HDM1005 for adults with Type 2 diabetes not controlled by diet/exercise or metformin
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo and Active Comparator-controlled Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HDM1005 in Subjects With T2DM With Inadequate Glycemic Control After Diet/Exercise or Metformin Therapy
Run by Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07109700 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test different doses of HDM1005 versus placebo and dulaglutide in adults with Type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar isn't controlled by diet/exercise or metformin.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with type 2 diabetes for at least 24 weeks, HbA1c between 7.5% and 10.5%, BMI 22.5–40 kg/m2, and inadequate glycemic control on diet/exercise or metformin are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People with type 1 diabetes, recent severe hypoglycemia, history of pancreatitis, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2, or those already well controlled on other therapies are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.

What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind, parallel-group Phase 2 trial will enroll 216 adults with T2DM and stratify them by baseline HbA1c and prior metformin use. Participants are randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to four HDM1005 dose arms (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 mg), placebo, or open-label dulaglutide 1.5 mg, with dose titration planned for the 1.0–3.0 mg cohorts. The study will measure efficacy, safety, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics, using changes in HbA1c and safety outcomes to compare arms. Approximately 36 subjects per arm support dose-ranging decisions and comparison to an established active comparator.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, HDM1005 could lower HbA1c and provide an additional treatment option for people whose diabetes is not controlled with diet/exercise or metformin.
How similar studies have gone: Dulaglutide and other GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown consistent HbA1c and weight benefits in prior trials, so this placebo- and active-controlled dose-ranging design follows an established precedent.
