This Phase 2 trial gives oral dapagliflozin 10 mg daily for six months to people with renal AL amyloidosis and proteinuria. The study is decentralized: screening, consent, and most visits are remote, medication is mailed, and local labs are used. Participants are followed with telemedicine and lab checks around 1, 3 and 6 months.
What it is studying. The study is testing whether daily dapagliflozin is safe for people with renal AL amyloidosis and whether it leads to a 30% or greater reduction in 24‑hour albuminuria within six months. The study also tracks tele-visit completion and other safety data during treatment.
What the researchers hope to learn. To measure the proportion of participants who achieve a 30% reduction in 24-hour albuminuria within six months of starting dapagliflozin; to collect safety data on dapagliflozin in this population; and to assess tele-visit completion in a decentralized study design.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an oral drug called dapagliflozin is safe and can reduce high protein levels in the urine of patients with renal amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis using a decentralized study design. Participants will be:
- screened for the trial via an online platform
- contacted by study personal to obtain electronic consent
- enrolled in the trial if eligible and consented
- contacted by study personal for further instructions and directions
- sent dapagliflozin oral medication (supplied by the site pharmacy)
- followed up regularly with the study team via telemedicine or other online avenues
- monitored using lab work, inquiries about side effects and assessment of protocol adherence at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months
- continue treatment for 6 months

Study description and what participation involves
The study's detailed description, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Show the detailed description from the registry
- Participants are recruited by one of the following methods:
- Self-referral through the website
- Receiving recruitment materials from their provider.
- Participant visits the prescreening website.
- High level prescreening questions are answered by the participant.
- If appropriate based on answers to the questions, the participant may provide their contact information for follow up by the study team.
- Study team contacts potential participants to review the study and explain next steps
- Participant is provided with the link and password to view the video and sign the consent via Adobe Sign
- An investigator will meet virtually with the participant to obtain medical history information, concomitant medications, and performance status (screening visit)
- Once the participant passes screening in step 5, an order will be sent to the participant for the remaining screening labs to be done at a local laboratory that is covered by their insurance
- The lab will fax results to the site
- After review of eligibility and the study team will proceed with enrolling the participant if appropriate
- The participant will proceed to the baseline visit (telehealth for any portion that can be done via phone/video and order for lab tests as previously described) if needed to comply with the protocol calendar/window.
- The participant is approved to begin dosing by the investigator
- The site will dispense via mail the following:
- 4 month's supply of Dapagliflozin
- A self-addressed envelope for return of the diary and pill bottles at the end of the dosing period
- A weighing scale (if required)
- Dosing compliance will be checked during initial study treatment via sharing of pill accountability data or screenshot of paper pill diary
- If clinically indicated, labs will be ordered and run more frequently to assess for toxicity.
- Visits 3, 4, and 5 will be conducted in the same manner as described above.
- All pill bottles and diaries (if paper version is used) will be returned via the provided envelope

Screening and consent are handled online; you'll meet the investigator virtually to review medical history and performance status. Local laboratory tests will be ordered (results faxed to the study site) and participants receive study medication by mail. You will take dapagliflozin 10 mg orally once daily for 6 months, complete telemedicine visits and online check-ins, and have lab monitoring and side-effect checks at about 1, 3 and 6 months (additional labs if clinically needed). Pill diaries and empty pill bottles are returned by mail using the provided envelope.
How the study is structured. Interventional Phase 2, single-group, open-label study. Everyone enrolled receives dapagliflozin 10 mg orally once daily for six months. The trial uses a decentralized approach: online prescreening and electronic consent, virtual visits/telemedicine, medication mailed from the site pharmacy, and local laboratory testing at baseline and follow-up (about 1, 3 and 6 months). There is no randomization or masking.
