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.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. liver fat change measured by MRI-PDFF in co-localized regions of interest within each of nine liver segments [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    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 :
  1. Liver fibrosis measured by magnetic resonance elastography [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    The secondary endpoint is to analyze the changes before and after drug administration for the following items: Liver fibrosis measured by magnetic resonance elastography

  2. The changes in lipid profile [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    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

  3. The changes in liver enzyme [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    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

  4. The changes in glucose metabolism [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    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

  5. The changes in inflammation status [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    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
