Common diabetes drug may shield breast cancer survivors from new health threat

NCT ID NCT06763328

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the diabetes medication metformin to standard healthy lifestyle advice can better prevent or reverse insulin resistance in women who have finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. Researchers want to see if metformin helps normalize blood sugar levels in these survivors, as chemotherapy can increase diabetes risk. The trial will compare metformin plus lifestyle education against lifestyle education alone in 200 participants over 12 months.
