Evaluation of Fuling Yunhua Granules and Dihuang Baoyuan Granules in Drug Naive Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Phase 2

Recruiting

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Diabetes; Type2diabetes
• Interventions: Drug: Dihuang Baoyuan Granules matched placebo; Drug: Fuling Yunhua Granules matched placebo; Drug: Fuling Yunhua Granules; Drug: Dihuang Baoyuan Granules

• Registration Number: NCT06575478
• Lead Sponsor: Beijing Supreme Life Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.

Brief Summary

The goal of this investigator-initiated clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of sequential therapy of Fuling Yunhua Granules (prescription A) and Dihuang Baoyuan Granule (prescription B) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes patients with poor glycemic control after diet and exercise intervention.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, including a up to 2-week screening period, a 1-week baseline period, a 12-week treatment period and a 1-week follow-up period.

72 participants who meet the enrollment requirements will enter the baseline period, during which 7 days of CGM data will be collected. After entering the treatment period, participants will be randomly assigned to prescription ABA group, prescription ABA-matched placebo group, prescription BAB group and prescription BAB-matched placebo group in a ratio of 2:1:2:1 and receive corresponding treatment.

It is expected that an interim analysis will be conducted after 30 participants have completed 4 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of their data is obtained. Based on the CGM data of the participants in the 4th week of treatment, the change of TIR in the 4th week compared with the baseline will be analyzed, and the IDMC will make a decision based on the results of this analysis.
