Authors' conclusion

Tofogliflozin was not associated with improved inhibition of carotid wall thickening but exerted long-term positive effects on various cardiovascular risk factors and baPWV while showing a good safety profile.

Tofogliflozin significantly improved HbA1c and HDL-C levels, BMI, abdominal circumference and systolic blood pressure vs conventional treatment

Safety

Frequencies of total and serious adverse events did not vary significantly between the groups
