Our team of healthcare experts is testing an investigational drug to see if it can control your blood sugar without impacting your weight. The investigational drug will be compared with an approved drug for people with type 2 diabetes and a placebo. A placebo looks like the investigational drug but does not have any effect on your body.
The investigational drug, approved drug and placebo come in tablet form. You will be asked to take 1 tablet orally
If you take part, you will join one of three dose groups. You will have a 2 in 3 chance of receiving the investigational drug and a 1 in 3 chance of receiving the approved drug or placebo. You cannot choose which group you will join.
The study could last up to 32 weeks and is made up of 3 parts:
Part 1: Screening (4 weeks) – you will have tests at your nearest study center to see whether you can take part
Part 2: Study treatment (24 weeks) – if you qualify, you will take the investigational drug, approved drug or placebo
Part 3: Follow-up (4 weeks) – you will be asked to return to the study center 2 more times to check on your health
Over the course of the study, you will be asked to attend the study center approximately 10 times. There may be additional visits required, which will be decided by the study doctor.
