Diabetes drug may calm inflamed arteries in heart patients
NCT ID NCT05427084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether canagliflozin, a diabetes medication, can reduce inflammation in the arteries of people with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease. Researchers will compare the drug to a placebo over 6 months in 16 participants. The main goal is to measure changes in artery inflammation using a special imaging scan.
