A Phase III Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Elecoglipron Compared With Placebo in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Impaired Renal Function on Background Dapagliflozin
Key takeaways
A phase 3 trial is planned for elecoglipron, a new diabetes drug, in adults with type 2 diabetes and reduced kidney function. Everyone in it will already be on dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor that is now standard kidney protection, and the new drug will be compared with a dummy pill on top of that. Testing an add-on to current best care is the useful question. No results yet.
