Could a common diabetes drug stop diabetes after kidney transplant?
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dapagliflozin (Forxiga)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to prevent diabetes after kidney transplant, helping patients avoid a lifelong condition and protecting their new kidney.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial with 184 participants, so results are preliminary. The drug may not reduce diabetes risk or could cause side effects like urinary infections or kidney issues.
