About this trial

This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled crossover trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in the treatment of hereditary kidney disease with proteinuria in children

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Confirmed diagnosis of hereditary kidney disease (identification of pathogenic genes through molecular genetic testing; for Alport syndrome, molecular diagnosis is not necessarily required if diagnosed based on clinical and pathological findings; for those with a clear family history and a high clinical suspicion of hereditary kidney disease).

24 - hour urinary protein level > 0.2 g or urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) > 0.2 mg/mg.

Calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Schwartz formula (36.5 * height in cm / serum creatinine in μmol/L), with eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m².

Stable use of the basic treatment drug RAASi (including ACEI/ARB) for more than 4 weeks, and no dosage adjustment during the treatment period.

Disqualifiers

Treatment with hormones/immunosuppressive agents within the previous 4 weeks.

Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors within the previous 4 weeks.

Comorbid diabetes.

Uncontrolled urinary tract infection.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Dapagliflozin+Standard Treatment for 12 weeks,washout period for 4 weeks,then Standard Treatment alone for12 weeks

    Drug

    ①Dapagliflozin+Standard Treatment for 12 weeks. Dapagliflozin therapy (Farxiga®, 10 mg tablets) is administered orally once daily,with dose adjustment based on body weight: 5 mg/day for participants ≤30 kg; 5 mg/day initially (first week), then increased to 10 mg/day for participants \>30 kg Standard Treatment:standard renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapy(The dosage will be maintained at the pre-enrollment level throughout the entire treatment period, with no adjustments made during therapy.),This combined therapy will be administered for 12 weeks. ② Washout period for 4 weeks Participants should maintenance RAASi therapy while discontinuing dapagliflozin. ③Standard Treatment alone for an additional 12 weeks. To ensure compliance, all participants are required to complete a daily medication log.If any adverse events (AEs) occur, appropriate clinical interventions will be promptly implemented

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in 24-hour urinary protein excretion from baseline to week 12

The change in 24-hour urinary protein excretion from baseline to week 12 of treatment with dapagliflozin combined with RAASi . According to the research protocol, the 24-hour urine of the pediatric patients is collected during the planned follow-up period, and the pyrogallol red method is used for the quantitative test of the protein in the urine.

Time frame
From baseline to week 12

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) levels from baseline to week 12

The change in the urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) levels from baseline to week 12 of treatment with dapagliflozin combined with RAASi. The pyrogallol red method is used for detecting urinary protein, and the enzymatic method is used for detecting urinary creatinine. UPCR = urinary protein/urinary creatinine (mg/mg).

Time frame
From baseline to week 12
2

Changes in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) levels from baseline to week 12

The change in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) levels from baseline to week 12 of treatment with dapagliflozin combined with RAASi. The immunoturbidimetric method is used for detecting urinary albumin, and the enzymatic method is used for detecting urinary creatinine. UACR = urinary albumin/urinary creatinine (mg/g).

Time frame
From baseline to week 12
3

Changes in serum albumin levels from baseline to week 12

The change in the serum albumin level from baseline to week 12 of treatment with dapagliflozin combined with RAASi. Venous blood is collected, and the test is conducted through the routine biochemical examination in the hospital.

Time frame
From baseline to week 12
4

Changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline to week 12

The change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline to week 12 of treatment with dapagliflozin combined with RAASi. Venous blood is collected, and the serum creatinine level is detected through the routine biochemical examination in the hospital. The eGFR is calculated according to the Schwartz formula (36.5 \* height in cm / serum creatinine in μmol/L).

Time frame
From baseline to week 12
