First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests an experimental oral drug called XW014 in healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes. The main goal is to check safety and how the body handles the drug. 127 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo in single or multiple doses. This is a first-in-human study, so it's too early to know if the drug works.
