Study for People with Type 2 Diabetes who Take Metformin
About 38 million Americans (1 in 10) have diabetes, and about 90-95% of those have Type II Diabetes according to the CDC. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of US adults are overweight or have obesity. Both are significant health issues which affect millions. Are you among those who struggle with weight and glucose control? This research study might be of benefit to you.
The FDA approved the study drug in May 2022 under the indication of improving glucose control in conjunction with diet and exercise for adults with Type II Diabetes. In November 2023, the study drug was approved by the FDA for chronic weight management for overweight adults and adults with obesity, who also have one weight-related condition, in combination with a reduced calorie diet and increase physical activity.
Currently there are no data for dosing of the study drug at higher doses than 15 mg in comparison to a placebo.
