Brief summary

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Berberine Ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes, inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone.

Detailed description

This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 in two phases, a 24-week double-blind phase followed by a 28-week open-label extension. To ensure stabilization of glycemic control, eligible patients will first participate in a 4-week single-blind run-in period where investigators will provide guidance on lifestyle modification, concomitant medications, and procedures for self-monitoring of blood glucose. Following this period, patient eligibility will be reassessed. Eligible patients will then be randomized 2:1 to receive HTD1801 1000 mg twice daily (BID) or placebo for 24 weeks. Patients who complete the double-blind treatment period will enter an open-label extension period where all patients will receive HTD1801 1000 mg BID for an additional 28 weeks.
