Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on liver function of patient with NAFLD and T2DM.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Ethical committee approval will be obtained from Ethics committee of Faculty of Pharmacy, Damanhour University.
2. Ethical committee approval will be obtained from Ethics committee of General Organization for Teaching Hospitals and Institutes.
3. About 50 patients who are candidate to detect the hepato-protective effect of Dapagliflozin on non- alcoholic fatty disease, will be recruited from Alexandria Teaching Hospital (EL-Mery), General Organization for Teaching Hospitals and Institutes.
4. All participants should agree to take part in this clinical study and will provide informed consent.
5. Demographic data; age (year), sex (female/male), weight (kg), height (cm), BMI (kg/m2) will be collected.
6. Venous blood samples (5 ml will be collected by a sterile syringe then placed in a suitable sterile tube to be centrifuged, the serum will be reserved and stored at -80°C until the analysis) before, and after receiving medication (Dapagliflozin).
7. Measuring outcome:

1. The biochemical tests will be done on the patients are alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), Low-density lipoproteins (LDL), High-density lipoproteins (HDL), Triglycerides (TG), liver fibrosis score, and complete blood count (CBC).
2. The molecular tests will be done on the patient are soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (Svcam-1), adipocytes (e.g. adiponectin, leptin).
8. The ultrasound screening will be done at first examination.
9. Statistical tests appropriate to the study design will be conducted to evaluate the significance of the results.
10. Results, conclusion, discussion and recommendations will be given.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind clinical trial, will be carried out on 50 patients who are candidate to detect the hepato-protective effect of Dapagliflozin on diabetic type 2 patients with non- alcoholic fatty disease (dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 24 - 48 weeks

-Patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (25 patients each); group (A) for controlled (placebo), and the other group (D) for Dapagliflozin.
