Can a Dual-Action diabetes drug prevent dangerous clots?
NCT ID NCT06618976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor, reduces blood clot formation better than empagliflozin, a standard SGLT2 inhibitor. Seventeen healthy volunteers took each drug for one month in a crossover design. Researchers measured clot size and platelet activity in the lab to see if sotagliflozin offers extra protection against thrombosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sotagliflozin and Empagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If sotagliflozin reduces clot formation more than empagliflozin, it could point toward a safer treatment option for heart patients at risk of blood clots.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study in 17 healthy people, not patients, so results may not apply to real-world heart disease. It only measured lab markers of clotting, not actual heart attacks or strokes.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are eligible if they meet all of the following criteria: * Male or female volunteers older than 18 years old. * Disease-free as assessed by medical history and physical examination. * Ability to provide signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria: Subjects will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria: * Pregnant or lactating women * History of clinically relevant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, gastrointestinal, renal, metabolic, hematologic, neurologic, respiratory or psychiatric disease, bleeding, acute infectious disease or signs of acute illness. * Use of medication within one month prior to study drug administration or within six times the elimination half-life (whichever is longer), except for oral contraceptives or occasional use of acetaminophen or an antihistamine. * History of drug abuse or alcohol consumption \>20 g/day \[125 ml (30ml=1oz) glass of 10% wine = 12.5 g, 40 mL aperitif of 40% = 17 g, 250 mL glass of 6% beer = 15g\] * Loss of \>400 mL blood or blood donation within 3 months. * Conditions associated with hemorrhagic risk, e.g., frequent epistaxis, gastrointestinal ulcer, hemorrhagic vascular lesions, recent surgery.
