NCT ID NCT07120828

First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This completed study looked at how two diabetes drugs (dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) affect body weight, cholesterol, and certain genes in 260 obese people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Over six months, researchers measured changes in metabolism, inflammation, and a gene called CYP8B1 that helps process bile acids. The goal was to better understand the broader health benefits of these medications beyond blood sugar control.
