Renal Effects of DPP-4 Inhibitor Linagliptin in Type 2 Diabetes
RENALIS
A Phase 4, Monocenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Comparator-controlled, Parallel-group, Mechanistic Intervention Trial to Assess the Effect of 8-week Treatment With the Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor (DPP-4i) Linagliptin Versus the Sulfonylurea (SU) Derivative Glimepiride on Renal Physiology and Biomarkers in Metformin-treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with type 2 diabetes (HbA1c: 6.5-9.0% DCCT or 48-75 mmol/mol IFCC)
- Both genders (females must be post-menopausal)
- Caucasian
- Age: 35-75 years
- Body Mass Index: \>25 kg/m2
- All patients with previously diagnosed hypertension should use a RAS-interfering agent (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker) for at least 3 months
You may not qualify if:
- Current / chronic use of the following medication: thiazolidinediones, insulin, glucocorticoids, immune suppressants, antimicrobial agents or chemotherapeutics. Subjects on diuretics will only be excluded when these drugs (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide) cannot be stopped for the duration of the study
- Chronic use of NSAIDs will not be allowed, unless used as incidental medication (1-2 tablets) for non-chronic indications. However, no such drugs can be taken within a time-frame of 2 weeks prior to renal-testing
- Pregnancy
- Frequent occurrence of (confirmed) hypoglycemia (plasma glucose \<3.9 mmol/L)
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (determined by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation)
- Current urinary tract infection and active nephritis
- Recent (\<6 months) history of cardiovascular disease, including: acute coronary syndrome, chronic heart failure (New York Heart Association grade II-IV), stroke, transient ischemic neurologic disorder
- Complaints compatible with or established gastroparesis and/or neurogenic bladder
- Active liver disease
- History of or actual pancreatic disease
- History of or actual malignancy (except for basal cell carcinoma)
- History of or actual severe mental disease
- Substance abuse (alcohol: defined as \>4 units/day; smoking/nicotine: defined as daily smoking/use)
- Allergy to any of the agents used in the study
- Inability to understand the study protocol or give informed consent
