    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The co-administration of SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist would be safe and effective on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and MAFLD better than empagliflozin or dulaglutide alone. The SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist would be safe and effective on fatty liver disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and MAFLD.
