Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the Additive Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Preventing Renal Failure in Patients Receiving Contrast Media During Angiography
Design
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 trial. Sample: 150 participants (75 per arm). Intervention: Dapagliflozin 10 mg daily vs. matched placebo, initiated ≥3 days pre-angiography and continued for 72 hours post-procedure.
Settings and conduct
At Shiraz Namazi Hospital, coronary angiography candidates are screened. The intervention group receives dapagliflozin 10 mg/day from 3 days before to 72 hours after angiography. Kidney function is measured at baseline, 24h, 48–72h, and 7 days post-angiography. Primary outcome: contrast-induced acute kidney injury (creatinine increase ≥0.3 mg/dL).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria are 18 years of age or older, and all patients with normal renal parameters who underwent coronary angiography with contrast agents will be included in the study. In addition, patients with EGFR ≤ 30 mL/min will also be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: Patients with known chronic kidney disease, baseline creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL, significant hypotension, anemia, and patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing emergency PCI
Intervention groups
Six groups based on eGFR strata (>90, 60–90, 30–60 mL/min/1.73m²), each divided into: SGLT2 inhibitor group (dapagliflozin 10 mg daily) Placebo group
Main outcome variables
Change in serum creatinine at 48–72 hours from baseline (pre-contrast) Occurrence of CI-AKI (increase in creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL or ≥50% within 48–72 hours) Need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis) during follow-up Change in eGFR from baseline Hospital length of stay related to renal complications

Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, patients will be randomly assigned to two intervention groups (SGLT2i recipients) and a control group in a 1:1 ratio. The randomization sequence will be generated using SPSS software. To maintain balance in the number of patients in each group, a block randomization method with variable block sizes will be used. The allocation sequence will be prepared and maintained by an independent person who is not involved in the study implementation process to prevent any bias in allocation.

ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving left main coronary artery

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL or ≥50% from baseline within 48–72 hours after angiography.
Timepoint
Patients in both groups will be hospitalized for at least 72 hours after angiography to perform clinical and laboratory assessments (creatinine, eGFR, and metabolic parameters).
Method of measurement
Serum Creatinine: Within the normal range of the reference laboratoryeGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m²BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): Within the normal rangeOther parameters related to kidney function (Na, K, etc.) are also recorded and examined quantitatively.
