About this study

Since the discovery of SGLT2 inhibitors, there is a great shift in diabetic treatment, so this drug is magic, this drug can reduce the blood sugar level by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and increasing glucose excretion the first discovery by Josef von Mering who discovered the glucosuric effect of phlorizin. Phlorizin is the progenitor of contemporary SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA did not consider the work of Baron Josef von Mering, since he had already discovered acidosis following the administration of phlorizin in 1888.

Now SGLT2 inhibitors are used widely and even for heart failure without diabetes as this drug is useful and with lower risk of death from observational studies The 2008 FDA guidance had a major impact on the cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of recently approved antidiabetic drugs, many trials were done on SGLT2 inhibitors like the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, the CANVAS trial program, MACE these groups have CVS benefits and also renal benefits as regards, we suspect long-term benefits and immunity aspect these groups play an important role in cancer incidence from meta-analysis and systematic review, suggests that SGLT2 inhibition results in a reduction of inflammatory markers like interleukin-6 in animal models, further validating the suggested anti-inflammatory mechanism of action.

Read the detailed description

The map of treatment of diabetes and obesity was changed dramatically and newer drugs were discovered in the last 10 years for improving the quality of patients and prevent complications and cardiovascular and renal benefits from SGLT2 inhibitors In our study, we will discuss the risk of cancer among diabetics on SGLT2 inhibitors and measurement of inflammatory factors like CRP and interleukin -6 alongside the other investigations the study included 200 adults patients with type 2 diabetes on SGLT2 inhibitors and follow up these patients for one year for the inflammatory factors and risk of cancer among them and this study include patients from 18 years to 70 years having diabetes type 2 male or female, smoker or not smokers, non-diabetic ketoacidosis

Being tested
interleukin 6

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reducing the risk of cancer among Diabetics with SGLT2 inhibitors (time frame: 9 month after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
