Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–75 with T2DM, BMI 25–50 kg/m², HbA1c 7.0–10.0% on stable metformin or lifestyle changes.

Probably not a fit

Patients not responding to HM15275 or who do not meet the BMI/HbA1c criteria may not see a benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity will receive HM15275 or placebo for 36 weeks across multiple centers. Participants are stratified by baseline HbA1c and metformin use and receive weekly subcutaneous injections. The trial includes a 4-week screening period, a 36-week treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up. Eligibility requires HbA1c 7.0–10.0%, BMI 25–50 kg/m², and prior stable diabetes management. Key exclusion criteria include type 1 diabetes, recent major cardiovascular events, and uncontrolled hyperglycemia.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, HM15275 could improve glycemic control for adults with T2DM who are not at goal with diet/exercise or metformin alone.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies in similar therapeutic areas have shown signals of glycemic improvement with new agents in addition to metformin, but this exact approach is exploratory in Phase 2.
