Could a diabetes drug duo protect transplanted kidneys?

NCT ID NCT05938712

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether a 12-week combination of two common diabetes drugs—dapagliflozin (Farxiga) and semaglutide (Ozempic)—is safe and helpful for people who have received a kidney transplant. The 20 participants will take both drugs and be monitored for changes in kidney function and other health markers. The goal is to see if this combo can improve outcomes for transplant recipients, with or without type 2 diabetes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dapagliflozin (Farxiga) and semaglutide (Ozempic)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to protect kidney function and manage weight or blood sugar in kidney transplant recipients.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs also carry risks like dehydration or gastrointestinal side effects.
