La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT07307235RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing a new diabetes combination to standard care for type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if a once-daily injectable combination (iGlarLixi) helps control blood sugar better than usual care for people with type 2 diabetes who are already taking diabetes pills. It aims to find a more effective treatment option.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07307417Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for obesity
This trial tests if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
Wroclaw, Dolny ŚląskAges 30–60 - NCT07315295Recruiting
Iron in therapeutic foods for malnourished kids in Kenya
