SGLT2 Inhibitors on Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression Via Perivascular Adipose Tissue in Diabetes
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Dapagliflozin (DAPA): Dapagliflozin 10 mg tablet administered orally once daily for 18 months, in addition to standard diabetes and cardiovascular care, to evaluate its effects on coronary atherosclerosis progression mediated by perivascular adipose tissue in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Standard Care (Treatment as Usual): Standard glycemic and cardiovascular management according to clinical guidelines, excluding SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, or DPP-4 inhibitors, for 18 months.
Study summary
This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial to test whether an SGLT2 inhibitor (dapagliflozin), a type of diabetes medication, can slow down or even reverse the progression of coronary atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the coronary arteries) in patients with type 2 diabetes. The effect may be mediated by improving the function of perivascular adipose tissue. A total of 144 adults with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to receive either dapagliflozin plus standard diabetes and cardiovascular care (intervention group) or standard care alone (control group) for 18 months. Serial coronary CT angiography and other assessments will be performed to evaluate changes in coronary plaque volume, CT-derived fractional flow reserve, perivascular fat radiomics score, and various metabolic and inflammatory markers, to determine whether SGLT2 inhibition reduces cardiovascular risk.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Progression of Coronary Plaque Volume and Proportion from Baseline to the 18-Month Follow-Up — Baseline to 18 months
Progression of total plaque volume (TPV) (mm³)from baseline or appearance of new plaques, assessed by coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Includes changes in plaque components (e.g., necrotic core, fibrous cap, calcification)(mm³).
