Massive study investigates sex differences in popular Heart-Kidney drugs
NCT ID NCT07188545
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at millions of medical records to see if GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic) and SGLT2 inhibitors (like Jardiance) affect heart, kidney, and metabolic health differently in men versus women. Participants are adults with early-stage cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome who have taken these drugs. The goal is to find out if sex influences treatment outcomes, which could lead to more personalized care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide) and SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., empagliflozin)
- What this could lead to
- If it succeeds, this could show whether these drugs need to be tailored by sex for better heart, kidney, and metabolic health.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing data, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by unmeasured factors.

Who is studied
The data for this study comes from claims and electronic health records data sources. MarketScan and All of Us are nationally representative databases, and therefore contain patients from all over the US. LifeScale is a local database from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) and contains patients who seek care at OSUWMC inpatient and outpatient facilities. Adult patients included in the study have evidence of CKMS stage 1 or 2, ≥1 prescription for a GLP-1RA, SGLT2i, DPP4i, or obesity medication, and at least 180 days of continuous database enrollment prior to the first prescription for any medication of interest. Patients will be excluded if they have evidence of stage 3 or 4 CKMS, cancer, renal replacement therapy, end stage renal disease, or solid organ transplant during the baseline period (180 days prior to index date), any history of type I diabetes, or missing sex information. These study criteria will be applied to each of the sources of secondary data to co
