteria

  • Ambulatory patients age ≥ 18 years

  • No diabetes as confirmed by HbA1c <6.5%, fasting serum glucose <126 mg/dL, and review of concomitant medications and medical history
  • Diagnosis of Heart failure (NYHA II to III)
  • LVEF > 50%

Exclusion criteria

  • Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
  • Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or cardiac surgery within the last week.
  • Pregnant or lactating women,
  • Acute decompensated HF or hospitalized for HF within 1 month from screening visit
  • Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) < 25 ml/ min/1.73m2,
  • Patients on drugs with potential interaction with sotagliflozin including digoxin, phenytoin, HIV medication and rifampin.
  • Receiving SGLT2-I 3-months prior to randomization.
  • non-MRI compatible PM or ICD and any other medical or physical condition considered unappropriated by a study physician.

Treatment and study plan

Sotagliflozin

Drug

Daily administration of sotagliflozin (2x200 mg, PO, OD) for 6 months.

Placebo

Drug

Matching placebo for 6 months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in Left Ventricular Mass in CMRI

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in Left Ventricular (LV) mass at 6 months compared to baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in Left Ventricular End-systolic Volume

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) in CMRI at 6 months compared to baseline

  2. Changes in Left Ventricular End-diastolic Volume

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) in CMRI at 6 months compared to baseline

  3. Changes in Extracellular Volume (ECV)

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in extracellular volume (ECV) to assess Left Ventricular interstitial myocardial fibrosis as quantified using T1 mapping at 6 months compared to baseline

  4. Changes in Left Atrial Volume Index

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in Left atrial volume index measured by CMRI at 6 months compared to baseline

  5. Changes in Peak Oxygen Consumption (peakVO2)

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in exercise capacity as assessed by peak oxygen consumption in Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) at 6 months compared to baseline

  6. Changes 6 Minute Walk Test

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in exercise tolerance as assessed by 6 minute walk test, or the distance covered over a time of 6 minutes, at 6 months compared to baseline

  7. Changes in The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)

    Time frame: Baseline and 6 months

    Changes in The KCCQ at 6 months compared to baseline. The KCCQ is the most widely used instrument to evaluate quality of life in Heart Failure (HF).

    The KCCQ is a 12-item self-administered questionnaire used to measure the patient's perception of their health status. The KCCQ is a disease-specific health status instrument composed of 12 items that quantifies the domains of physical limitations, symptoms, self-efficacy, social limitation and quality of life from heart failure. Full scale range is from 0 to 100; higher scores reflect better health status.
