Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All the patients, fulfilling the inclusion criteria of this study would be offered Dapagliflozin 10 tablet mg once daily per-oral treatment for 12 weeks. This treatment would be given as home self-administered. Compliance would be checked by drug tablet return. 24 hour urinary proteins of these patients would measured at baseline and repeated at 12 weeks interval after treatment with Dapagliflozin.
Intervention code [1] 326684 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Calcium Pantothenate 50 mg per oral tablet once daily for the same duration as intervention group i.e. 12 weeks. This will be home self-administered. Compliance would be checked by drug tablet return. Calcium Pantothenate does not affect the 24 hour urinary protein excretion. 24 hour urinary proteins of the control group would be measured at baseline and at 12 weeks.
Control group
Placebo

Statistical methods / analysis
The data will be analyzed by using standard SPSS software version 23. For continuous data, the mean and standard deviation would be used to describe the distribution, and t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA) would be used to compare differences between two groups. For categorical data, frequency and percentage would be used to describe the distribution, and chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests would be used to compare differences between two groups. A P-value less than 0.05 would indicate statistical significance.

Summary
Brief summary
To assess the effect of Dapagliflozin 10 mg on proteinuria in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Although extensively studied internationally, to the best of our knowledge no local study in Pakistan has been conducted to see the effect of Dapagliflozin on proteinuria in Pakistani type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, we aim to study the above.
In this study a total sample size would be 516 patients with diabetes mellitus and proteinuria. The sample size is calculated with the help of OpenEpi sample size calculator, with confidence level (1-a) equal to 95%., power of test of 80% and previously calculated at least 30% reduction of albuminuria of 49.7 % with Dapagliflozin and 37.4 % with Placebo ( Heerspink HJ, Johnsson E, Gause-Nilsson I, Cain VA, Sjöström CD. Dapagliflozin reduces albuminuria in patients with diabetes and hypertension receiving renin-angiotensin blockers. Diabetes Obes Metab. 2016 Jun;18(6):590-7. doi: 10.1111/dom.12654. PMID: 26936519; PMCID: PMC4850750.)
All the patients, fulfilling the inclusion criteria of this study would be offered Dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily treatment in the intervention arm and placebo in the control arm after permuted block randomization. 24 hour urinary proteins of these patients would be repeated at 12 weeks interval after treatment with either Dapagliflozin or Placebo. Body weight of all the study participants would be measured at baseline and at 12 weeks. Urinary Tract Infections and Genital Mycotic infections would be seen at baseline and after 12 weeks of in both the intervention and control group.
