Impact of Antiglycemic & Immunosuppressive Therapies on NETosis in Diabetes & Kidney Disease (NETs - Neutrophil Traps)
Sponsor: Western Galilee Hospital-Nahariya
Summary
This study aims to investigate whether new glucose-lowering medications, such as SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., Forxiga/Jardiance) and GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Ozempic), can reduce NETosis in diabetic patients, thereby mitigating secondary complications such as cardiovascular disease and kidney damage. By targeting dysregulated NET formation, the study seeks to establish a link between reduced NETosis and improved clinical outcomes in diabetes. Additionally, the study will evaluate the effects of immunosuppressive therapies on NETosis in patients with immune-mediated kidney diseases, such as ANCA-associated vasculitis. By correlating NETosis activity with disease progression and treatment response, this research will assess whether reducing NETosis contributes to better management of inflammation and secondary morbidity in these conditions. Through these evaluations, the study aims to identify potential therapeutic strategies to improve outcomes in both diabetic and chronic kidney disease populations.
