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

Summary

This study tests whether montelukast, a medicine used for asthma, can help protect the kidneys and blood vessels in 50 teens and young adults (ages 14-24) with type 2 diabetes. The drug works by blocking harmful inflammatory chemicals linked to diabetes complications. Researchers will measure changes in kidney blood flow and artery health over 6 months to see if this approach could reduce long-term risks.
