Efficacy and Safety of Henagliflozin Proline and Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-release Tablets (Ⅰ) Versus Metformin Tablets in Patients With New-onset Type 2 Diabetes: a Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

September 10, 2025 updated by: Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital
This multicenter, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Henagliflozin-Metformin Sustained-Release Tablets (I) versus Metformin Tablets in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 268 participants will be randomized (1:1) into two groups: the experimental group receiving Henagliflozin-Metformin Sustained-Release Tablets (I) (5mg/500mg, once daily) with lifestyle intervention, and the control group receiving Metformin Tablets (500mg, twice daily) with lifestyle intervention. The primary outcome is the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in fasting/postprandial blood glucose, body weight, metabolic parameters, diabetes remission rate, and safety assessments. This trial will provide evidence for early combination therapy in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Those who have experienced decompensated heart failure (NYHA class III and IV), unstable angina, stroke or transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia, undergone cardiac surgery or vascular reconstruction (including coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention) within the past six months.
  • Those taking glucocorticoid drugs (excluding topical or inhaled medications).
  • Those with a life expectancy of less than one year due to malignant tumors, active tuberculosis, or acute infections.
  • Those with clinically significant urinary tract or genital infections, or a history of recurrent urinary tract or genital infections.
  • Those with a history of hypertension whose blood pressure has not been effectively controlled despite antihypertensive drug treatment: systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 100 mmHg.
  • Those with liver and kidney function indicators meeting the following criteria: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 3.0×ULN; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 ml/min/1.73 m² (calculated according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI] formula).
  • Those allergic to the investigational drug or its components.
  • Pregnant or lactating women and those with the intention to conceive within three months of the last dose.
  • Other patients deemed unsuitable for participation in this clinical trial by the investigator.
