Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that sotagliflozin (SGLT1/2 inhibitor) and ambrisentan (ERA) combination therapy augments nephroprotection and mitigates fluid retention and ketogenesis in people with T1D through complementary and synergistic mechanisms of actions.
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 with Type 1 Diabetes and diabetic kidney disease, who are not pregnant or lactating, can use effective contraception, have a stable medication regimen, and understand their condition. They must have specific levels of albumin in urine and kidney function. Those with recent severe hypoglycemia, heart issues, edema or other conditions that could affect safety/outcomes cannot join.Inclusion Criteria
My kidney function is moderately reduced.
I am between 18 and 64 years old.
Exclusion Criteria
I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
I often have low blood sugar without noticing.
I have taken an SGLT2 inhibitor medication within the last 30 days.
I have been diagnosed with severe swelling or heart failure.
Participant Groups
The study tests if combining Sotagliflozin (a drug reducing sugar absorption) with Ambrisentan (which widens blood vessels) provides better protection against kidney damage in Type 1 Diabetics without causing fluid retention or increased ketone production compared to each drug alone.
