Genetics of Response to Canagliflozin

• Status: Enrolling by invitation
• Trial end date: 2024-06-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Five daily doses of canagliflozin (300 mg) will be administered to healthy volunteers. Pharmacodynamic responses to canagliflozin will be assessed both at 2 days and 6 days after administration of the first dose of canagliflozin. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) will be conducted to search for genetic variants that are associated with each of the pharmacodynamic responses to canagliflozin.
