Elecoglipron plus background insulin in adults with type 2 diabetes
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Elecoglipron Compared With Placebo in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Background Insulin (Eluminate-3)
Run by AstraZeneca · NCT07664553 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether adding Elecoglipron to existing insulin therapy helps adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better than a placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with type 2 diabetes on background insulin and other glucose-lowering medications, HbA1c 7%–10.5%, BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2, and stable weight for 90 days.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with type 1 diabetes, certain acute or chronic GI or pancreatic conditions, or recent severe hypoglycemia may not benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3 trial compares Elecoglipron to placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes who are already on background insulin and other glucose-lowering medications. Eligible participants have an HbA1c between 7% and 10.5% and BMI of at least 23 kg/m2, with stable weight and treatment. The study assesses efficacy, safety, and tolerability over a defined treatment period. Key exclusions include type 1 diabetes, history of certain diabetes complications, and significant GI or pancreatic conditions. The trial is led by AstraZeneca with sites in Little Rock, Sacramento, and Aurora.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Elecoglipron could improve blood sugar control for people with type 2 diabetes already using insulin.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with similar glucose-lowering approaches have shown potential improvements in glycemic control, though results vary by population and regimen.
