Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
empagliflozin 10mg tablet orally daily for 7 days, then increased to 25mg orally daily for 7 days followed by a 7 day wash out phase.
The wash out phase is to observe how quickly kidney function returns to baseline following cessation of the drug.
Participants will bring in drug container at end of each 7 day period to check complicance.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 332243 0
Empagliflozin pharmacokinetics will be characterised using standard non-compartmental methods as well as a non-linear mixed effects methodology. Pharmacokinetic parameters including maximum and minimal plasma concentrations, volume of distribution, half-life, area-under the plasma concentration time curve (for the 24 hour profile), total apparent plasma clearance, free ad bound clearance, and renal clearance will be estimated as well as measured using urinary excretion and compared to those expected for individuals with CKD3 and 2.
Timepoint [1] 332243 0
Samples will be taken at 0, 20 minutes, 40-minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours post dose on day 1 of treatment. Timed urine collection will be at 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours and 8 - 24 hours.
Then samples at 12 hours post dose will be taken on days 4,6,7,,8, 11,13,14 post treatment, and day 21 - 7 days after wash out.
These parameters will be used to determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of empagliflozin in CKD stage 4.
Secondary outcome [1] 412681 0
changes in urinary sodium excretion.
Timepoint [1] 412681 0
at 24 hours, 7 days, day 8, and day 14 post treatment commencement.
Secondary outcome [2] 413325 0
changes in urinary glucose excretion.
Timepoint [2] 413325 0
at 24 hours, day 7 and day 14 post treatment commencement.
Secondary outcome [3] 413326 0
changes in urinary uric acid excretion
Timepoint [3] 413326 0
at 24 hours, day 7 and day 14 post treatment commencement.
Secondary outcome [4] 415077 0
changes in Blood pressure as a marker of cardiac function, measured using sphygmomanometer - average of 3 recording over 15 minutes in a seated position.
Timepoint [4] 415077 0
at 24 hours, day 7 and day 14 post treatment commencement.

Summary
Brief summary
This pilot study aims to have a better understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of two oral doses of empagliflozin and the drug's effect on glucose and sodium clearance as well as kidney function, blood pressure and cardiac function as assessed by echocardiography in those with among Stage 4 non diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD).
