NCT04877366

Brief Summary

This is a mechanistic, single-center, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, three-time-period, crossover study to evaluate the effect of sprinkled format REDUCOSE compared to placebo (double-blind; confirmative) and active control (open-label; acarbose - explorative) on post prandial glycemia in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes.
