CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy

In this non-inferior randomized controlled clinical trial we determine the safety and efficacy of oral SGLT2i compared with placebo as add-on to standard-of-care on affecting kidney transplant function (eGFR) in non-diabetic kidney transplant recipients.

Secondary objectives 2

  1. The secondary objectives will evaluate the effect of oral SGLT2i compared with placebo as add-on to standard-of-care on urinary tract infection, incidence of Post Transplant Diabetes Mellitus and prediabetes status, Urine-Aalbumin Creatinine Ratio, renal parameters, cardiovascular parameters and adverse events in non-diabetic kidney transplant recipients.
  2. The tertiary objective is to examine the SGLT2i effect on overall health by using the validated SF-36 survey.
