Effects of iGlarLixi Versus iGlar on Liver Fat Content in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Combined With Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Effects of iGlarLixi Versus iGlar on Liver Fat Content in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of a fixed-ratio combination of insulin glargine 100 U/mL plus lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) versus insulin glargine 100 U/mL (iGlar) on liver fat content in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). The study includes a 12-week treatment period.

Lab values

  • 1\. History of excessive alcohol consumption (≥210 g/week for men, ≥140 g/week for women).
    • 2\. Other known causes of chronic liver disease (e.g., viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, hemochromatosis).
    • 3\. Use of medications known to affect liver fat content (e.g., thiazolidinediones, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, systemic corticosteroids) within 3 months prior to screening.
    • 4\. Presence of acute infections or diabetic acute complications (e.g., ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar state) within 2 weeks prior to screening.
    • 5\. History of pancreatitis or elevated amylase/lipase \> 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
    • 6\. Significant liver impairment (ALT or AST \> 3 × ULN). 7. Moderate to severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73m²). 8. Congestive heart failure (NYHA class III-IV). 9. Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2).
    • 10\. Severe gastrointestinal disease. 11. Contraindications to MRI examination. 12. Pregnancy or lactation. 13. Participation in another investigational drug study within 6 months prior to enrollment.
    • 14\. Known hypersensitivity to the study drugs or their excipients.

Who the study is looking for

  • Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
  • Diagnosis of MASLD with liver fat content defined by MRI-PDFF ≥ 10%.
  • HbA1c ≥ 9.0% at screening.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25.0 and 35.0 kg/m², with stable weight (change \< 10% in the past 3 months).
  • Stable antidiabetic regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening.
