New diabetes pill icovamenib enters Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT07502495
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a new drug called icovamenib can help people with type 2 diabetes who still have high blood sugar despite taking other medications. About 60 adults aged 18 to 70 will receive either icovamenib or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if icovamenib lowers HbA1c, a key blood sugar measure, better than placebo.
