The first scan will take place before you begin taking semaglutide (referred to as Day 1). The second scan will occur at least 4 months after starting semaglutide. Both scans will use a special 13C pyruvate injection as a contrast agent. These MRI scans should take about 60 to 75 minutes each.\n\nGroup 2: You will undergo two brain MRI scans. The first scan will take place before you begin taking semaglutide (referred to as Day 1). The second scan will occur at least 4 months after starting semaglutide. Both scans will use a special 13C pyruvate injection as a contrast agent. These MRI scans should take about 60 to 75 minutes each.\n\nGroup 3: You will undergo two heart MRI scans. The first scan will be scheduled for a specific date, agreed upon by you and the research team (referred to as Day 1). The second scan will take place at least four months after the initial scan. Both scans will use a special 13C pyruvate injection. These MRI scans should take about 60 to 75 minutes each.\n\nGroup 4: You will undergo two brain MRI scans.

Both scans will use a special 13C pyruvate injection. Each MRI scan should take about 60 to 75 minutes.\n\nAll participants will complete standard cognitive tests within five days prior to each scan, (two assessments in total) to evaluate brain function. Alternatively, these tests may be performed on the day of the scan, prior to the procedure.\n\nBlood samples will be collected before each scan for a total of two samples. Blood samples will be stored in a secure, access-controlled laboratory freezer at Sunnybrook Research Institute. Each sample will be labeled with a unique study code and will not contain any directly identifying information. A master code list linking study codes to participant identifiers will be stored separately in a password-protected file on a secure server, accessible only to the principal investigator and authorized study staff. Upon completion of the study and after the retention period of 15 years, all remaining blood samples will be destroyed in accordance with Sunnybrook Research Institute biosafety procedures to ensure that samples cannot be reused or linked back to participants.\n\nAll clinical procedures will be completed at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC).",[40,46,50,55],{"label":41,"type":42,"description":43,"interventionNames":44},"Group 1.

People with this type of diabetes often have high levels of a substance called lactate in their blood, which might be linked to problems with thinking and heart failure.\n\nA new imaging technique has been developed that can help us see how lactate is being processed in the body. This involves using MRI technology to rapidly look at chemical reactions happening inside cells. This new method uses a special contrast agent that's injected into the body, which produces a much stronger magnetic signal, making it easier to see what's happening inside.\n\nIn this study, we will use this new imaging method with a substance called carbon-13 pyruvate to monitor how it changes in the brain and heart of people with type II diabetes. We will also see how these changes relate to their treatment with a medication called semaglutide.\n\nThis new MRI method has been used to study cancer, the brain and heart in human participants, but not in T2DM patients. The data we collect might help doctors improve the treatment of patients with T2DM, heart failure, dementia, and cognitive problems in the future.\n\nHealth Canada has not approved the use of 13C-enriched pyruvate for use or sale for any condition, although they have allowed its use in this research study.",[94],"Diabete Type 2",[96,97,98,99],"Semaglutide","Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus","MRI","C13 Hyperpolarized pyruvate","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-10",{"date":103,"type":104},"2026-09-15","ACTUAL",{"date":106,"type":88},"2026-10-01",{"date":108,"type":88},"2029-08-01",{"name":5,"class":6}]
