NCT06762964

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine whether treatment with the study drug dapagliflozin for 3 months affects peripheral venous pressure at rest and during exercise in adults with failing Fontan circulation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) at rest

    Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) at rest will be determined by Stress Echocardiogram. Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) with feet elevated

    Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) with feet elevated will be determined by Stress Echocardiogram. Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) at 20W exercise

    Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) at 20W exercise will be determined by Stress Echocardiogram. Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Cardiac output at rest

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Cardiac output with exercise

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Peak oxygen consumption (VO2) during exercise

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Change in plasma volume

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • Change in blood volume

    Baseline, 12 Weeks

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
  • History of Fontan procedure
  • Male or female subject
  • Age ≥ 18
  • Symptoms of dyspnea (NYHA II-IV) with no non-cardiac or ischemia explanation
  • Elevated peripheral venous pressure (PVP) at rest or during exercise (≥20 mmHg) ascertained at Visit 1. Patients that have consented to study procedures but do not meet this invasive criterion will be considered as screen failures and will not be randomized.

You may not qualify if:

  • Type I diabetes
  • Any of the following medications: Insulin or Pramlintide, Sandostatin, Akeega (abiraterone acetate), Growth Hormone (Somatogrogon-GHLA), Lithium, Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, Thioctic acid (alpha lipoic acid), Empagliflozin or Canagliflozin
  • Recent hospitalization (\<30 days) or revascularization (\<90 days)
  • Significant valvular heart disease (≥moderate stenosis, \>moderate regurgitation)
  • Significant Fontan obstruction with resting SVC-IVC gradient \>4 mmHg
  • Primary cardiomyopathy (such as amyloid)
  • Dyspnea due to primary lung disease or myocardial ischemia in the opinion of the investigator
  • Severe anemia (hemoglobin \<9 gm/dl)
  • Severe kidney disease (estimated GFR\<30) or liver disease
  • Women of childbearing potential not willing to use a medically accepted method of contraception OR who are currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breast feeding.
  • History of serious hypersensitivity reaction to dapagliflozin
  • Subjects on dialysis
  • Subjects with severe liver disease with history of decompensation including ascites or encephalopathy or variceal bleeding
  • Single ventricle heart disease without Fontan palliation
  • Those with a history of Fontan takedown
