New injectable drug aims to tame blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
NCT ID NCT06650007
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether an experimental injectable drug called HRS9531 can help adults with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Participants receive either HRS9531 or a placebo for 36 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug lowers HbA1c, a key measure of long-term blood sugar, and also to check for weight loss and safety.
