Effects of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) Versus Dapagliflozin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled with Metformin

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06415773
Lead Sponsor
HighTide Biopharma Pty Ltd
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) compared to dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin alone.

Detailed Description

This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 compared to dapagliflozin after 24 weeks of treatment. All patients will remain on a stable dose of metformin throughout the study.

To ensure stabilization of glycemic control, eligible patients will first participate in a 4-week single-blind run-in period where investigators will provide guidance on lifestyle modification, concomitant medications, and procedures for self-monitoring of blood glucose. Following this period, patient eligibility will be reassessed. Eligible patients will then be randomized 1:1 to receive HTD1801 1000 mg BID or dapagliflozin 10 mg QD.
