Triple Hypoglycemic Regimens In Patients With Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (TRED)

January 25, 2026 updated by: Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University

Comparison Of Two Triple Hypoglycemic Regimens In Achieving Glycemic Control And Diabetes Remission In Hospitalized Patients With Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Multicenter, Randomized, Clinical Study

This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study. A sample size of 240 cases is proposed to be included. The inclusion criteria are: (1) patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes; (2) age between 18 and 65 years old; (3) HbA1c ≥ 9.0%. The exclusion criteria include: (1) type 1 diabetes; (2) elevated creatinine or urinary albumin/creatinine; (3) combined with coronary heart disease, tumor or pregnancy; (4) receiving glucocorticoids. The selected participants are randomly divided into two groups: one group is the semaglutide group, and the other isthe oral medication group. The treatment plan is as follows. Semaglutide group: 0.25 mg per week in the first month, 0.5 mg per week in the second month, and 1.0mg per week from the 3rd to the 8th month of semaglutide. Oral medication group: Sitagliptin 0.1g per day. Both groups were simultaneously treated with metformin (1.0g daily, divided into two doses) and empagliflozin (10mg daily). The first phase of the study was as follows: Semaglutide group: Treatment was initiated until 6 months after the titration dose of 1mg was reached; Oral medication group: Initiate treatment until 6 months after reaching a fixed dose. At the end of the first stage of the study, for the selected participants with HbA1c<6.5%, the hypoglycemic drugs were discontinued and they entered the second stage of the study. The study was concluded after a 3-month follow-up. The evaluation indicators include: effectiveness indicators (HbA1c, diabetes remission rate, continuous glucose monitoring), safety indicators (hypoglycemia, adverse reactions, etc.).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Semaglutide group: patients receive semaglutide treatment.
Patients receive 0.25 mg per week in the first month, 0.5 mg per week in the second month, and 1.0mg of semaglutide per week from the 3rd to the 8th month.
Drug: Semaglutide (1 Mg Dose)
0.25 mg per week in the first month, 0.5 mg per week in the second month, and 1.0mg of semaglutide per week from the 3rd to the 8th month.
Active Comparator: Oral medication group: patients receive triple hypoglycemic oral medications.
Patients in oral medication group received sitagliptin 0.1g per day. Both groups were simultaneously treated with metformin (1.0g daily, divided into two doses) and empagliflozin (10mg daily).
Drug: Sitagliptin (DPP4 inhibitor)
Sitagliptin 0.1g per day.
