Study Summary

This trial is a study to see if two drugs are effective and safe for use in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adolescents aged 10 to under 18 with Type 2 Diabetes, already taking metformin, insulin, or both. They must have a stable blood sugar level as indicated by an HbA1c between 6.5% and 10.5%. Girls who can have babies must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use birth control during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests dapagliflozin and saxagliptin—drugs approved for adults but not yet for kids—to see if they safely lower blood sugar in young patients compared to a placebo. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor doctors know who gets which treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include dehydration due to increased urination from dapagliflozin, low risk of urinary infections, possible allergic reactions, or skin sensitivity. Saxagliptin could cause joint pain or swelling and might affect liver enzymes.
