SADIE2 Trial Summary
This trial will study if an anti-diabetes drug can reduce inflammation in obese people, which could help prevent heart disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with metabolic syndrome, defined by high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high fasting blood sugar or large waist circumference. Participants must have a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 and be planning obesity surgery within the next 90-150 days. Exclusions include alcohol/drug abuse history, pregnancy/breastfeeding without contraception, type 1 diabetes or recent SGLT2 inhibitor use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether Empagliflozin (a drug that lowers blood sugar) can reduce inflammation in fat tissue and improve heart-related functions in obese patients. It's a randomized controlled trial where participants will either receive Empagliflozin or a placebo to compare effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Empagliflozin may include genital infections in men and women, urinary tract infections, dehydration symptoms like hypotension (low blood pressure), ketoacidosis (high levels of acid in the blood), and possible allergic reactions.

Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Empagliflozin ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Empagliflozin is an FDA-approved SGLT2 inhibitor used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with off-label use for diabetic kidney disease and for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction even in those without diabetes. To ensure blinding, empagliflozin will be over-encapsulated in identical gelatin capsules as placebo.
Group II: Placebo ArmPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Placebo consists of gelatin capsules.
