Early combination therapy for type 2 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if starting two newer diabetes drugs (empagliflozin and semaglutide) soon after diagnosis, along with metformin, helps control blood sugar better than metformin alone. It's for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last two years who are already taking a high dose of metformin.
