Activation of Autophagy and Suppression of Apoptosis by Dapagliflozin Attenuates Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are described as complex, recurrent inflammatory conditions which are manifested as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The common symptoms of IBD include debilitating/severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and chronic fatigue; events that may culminate in life-threatening complications. The pathogenesis of IBD has been characterized as complex/multi-factorial that includes disruption of intestinal epithelial barrier with consequent translocation of commensal microbial products as the prime event that instigates severe immune responses and intestinal inflammation.

Active Comparator: control group Control group ( Mesalamine group, n =30 ) who will receive 1 g mesalamine three times daily for 6 months |
Drug: Mesalamine
Mesalamine, also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), is a medication used to treat ulcerative colitis. It is usually used to induce or maintain remission of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis

Active Comparator: Dapagliflozin group Patients will receive 1 g mesalamine three times daily plus dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 6 months |
Drug: Mesalamine
Mesalamine, also known as 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), is a medication used to treat ulcerative colitis. It is usually used to induce or maintain remission of mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis
Drug: Dapagliflozin 10mg Tab
Dapagliflozin has emerged as a selective SGLT2 inhibitor for the management of type-2 diabetes mellitus with minimal risk of hypoglycemia and it exerts diuretic-like actions and lowering of blood pressure, thereby, reducing the risk of hospitalization in type-2 diabetic patients with co-existing heart failure

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary endpoint is the change in mayo score [6 months]
The Mayo score is one of the most commonly used disease activity indices in placebo-controlled trials in UC. In its complete form, it is composed of four parts: rectal bleeding, stool frequency, physician assessment, and endoscopy appearance
