Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) and SC0062 (ERA) combination therapy augments nephroprotection and mitigates fluid retention and ketogenesis in people with T1D through complementary and synergistic mechanisms of actions.

Study Arms (6)
Treatment order 1
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of SC0062 in treatment period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive dapagliflozin. In period 3 subjects will receive a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.
Treatment order 2
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of SC0062 in treatment period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin. In period 3 subjects will receive dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.
Treatment order 3
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of dapagliflozin in treatment period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin. In period 3 subjects will receive SC0062. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.
Treatment order 4
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of dapagliflozin in treatment period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive SC0062. In period 3 subjects will receive a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.
Treatment order 5
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin in period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive SC0062. In period 3 subjects will receive dapagliflozin. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.
Treatment order 6
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will start with 4 weeks of a combination of SC0062 and dapagliflozin in period 1. In period 2 subjects will receive dapagliflozin. In period 3 subjects will receive SC0062. Between treatment periods there is a 4-week wash-out.

You may not qualify if:
