Trial of Semaglutide for Diabetic Kidney Disease in Type 1 Diabetes
University of Washington
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of semaglutide on change in albuminuria from baseline to 26 weeks in type 1 diabetes. The secondary objective is to determine the effects of semaglutide on change in kidney parameters (including kidney oxygenation and function) measured by MRI from baseline to 26 weeks in type 1 diabetes. Other objectives are to determine the glycemic effects and safety of semaglutide in type 1 diabetes.
Description
A parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study will rigorously test effects of semaglutide on the kidney. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring will be used to control glycemia during study run-in (prior to randomization) and during active therapy, which investigators anticipate will lead to similar glycemic control according to treatment assignment and ability to assess effects independent of glycemia. The trial duration is 26 weeks, a period of time sufficient to gradually titrate study medications to maximum target dose (over 12 weeks) and then observe the full short…
