Generic diabetes pill put to the test: will it match the brand?
NCT ID NCT07679711
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a new generic extended-release tablet containing sitagliptin and metformin works the same in the body as the brand-name version (Janumet XR). Healthy Chinese adults receive a single dose of each tablet, separated by a washout period, under both fasting and fed conditions. Blood samples are taken to measure drug levels and check for safety. The goal is to see if the generic can be considered a suitable substitute for the brand.
