Ertugliflozin's Effect on Heart Function in Diabetic Patients After Myocardial Infarction
China476 participantsStarted 2026-07-01
Plain-language summary
This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial evaluates the efficacy of early ertugliflozin initiation (10 mg daily) compared to standard care alone on cardiac function in 476 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study is supported by scientific rationale suggesting potential effects of ertugliflozin on cardiac resident macrophages in the heart after myocardial infarction.The primary objective is to assess the change in NT-proBNP levels from baseline to 26 weeks, while secondary endpoints explore echocardiographic parameters (such as LVEF and LAVi) and metabolic indices including blood ketone levels, HbA1c, and body weight. Eligible participants are randomized in a 1:1 ratio within 72 hours of AMI onset and followed for a total of 30 weeks to monitor both efficacy outcomes and safety events, with a specific focus on serious adverse events like severe hypoglycemia, genital infections, and ketoacidosis.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
