NCT ID NCT07682350
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether taking dapagliflozin (Forxiga) for 12 months can prevent post-transplant diabetes in kidney transplant recipients who do not have diabetes. The study includes 184 adults who recently received a kidney transplant and are on standard immunosuppressive therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either dapagliflozin or a placebo, and researchers monitor diabetes development, kidney function, and safety over a year.
