New diabetes drug HRS-7535 shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT06393348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tested a new drug called HRS-7535 in 155 adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar was not well controlled despite taking metformin and an SGLT2i. Participants received either HRS-7535 or a placebo for 16 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug could lower HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) more than placebo.
