Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with type 2 diabetes who have not reached HbA1c goals despite diet, exercise, and stable medication doses for at least three months, who can give informed consent and are not pregnant or breastfeeding, are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with type 1 diabetes, known hypersensitivity to the study compounds, pregnant or lactating individuals, recent clinical trial participants, or those with investigator-determined safety concerns are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 3 interventional trial comparing Piemonte and comparator arms (including empagliflozin and pioglitazone/placebos) in adults with type 2 diabetes who have not reached glycemic targets on diet, exercise, and stable therapy. Eligible participants are randomized to receive Piemonte, Piemonte placebo, empagliflozin or its placebo, or pioglitazone, with regular clinic visits for safety and efficacy monitoring. The study will track glycemic control measures such as HbA1c and monitor adverse events to define the safety profile. The trial is conducted at EMS in Hortolândia, São Paulo, Brazil.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Piemonte could provide an effective and well-tolerated oral option to improve glycemic control for adults with type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin and thiazolidinediones like pioglitazone have established glycemic benefits in prior trials, while the Piemonte combination itself appears to be a newer formulation that has not been widely proven in large Phase 3 publications.
