NCT05513729

Brief Summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is always accompanied with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).This prospective study was designed to reveal the potential clinical application and underlying mechanisms of canagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes combined with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Study Arms (2)

Canagliflozin treatment group

40 patients with T2DM combined with NAFLD will be assigned to receive canagliflozin on top of metformin monotherapy according to clinical guideline of type 2 diabetes as experimental group.

Drug: Canagliflozin

Pioglitazone treatment group

40 patients with T2DM combined with NAFLD will be assigned to receive pioglitazone on top of metformin monotherapy according to clinical guideline of type 2 diabetes as experimental group. as placebo comparator group.

Drug: Pioglitazone

Interventions

According to the guideline of type 2 diabetes,canagliflozin will be given to 40 patients with type 2 diabetes combined with NAFLD as first-line choice if accompanied with indicators of high risk or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease or heart failure, independently of HbA1c level. It can be also given to T2DM combined with NAFLD if their HbA1c above target.

Also known as: Canagliflozin tablets
Canagliflozin treatment group

According to the newest guideline of Diabetes,pioglitazone will be given to 40 patients with T2DM combined with NAFLD if their HbA1c above target.
