New triple therapy aims to protect kidneys in diabetes patients

NCT ID NCT07537088

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding a weekly injection called dulaglutide to two standard pills (SGLT-2 inhibitors and finerenone) can better protect the kidneys of Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes and mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease. About 468 participants will be randomly assigned to either continue their current two-drug regimen or add dulaglutide for 26 weeks. The main goal is to see if the triple therapy reduces protein in the urine, a key sign of kidney damage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dulaglutide (a once-weekly injection for diabetes) added to SGLT-2 inhibitors and finerenone (both pills)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better way to slow kidney damage in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 4 trial with 468 participants over 26 weeks, so results may not apply to all patients. Adding dulaglutide may increase side effects like nausea or diarrhea without clear kidney benefit.
