New biweekly diabetes pill could replace daily dosing
NCT ID NCT07198932
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two diabetes medications, cofrogliptin and linagliptin, when added to insulin therapy in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes. About 594 participants will take either a biweekly or daily pill alongside their usual insulin. Researchers will track blood sugar control, side effects, and other health measures over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cofrogliptin and linagliptin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a biweekly pill (cofrogliptin) works as well as a daily pill (linagliptin) for controlling blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who already use insulin.
- What could go wrong
- This is a real-world observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It is also limited to Chinese adults, so findings may not apply to other populations.
