Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes

Brief summary

The current study aimed to thoroughly compare a thiazolidinedione and an sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor regarding various clinical issues including atherosclerosis. Enavogliflozin is compared to Pioglitazone in the glucose-lowering effects of adding to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes whose HbA1c levels are not controlled by Metformin with or without DPP-4 inhibitors. Additionally, the study will compare changes in other metabolic or cardiovascular risk factors, such as triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), uric acid, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers, between the two drugs.
