Antithrombotic Activities of Sotagliflozin vs. Empagliflozin

United States17 participantsStarted 2025-02-25

Plain-language summary

The availability of Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) has dramatically altered the management of heart failure (HF) patients, independently of their ejection fraction and glycemic status. A meta-analysis of 57 studies comparing SGLT2-I monotherapy vs. placebo or active comparator showed reductions in major cardiovascular events, but no impact on atherothrombotic events. In fact, a non-significant increase in the risk for non-fatal stroke was observed. Similar trend observed in multiple trials indicate a SGLT2-i class effect. Sotagliflozin is the first dual SGLT1/2 receptor inhibitor, that was shown to significantly reduce atherothrombotic events compared with placebo in diabetic HF patients, suggesting that dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor may have additional properties vs. SGLT2-i. The hypothesis of this study is that dual SGLT1/2 inhibition by sotagliflozin improves thrombogenic profile (i.e. reduces thrombus formation), which could make it a safer and more effective treatment option for cardiovascular (CV) patients than SGLT2-i. To test the hypothesis, the researchers will compare the antithrombotic activity of sotagliflozin vs. empagliflozin in healthy volunteers using a randomized, cross-over study design, where each participant will receive both study treatments (sotagliflozin and empagliflozin) separated by a washout period. Treatment effects will be assessed by measuring ex vivo thrombus formation using the Badimon Perfusion chamber, platelet aggregation using Multiplate Analyzer, and Thromboelastometry using RoTEM Gamma. Study assessments will be performed before initiating (baseline/pre-treatment) and after completion of each treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are eligible if they meet all of the following criteria: * Male or female volunteers older than 18 years old. * Disease-free as assessed by medical history and physical examination. * Ability to provide signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria: Subjects will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria: * Pregnant or lactating women * History of clinically relevant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, metabolic, hematologic, neurologic, respiratory or psychiatric disease, bleeding, acute infectious disease or signs of acute illness. * Use of medication within one month prior to study drug administration or within six times the elimination half-life (whichever is longer), except for oral contraceptives or occasional use of acetaminophen or an antihistamine. * History of drug abuse or alcohol consumption \>20 g/day \[125 ml (30ml=1oz) glass of 10% wine = 12.5 g, 40 mL aperitif of 40% = 17 g, 250 mL glass of 6% beer = 15g\] * Loss of \>400 mL blood or blood donation within 3 months. * Conditions associated with hemorrhagic risk, e.g., frequent epistaxis, gastrointestinal ulcer, hemorrhagic vascular lesions, recent surgery.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
