Summary
This study compares a new oral diabetes medication, QLG1091, to the existing drug Rybelsus, both taken alongside metformin. About 478 adults with type 2 diabetes will take one of the two pills daily for 26 weeks. The goal is to see if QLG1091 controls blood sugar (HbA1c) as well as Rybelsus.
