Study Description

Brief Summary

Primary Objectives:
  • Assess the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin in hemodynamically stable participants with worsening of heart failure, compared to placebo.

Drug: Placebo
Pharmaceutical form: Tablet; Route of administration: Oral

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), AEs of Special Interest (AESIs), AEs Leading to Discontinuation From the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) and Deaths [Baseline up to Day 14]

      AE: is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAEs: an event that results in death; an event that, in the view of the investigator, places the participants at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); an outcome that results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect diagnosed in a child of a participant; an event that requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; an event that results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. AESI: is an adverse event (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern, specific to the IMP or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor may be appropriate.

    2. Change From Baseline in Hemoconcentration as Assessed by Changes in Albumin to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

    3. Change From Baseline in Hemoconcentration as Assessed by Changes in Hematocrit to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

    4. Change From Baseline in Hemoconcentration as Assessed by Changes in Hemoglobin to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

    5. Change From Baseline in Hemoconcentration as Assessed by Changes in Total Protein to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

    6. Changes From Baseline in Plasma Volume to Day 14 [Baseline to 14 Days]

      Change in plasma volume in milliliters (mL) was assessed by the indicator dilution method using 131I-labelled human albumin.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Erythropoietin to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

      Change in erythropoietin international units per liter (IU/L) was measured by chemiluminescent enzyme-labelled immunometric assay.

    2. Change From Baseline in N-terminal Prohormone of Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) to Day 14 [Baseline to Day 14]

      Change in NT-proBNP picomoles per liter (pmol/L) was measured by standard electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.

    Analysis Population Description
    PD population included all randomized and treated participants who had valid values of the main PD parameters at baseline and Day 14 (EOT). The number of participants analyzed is the number of participants with available data.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Sotagliflozin 200 mg Sotagliflozin 400 mg
    Arm/Group Description Participants were randomized to matching placebo to sotagliflozin administered as two tablets, once daily, before the first meal of the day in the double-blind treatment period for up to 14 days. Participants were randomized to Sotagliflozin 200 mg administered as 1 sotagliflozin tablet and 1 matching placebo tablet, once daily, before the first meal of the day in the double-blind treatment period for up to 14 days.
