About this study

Official title: Effects of Sodium-glucose Co-transporter-2 Inhibitors on the Cognitive Function in Type 2 Diabetic Patient

Type 2 diabetes is associated with diabetic cognopathy, the prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease(AD) in T2DM patients is 1.5 to 2.5 times higher than the general population. Cognitive impairment seriously affects the health and quality of life of the elderly. Prevention and treatment measures for cognitive decline in persons with T2DM has not been well studied.

Sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, which lower serum glucose by inhibiting SGLT2-mediated glucose reabsorption in renal proximal tubules, could be neuroprotective. It was recently reported that the SGLT-2 inhibitor improved cognitive function and ameliorated oxidative stress via attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, and apoptosis in mice or HFD-induced obese rats, that means SGLT-2 inhibitor may provide neuroprotection in the diabetic brain. Hence, Invokana (Canagliflozin) might act as a potent dual inhibitor of AChE and SGLT2. Since the development of diabetes is associated with AD, the design of new AChE inhibitors based on antidiabetic drug scaffolds would be particularly beneficial. Moreover, the present computational study reveals that Invokana (Canagliflozin) is expected to form the basis of a future dual therapy against diabetes associated neurological disorders.

The overall goal of this study is to explore the effects of SGLT2 inhibitor on the cognitive function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and make further contribution to the improvement of cognitive function.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Canagliflozin and Sitagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Cognitive Functions Confusion, run by Third Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of cognitive function assessed by cognitive function scale (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2024.
