NCT07139405

Brief Summary

This Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of TriGlytza®-01 compared with metformin in adults with Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled despite metformin therapy. Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups and treated for 16 weeks. Safety, glycaemic control, body weight, and other metabolic outcomes will be assessed
