New diabetes pill shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT00628212
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 study tested a new drug called teneligliptin (MP-513) in 324 Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants took one of three doses of the drug or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The main goal was to see how well the drug lowered blood sugar levels (HbA1c) and to check for side effects. The results will help determine the right dose for larger, confirmatory studies.
