NCT ID NCT07319286

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether dulaglutide, a drug used for type 2 diabetes, can help regulate menstrual cycles in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes who have poor blood sugar control. Researchers will give some participants dulaglutide plus insulin, while others get only insulin. The goal is to see if the drug reduces irregular periods, such as missed or unpredictable cycles.
