NCT ID NCT07365358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two different drug combinations for people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled with metformin and sitagliptin. About 200 adults will receive either empagliflozin or glimepiride added to their current treatment. The goal is to see which combination helps achieve stable blood sugar levels without causing weight gain or dangerously low blood sugar.
