Frequently asked questions about DAPA/MET

What is DAPA/MET used for?

DAPA/MET is used for diabetes prevention in women after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who are at high risk. It is being studied in overweight or obese women with a history of GDM to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. The drug is a combination of dapagliflozin and metformin.

Who makes DAPA/MET?

DAPA/MET is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in preventing diabetes in high-risk women with a history of gestational diabetes.

What phase is DAPA/MET in?

DAPA/MET is in Phase 3 clinical development. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. It is currently being evaluated in a completed Phase 3 trial for diabetes prevention in women after gestational diabetes who are at high risk.

What clinical trials is DAPA/MET in?

DAPA/MET is being studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial with the identifier NCT02338193. The trial, titled 'Dapagliflozin and Metformin, Alone and in Combination, in Overweight/Obese Prior GDM Women,' has been completed. It enrolled 69 participants in the United States, all female, aged 18 years and older.

How does DAPA/MET work?

DAPA/MET combines dapagliflozin and metformin. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing glucose excretion. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they target multiple pathways to lower blood glucose and potentially prevent diabetes.

Is DAPA/MET the same as dapagliflozin and metformin?

DAPA/MET is a combination of dapagliflozin and metformin, two established diabetes medications. The drug name reflects this combination. In clinical trials, it is being studied alone and in combination to assess its effectiveness in preventing diabetes in high-risk women with a history of gestational diabetes.
