Could a common diabetes drug improve dialysis outcomes?
NCT ID NCT07491042
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug usually used for diabetes, can help people with end-stage kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis. Over six months, 38 participants will take the drug daily to see if it improves fluid removal, dialysis adequacy, and urine output. The goal is to find a new way to enhance dialysis effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to improve fluid removal and dialysis adequacy in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 38 participants and no control group, so results may not be conclusive. Risks include urinary tract infections and hypoglycemia.
