What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in a clinical setting. It will also evaluate the effectiveness of a combination therapy using dapagliflozin and pioglitazone. The study will involve patients who are scheduled to receive this fixed-dose combination therapy and will collect data on their health outcomes. Participants will provide informed consent before joining the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes at risk of NAFLD.

How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research into the effects of dapagliflozin and pioglitazone, this specific combination therapy for NAFLD risk assessment in type 2 diabetes is relatively novel.
