About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for NAFLD - Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men or women aged 19 years or over, under 75 years
  • A person diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver in abdominal ultrasound (abdominal ultrasound can be substituted if there is a diagnosis of fatty liver through ultrasound within 1 year), or a person diagnosed with fatty liver in abdominal ultrasonography through screening because of clinical suspicion of fatty liver
  • Patients who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and who are treated with oral medication, excluding TZD or SGLT2i drug users within the last 12 weeks
  • Those who have voluntarily agreed in written form to participate in the clinical trial after hearing the explanation of this clinical trial
  • Those who understand the content of the clinical trial and are able to participate in the trial until the end of the clinical trial

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diabetic patients other than type 2 diabetes, including type 1 diabetes and gestational diabetes
  • Type 2 diabetic patients undergoing insulin therapy
  • Patients who have taken TZD or SGLT2i drugs within the last 12 weeks or have had a history of severe side effects after taking the above drugs
  • Patients with acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis with or without coma, and those with a history of ketone phosphatemia (within 6 months)
  • Patients who meet the criteria for alcoholic liver disease (210 g / week for men in the last two years, 140 g / week for women)
  • People who take drugs that can cause fatty liver (amiodarone, methotrexate, tamoxifen, valproate, etc.)
  • Allergic or hypersensitive to the drug or its constituents
  • Patients receiving oral or parenteral corticosteroid therapy chronic (within consecutive 14 days) within 8 weeks prior to screening require continual changes in corticosteroid dosage for therapeutic purposes
  • Patients with genetic problems such as galactosemia, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose uptake
  • Malignant tumors that are currently undergoing treatment or progressive
  • Patients with a history of substance abuse or alcohol intoxication within 12 weeks
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Patients with severe infection, pre- and post-operative, and severe trauma
  • Patients with cardiac failure within 6 months (class III to IV in the NYHA classification)
  • Patients with acute cardiovascular disease within 12 weeks (patients with unstable angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery bypass grafting, or coronary intervention)
  • People with renal failure, chronic renal disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 mL / min / 1.73 m2) or those who are difficult to use the medication due to dialysis
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • A person who the examiner considers not eligible for clinical trials

Arm 3

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Pioglitazone monotherapy

Empagliflozin monotherapy

Pioglitazone + Empagliflozin combination therapy

Arm Description

Pioglitazone 15mg 1T daily for 6 months

Empagliflozin 10mg 1T daily for 6 months

Pioglitazone 15mg + Empagliflozin 10mg combination 1T daily for 6 months

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

liver fat change measured by MRI-PDFF in co-localized regions of interest within each of nine liver segments
MRI is used to measure the fat fraction in 9 liver segments, and this test has been reported to be more sensitive than the biopsy-based steatosis grade assessment in confirming liver fat changes in previous studies

Secondary Outcome Measures

Liver fibrosis measured by magnetic resonance elastography
The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: Liver fibrosis measured by magnetic resonance elastography
The changes in lipid profile
The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: The changes in lipid profile including LDL-C, TG, HDL, TC
The changes in liver enzyme
The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: The changes in liver enzyme including ALT, AST, GGT
The changes in glucose metabolism
The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: The changes in glucose metabolism including HOMAIR, fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin
The changes in inflammation status
The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: The changes in inflammation status including CRP, other biomarker

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To investigate the synergic therapeutic effect of thiazolidinediones and SGLT2 inhibitor on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the effect of empagliflozin 10mg, pioglitazone 15mg monotherapy and combination therapy n patients with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver will be compared and analyzed. This study included a total of 60 patients (20 per subgroup) for randomized controlled trials with prospective, open label, randomized, single-institution clinical trials. The drug will be maintained for a total of six months. The primary endpoint is the difference of liver fat change measured by MRI-PDFF in co-localized regions of interest within nine liver segments between three groups.
