Summary
This study tested whether adding teneligliptin to standard sulfonylurea therapy improves blood sugar control in 194 Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants received either teneligliptin or a placebo for 12 weeks, followed by an open-label extension for up to 52 weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in HbA1c, a key marker of long-term blood sugar levels.
