New study aims to spot hidden danger in diabetes drug overdoses
NCT ID NCT07193069
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines patients in intensive care who have overdosed on metformin, a common diabetes drug. Researchers will compare those who took only metformin with those who also took dapagliflozin, another diabetes medication. The goal is to find specific signs that could help doctors quickly recognize a dapagliflozin overdose and improve treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dapagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors quickly identify a dapagliflozin overdose in patients with metformin poisoning, leading to better care in the ICU.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is not testing a new treatment, only looking for patterns.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who were admitted to intensive care units across multiple centers for acute drug poisoning involving metformin, with or without dapagliflozin. Participants will be identified retrospectively through case collection from the SRLF (Société de Réanimation de Langue Française) and existing hospital records over the past 10 years. The study will include both cases of isolated metformin overdose and cases of combined metformin and dapagliflozin overdose.
