Efficacy and Safety of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT06350890
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 placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes, inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone.

Detailed Description

This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 in two phases, a 24-week double-blind phase followed by a 28-week open-label extension. 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 2:1 to receive HTD1801 1000 mg twice daily (BID) or placebo for 24 weeks.

Patients who complete the double-blind treatment period will enter an open-label extension period where all patients will receive HTD1801 1000 mg BID for an additional 28 weeks.
