SGLT2 Inhibitor with and without ALDosterone AntagonIst for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Design Paper
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) reduce heart failure (HF) events in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmr/pEF). The randomized comparison of SGLT2i/MRA combination versus SGLT2i or MRA alone requires further testing in HFmr/pEF. AIMS: To compare the efficacy (NT-proBNP change as primary outcome) and safety (potassium, creatinine, and blood pressure changes) of dapagliflozin/spironolactone combination versus dapagliflozin alone (primary comparison) and spironolactone alone (exploratory comparison). METHODS: SOGALDI-PEF (SOdium-Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, ALDosterone AntagonIst, or both for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; NCT05676684), a proof-of-concept investigator-initiated two-centre randomized cross-over trial comparing three arms (dapagliflozin, spironolactone, or both) for three periods of 12 weeks each intercalated by a wash-out period of 4 weeks. After two independent trials demonstrating efficacy of SGLT2i in HFmr/pEF, a mid-trial protocol amendment dropped the spironolactone alone sequence and reduced the wash-out period to 1 week. A sample size of 108 patients was estimated to provide 80% power, at a 0.05 alfa level, to detect a 0.15 LogNT-proBNP difference between the spironolactone/dapagliflozin combination and dapagliflozin alone sequence. RESULTS: , and 93% having an ejection fraction ≥ 50%. The median serum potassium was 4.3 mmol/L, and the median NT-proBNP was 764 pg/mL. Most patients were treated with renin-angiotensin blockers (68%), beta-blockers (70%) and loop diuretics (69%). Compared to other HFmr/pEF trials, SOGALDI-PEF patients were older, were more frequently women, had a high prevalence of atrial fibrillation, and had more often a preserved ejection fraction. CONCLUSIONS: SOGALDI-PEF will be the first trial in HFmr/pEF to test the combination of dapagliflozin/spironolactone vs dapagliflozin alone in a randomized manner. SOGALDI-PEF will provide information on the potential efficacy and safety of concomitant administration of spironolactone with dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin alone in an elderly population with HFmr/pEF.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
