Brief Summary

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

We compared the cardioprotective effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, with those of vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, focusing on various inflammatory biomarkers lipid profile, and cardiac function, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed Description

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

This was a prospective, randomized, double-dummy, parallel-group trial that enrolled 120 patients with T2DM. The patients were randomized 1: 1 for 6 months administration of empagliflozin or vildagliptin. by using consecutive ascending randomization numbers in the treatment blocks allocated to each study site. The randomization was stratified by the presence or absence of statin and oral antidiabetic therapy. The randomization list was produced using an automated random number generator.

Clinical parameters, assessment of atrial myocardial function, LVEF%, LA diameter, glycemic and lipid profile, adiponectin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and Sortilin levels will be determined at baseline and after the 6 months of treatment period.

Patient compliance was evaluated by the counting of pills by a physician at selected time-points. In addition, patients were provided with individual diary cards to record administration of the study medication on a daily basis. These cards were checked regularly by site staff.

The study will be approved by the local ethics committee and was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its amendments. All included patients provided written informed consent.
