Protocol summary

Study aim
investigating the effect of empagliflozin on non-alcoholic fatty liver in type 2 diabetic patients referred to Loghman Hakim Hospital in 1400
Design
Sampling method: The non-probability sampling method will be targeted. In this way, random method is not used in selecting patients in each group, but from the available patients, patients in each group will be selected based on the researcher's judgment up to the specified volume (70 people in each group) according to the purpose of the study.
Settings and conduct
The present study, after obtaining permission from the ethics committee of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and the consent of the head of the internal department of Loghman Hakim Hospital, will be conducted as a clinical trial on 140 type 2 diabetic patients referred to the endocrine / diabetes / gastrointestinal clinic in 1400. Patients are equally divided into control and treatment groups. In the treatment group, in addition to the standard treatment, they will receive 10 mg of Empagliflozin daily for 6 months. In the control group, patients received only standard treatment and did not receive Empagliflozin.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with type 2 diabetes in the age group of 20 to 70 years who are candidates for treatment with Empagliflozin. No history of Empagliflozin use -GFR> 35ml / min / 1.73mn2 -HbA1c≤7.5%
Intervention groups
Patients with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver treated with empagliflozin and placeo
Main outcome variables
Practical goals: 1.determining the level of insilin level,alt,ast,alkp,GGT,billi,FBS,HbA1c before and 3 and 6 months after the start of treatment 2.determining the degree of fatty liver by U.S and MRI before and 3 and 6 months after start if treatment 3.determining weigt and BMI before and 3 and 6 months after start of teratment

General information

Reason for update
Due to the spread of corona virus and lack of regular visits of patients to the clinic and the lack of a trend to treat diabetes with pioglitazone,the control group was tested with a placebo drug instead of pioglitazone,which did not contain empagliflozin and was prepared by a pharmaceutical company and available to type 2 diabetes patients with non alcoholics fatty liver who were under standard diabetes treatment.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be simple and for each patient according to labeling initial amounts of the placebo (control group) and Empagliflozine(treatment group),using a randomizednumber chart.these same numbers will be written and sealed,and placed in a box for allocation concealment.The course of treatment for each patient will be selected by choosing the random numbers concealed in the box at the beginning of the study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study,blinding will e done for the patients as well aspart of the researchers who have the role of clinical caregivers and outcome assessors by coding packages containing empagliflozin and placebo which are apparently the same.Then these codes will be the number of patients in one envelope,will be cast and chosen randomaly.
