New insulin studied in kids with type 2 diabetes – first look at how it works
NCT ID NCT05790681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new insulin called insulin icodec in 18 children and teenagers (ages 10 to 17) with type 2 diabetes. Each participant received a single injection based on their body weight, and researchers measured how the insulin moved through their blood over time. The goal was to understand the drug's behavior in younger people, not to treat or cure diabetes. This is an early-stage study, so the insulin is not yet available in pharmacies.
