Effect of Henagliflozein on Hepatic Fat Content in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
This study focuses on the effects of Henagliflozein on hepatic fat content in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Sponsored by Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, this study is a multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial, aiming at exploring the difference in the reduction of liver fat content in the subjects compared with the control group after 24 weeks of treatment. Subjects from different medical centers diagnosed with T2DM and NAFLD will be randomly assigned to the treatment or control group in a 1:1 ratio, and subsequently initiate the intervention period of 24 weeks. In this trial, patients will be treated with 10 mg of Henagliflozein + metformin and 5 mg of Linagliptin + metformin as control, and the dose of metformin will be customized at 500-1500mg according to their individual blood glucose level. The check-points are set at the 8th, 16th and 24th week of the follow-up after the treatment, and nutritionists are available to provide dietary and exercise guidance.
• Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within 5 years (According to the diagnostic criteria of WHO Diabetes Classification 2019)
• Patients who are aware of the purpose of the trail, willing to participate in the trial and sign informed consent forms, and comply with all requirements (including those during follow-up and evaluation investigations)
• Well-controlled blood glucose through diet and exercise intervention, or stable treatment with 1 or 2 types of hypoglycemic drugs (metformin, sulfonylurea, glinide, α-glycosidase inhibitor ) for at least 8 weeks with a half or full recommended maximum tolerated dose in instructions.
• HbA1c: 7.0%-8.5%
• Patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (According to the diagnostic criteria of Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease 2010)
