A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group 12 Week Study to Investigate the Effects of Omega-3 Carboxylic Acids and Dapagliflozin on Liver Fat Content in Type 2 Diabetic Patients; EFFECT II
This study is a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 12 week study performed in up to 5 centres in Sweden to assess the effect of Omega-3 carboxylic acids and dapagliflozin on liver fat in patients with Type 2 diabetes with fatty liver (>5.5% as measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI))
Inclusion Criteria: Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures; Men or women ≥40 years and ≤75 years with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venepuncture; Have liver fat content as assessed by MRI >5.5%; Diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes since at least 6 months in accordance with WHO criteria.
Exclusion Criteria: Any condition when MRI is contraindicated such as, but not limited to, having a pacemaker or claustrophobia; Diagnosis or signs of Type 1 diabetes (e.g. history of positive islet antibodies); Creatinine clearance <60 mL/min at screening (Cockcroft-Gault formula).
