Effects of sodium intake on kidney function changes with ertugliflozin in type 2 diabetes

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how dietary sodium intake influences the effects of ertugliflozin, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, on kidney function and systemic blood flow. It is a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study that will assess participants' responses to different sodium diets while on ertugliflozin. The goal is to understand the mechanisms behind the protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and how dietary factors may modify these effects. The findings could lead to optimized dietary recommendations for patients taking this medication.
