Common diabetes drugs tested to stop mouth lesions from becoming cancer

NCT ID NCT05727761

Summary

This study is testing whether a combination of two existing diabetes medications (pioglitazone and metformin) can shrink or eliminate high-risk white or red patches in the mouth (oral leukoplakia). These patches can sometimes develop into oral cancer. The goal is to see if a 12-week course of these pills can reduce the size and severity of these lesions in participants.
