Summary

This trial is testing an experimental oral medication called TQF3250 in people with type 2 diabetes who are also overweight or obese.

The study aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and shows early signs of helping with blood sugar control and weight loss. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, and the trial will compare different doses to find the most promising one.
