NCT ID NCT06647745

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether taking dapagliflozin and telmisartan together works better than either drug alone for people with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. About 221 adults will receive either the combo or a single drug for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar and blood pressure to see if the combination is more effective and safe.
