Summary

This study compares a combination diabetes drug (iGlarLixi) against insulin alone to see which better reduces liver fat in people with type 2 diabetes and a common fatty liver condition called MASLD. About 36 participants will take one of the two treatments for 12 weeks, and doctors will measure liver fat using MRI scans. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage both blood sugar and liver health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
iGlarLixi (a combination of insulin glargine and lixisenatide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that iGlarLixi is a better option than insulin alone for reducing liver fat in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is also open-label, meaning both patients and doctors know which treatment is given, which can introduce bias.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. 2. Diagnosis of MASLD with liver fat content defined by MRI-PDFF ≥ 10%. 3. HbA1c ≥ 9.0% at screening. 4. Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25.0 and 35.0 kg/m², with stable weight (change \< 10% in the past 3 months). 5. Stable antidiabetic regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening.

Other known causes of chronic liver disease (e.g., viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, hemochromatosis). 3\. Use of medications known to affect liver fat content (e.g., thiazolidinediones, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, systemic corticosteroids) within 3 months prior to screening. 4\. Presence of acute infections or diabetic acute complications (e.g., ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar state) within 2 weeks prior to screening. 5\. History of pancreatitis or elevated amylase/lipase \> 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). 6\. Significant liver impairment (ALT or AST \> 3 × ULN). 7. Moderate to severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73m²). 8. Congestive heart failure (NYHA class III-IV). 9. Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2). 10\. Severe gastrointestinal disease. 11.
