Study Details

Brief summary:

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a more severe phenotype than what is seen in youth-onset type 1 diabetes or adult-onset T2D including earlier kidney and cardiovascular disease complications; and prioritizing new treatments, either for standalone use or in combination with other therapies is critical. T2D triggers the release of proinflammatory mediators called cysteinyl leukotrienes leading to damage to the kidneys and blood vessels. This clinical trial will evaluate the effects of montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotriene inhibitor, on kidney and vascular function in AYA with T2D to help direct future diabetes care to limit diabetic kidney and cardiovascular disease complications.
