Abstract
Introduction: Prediabetes is a state of subclinical glycemic impairment, bridging normal glucose tolerance and diabetes. Globally, over 30% of individuals exhibit prediabetic conditions, with a significant proportion progressing to diabetes. Prediabetes augments risks of various diseases including cardiovascular and kidney disease. While interventions like lifestyle changes have shown promise in diabetes prevention, their long-term sustainability is challenging. Alternative pharmacological treatments, such as acarbose and metformin, have demonstrated efficacy in certain populations. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors, a novel class of glucose-lowering agents, have shown potential benefits for heart and kidney health in patients with diabetes. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dapagliflozin in individuals with prediabetes, elucidating its potential role in diabetes prevention strategies.
Research design and methods: This prospective trial is being conducted at Peking University Third Hospital. A total of 240 participants with prediabetes will be enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: one receiving dapagliflozin (10 mg/day) with lifestyle education, and the other with lifestyle education alone over a 12-week duration (with male/female = 1:1 in each group). Anthropometric, clinical and laboratory tests, including body mass index, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, insulin, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, sperm quality, will be conducted at the onset and conclusion of the trial. For adherence monitoring, participants will receive phone follow-ups at week 4 and week 8. The primary outcome is the change in 2-h plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test over the study duration. Secondary outcomes encompass changes in various health metrics, including body mass index, lipid profiles, and liver function.
Planned outcomes: The proposed study is set to refine diabetes prevention strategies on the basis of its potential benefits observed in patients with diabetes.
Conclusions: This will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors compared with lifestyle education for individuals with prediabetes.
Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05914857 (registered 24 July 2023).
期刊介绍：
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
