Study summary

This study evaluates the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin) on the blood glucose excursions by a continuous glucose monitoring system, the incidence of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level in people had bariatric surgery with and without type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Dapagliflozin is a highly selective sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, an approved drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It leads to urinary glucose excretion and a reduction of weight. This results in a reduction of both fasting and postprandial glucose levels. This is reported that the treatment of type 2 diabetes with dapagliflozin carries a low risk of hypoglycaemia and have a beneficial effect on weight and blood pressure.

This study hypothesized that bariatric surgery is effective for weight loss. But some patients experience large changes in the blood glucose after meals that lead to hyper and hypoglycaemia and weight regain. This study propose that the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors, which lower glucose and body weight by promoting its renal excretion, will reduce glucose variability in patients after bariatric surgery.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. People diagnosed with type 2 diabetes prior to bariatric surgery.
  2. People did not have diabetes prior to bariatric surgery.
  3. Willing to participate in this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Type 1 diabetes
  2. Secondary diabetes
  3. History of ketoacidosis
  4. History of pancreatitis and pancreatectomy.
  5. History of primary renal glycosuria or hereditary glucose-galactose malabsorption.

  7. abnormal liver function test.
  8. Pregnant ladies, or intending pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  9. Patients using insulin therapy or a sulfonylurea.
  10. Uncontrolled hypertension.
  11. Uncontrolled thyroid disease.
  12. Any history of serious hypertension reaction to the dapagliflozin or SGLT-2 inhibitor.
  13. History of within 5-year of screening.
  14. Presence of any other medical condition that would in the opinion of the investigator, preclude safe participation in the study.
  15. >10.5
  16. Unable to sign the consent form.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2019 to primary completion in May 2021, 18 months.

Of 99 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 50. This study's 18 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 293 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 27.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
