The INDORSE Study: Inhibition of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV: Outcomes on Renal Sodium Excretion

Summary

Background: Dedicated renal hemodynamic and renal function studies are lacking for DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with Type 2 diabetes; accordingly little is known regarding the mechanisms mediating the renal effects of DPP-4 inhibitors in humans. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of DPP-4 inhibition acutely (single dose) and following short-term therapy (28 days) on renal sodium handling and renal hemodynamics and function in patients with type 2 diabetes and systolic hypertension. Design: double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, Phase IV. Patient population: 32 patients with Type 2 diabetes, HbA1c (6.5%-9%), with systolic blood pressure ranging from 120-160 mmHg. Intervention: subjects will be randomized (1:1) to either sitagliptin (100 mg daily) or to placebo (1 tablet daily) for 28 days. Endpoints: Fractional excretion of sodium, renal function, and renal hemodynamics.
