Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs, BMI 18.5–35, and stable on oral therapy for at least 90 days.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not respond to the combination therapy or who experience intolerable safety issues may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This phase 3 interventional trial explores the safety and efficacy of once-daily GZR33 injections in combination with once-daily Insulin Degludec (Tresiba) in adults with type 2 diabetes not well controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs. Eligible participants are adults 18 years or older with BMI 18.5–35 kg/m2 who have had T2DM for at least 180 days and stable oral therapy for at least 90 days. The study will monitor glycemic outcomes and safety over a defined treatment period. Exclusion criteria include a history of hypersensitivity to study drugs or related components. The lead sponsor is Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals, based in Beijing, with no listed collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may achieve better blood sugar control with a new combination therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with similar insulin-based strategies have shown promise, but this exact combination is being tested in a phase 3 setting.

4. Presence of any diseases that may affect HbA1c testing at screening, such as hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemoglobinopathy, etc., and in the investigator's judgment unsuitable for participation; or blood donation, blood loss \> 400 mL, or blood transfusion within 90 days prior to screening.
5. History of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within 180 days prior to screening.
