About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate a novel diabetes ketoacidosis risk mitigation strategy to support the safe use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy in participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objectives of this study are to:

1. Evaluate how ketone metrics differ between participants with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease and those with normal renal function in three time periods. 2. Identify potentially modifiable ketosis risk factors. 3. Use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) data prior to and following treatment to determine ketosis risk factors and gain knowledge to further refine reporting of risk factors. 4. Gather information on how participants and clinicians like and use the CGM/CKM reports.

Participants will be asked to:

* Meet with study investigators to determine if they are eligible * Sign written informed consent * Take a pregnancy test, if applicable * Have blood taken to assess kidney function and hemoglobin A1c * Take the study medication, following the study team instructions * Wear the study provided sensor throughout participation. * Complete 5 in person visits, and 11 phone check ins over a nine-month period * Provide feedback on the usefulness of CGM/CKM reports

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.

Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.

Males and females; Ages 18-75.

Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, based on a clinical diagnosis with onset at least 3 months prior to screening.

Disqualifiers

Pregnancy, lactation, planning to become pregnant or unwillingness to be on contraception during the trial.

Any form of diabetes other than T1D.

Any history of use of sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors and use of other non-insulin glucose lowering medication within the last 6 months.

Chronic systemic corticosteroids (>4 consecutive weeks) within 6 months before screening or planned use during the study period.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Sotagliflozin initiation

    Drug

    All patients will be started on sotagliflozin at a dose of 200mg/d. After 3 months of sotagliflozin 200 mg/d, patients who do not achieve good glycemic control (TIR \>60%) and who have moderate or no CKD (eGFR \>60) will be offered the option to increase sotagliflozin to 400mg/d. The decision to increase sotagliflozin dose will be a shared decision between the study subject and the study investigators. All other participants will continue taking 200 mg sotagliflozin daily. After completing all study visits, all participants will stop taking sotagliflozin and continue care with their healthcare provider(s).
