Evaluation of Changes in Pancreatic Fat Content Using Advanced MR Sequences in Diabetics on Dapagliflozin Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aimed to assess changes in pancreatic fat content in people with diabetes on dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) and beta cell function.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The study assessed and estimated the difference in pancreatic fat content in the patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at baseline and after taking dapagliflozin for 24 weeks.
The investigators even estimated the correlation between two advanced MR techniques commonly used for quantification of pancreatic fat (PDFF and MR Spectroscopy)

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Placebo group Only the standard drugs for type 2 diabetes were given. Dapagliflozin was not given in this group. |
|
Active Comparator: Dapagliflozin group The patients were given standard drugs for type 2 diabetes and Dapagliflozin. |
Drug: Dapagliflozin 10mg Tab
Dapagliflozin was given at a dose of 10 mg/day in one group and its effect was observed on the pancreatic fat content

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To assess and estimate the difference in pancreatic fat content in the patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at baseline and after taking dapagliflozin for 24 weeks [24 weeks]
The pancreatic fat percentage will be measured by MRI sequences at baseline and at 24 weeks and a change will be compared
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To estimate the correlation between two advanced MR techniques commonly used for quantification of pancreatic fat(PDFF and MR Spectroscopy) [24 weeks]
The pancreatic fat percentage will be measured by MRI sequences at baseline and at 24 weeks and a correlation will be assessed
