Aortic Stenosis Transcatether Aortic Valve Implantation | Drug: Dapagliflozin 10 MG | Phase 4 |
Patients discharged after TAVI, with a history of heart failure (HF) plus depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 40%) or diabetes mellitus (DM) or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 25 and 75 ml/min/1.73 m2, will be randomized (1:1) before hospital discharge to receive treatment with dapagliflozin 10 mg/day or no dapagliflozin (no placebo).
Only variables available during routine clinical practice will be collected and there will be no additional tests.
The incidence of clinical events and adherence to the dapagliflozin arm will be documented at 2 time-points (3 ± 1 months and 12 months) by phone calls and review of medical records.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 1020 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Dapa-TAVI is a pragmatic, controlled, prospective, randomized, open-label blinded endpoint (PROBE design) clinical trial. Patients being discharged after TAVI who meet all inclusion criteria, and none of the exclusion criteria, will be eligible for the enrollment. Patients will be 1:1 randomized to 1 of these 2 arms:
|
Masking: | Single (Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | All events will be adjudicated by the Clinical Events Adjudication Committee (CEAC), without information about the therapy (intervention or control) (blinded endpoint) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | Dapagliflozin After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation |
Actual Study Start Date : | January 27, 2021 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | March 31, 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | March 31, 2024 |

- Incidence rate of the composite of all-cause mortality or worsening heart failure (HF) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]All-cause mortality and worsening HF (including hospitalization for HF or an urgent visit resulting in intravenous therapy for HF).
- Incidence rate all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 1 year ]All cause mortality
- Incidence rate of Cardiovascular death [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Mortality secondary to cardiovascular cause
- Incidence rate of worsening heart failure (HF) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Worsening HF (including hospitalization for HF or an urgent visit resulting in intravenous therapy for HF).
- Incidence rate of atrial fibrillation [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Atrial Fibrillation confirmed by ECG
- Improvement in NYHA class. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Functional class according to New York Heart Association classification
- Safety endpoints [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Symptomatic hypotension. Symptomatic hypotension includes postural dizziness with systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg, and orthostatic hypotension (defined as a decrease of >20 mmHg in systolic blood pressure or >10 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure from a supine to a standing position).
- Major hypoglycemia. Major hypoglucemia is defined as an event where all the following criteria were confirmed by the investigator: (1) the patient experienced symptoms of severe impairment in consciousness or behaviour; (2) the patient needed external assistance; (3) intervention was needed to treat the hypoglycaemia; and (4) there was prompt recovery of acute symptoms following the intervention.
- Ketoacidosis.
- Genital or Urinary Infections
- Amputation
- Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Perineum (Fournier's Gangrene)
- Rate of treatment switch (crossovers) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Percentage of patients in the "dapagliflozin arm" who stop this treatment and percentage of patients in "standard care" arm who start dapagliflozin therapy
