Recruiting PHASE4 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

New treatment option for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Official title The Effects of Henagliflozin on Glucose Fluctuation and Immunosenescence in Type 2 Diabetes Patients on Insulin Therapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06818851

What this study is testing

What is Henggliflozin?

Henggliflozin is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for diabetes mellitus, type 2.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if SGLT2 inhibitor Henggliflozin works to improve glucose variability in type 2 diabetes and if Henggliflozin can benefit immunosenescence. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does Henggliflozin as an add on treatment works to improve blood glucose fluctuation in type 2 diabetes?
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
  • Time commitment: about 16 weeks
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
