First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested a new weekly injection called TG103, combined with the common diabetes pill metformin, in 632 adults with type 2 diabetes. The goal was to see if TG103 could lower blood sugar better than an existing weekly shot (dulaglutide) over 28 weeks. Participants received either TG103 or dulaglutide, and researchers tracked changes in blood sugar levels, weight, and safety.
