NCT ID NCT07266766
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks whether a generic version of the diabetes drug empagliflozin/metformin works the same as the brand-name Synjardy XR. Forty healthy adults each take one dose of both pills under fed conditions, and researchers compare how much drug gets into the bloodstream. The goal is to see if the generic is a suitable, lower-cost alternative.
