Safety and Efficacy of Empagliflozin in Hemodialysis

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

A 12-week, phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of empagliflozin versus placebo among patients initiating hemodialysis (n=60) for the treatment of end-stage kidney disease.
