Summary

This is a Phase IIb, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AZD5004 in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared to placebo and active comparator.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved adequate blood sugar control. Participants should be able to take oral medication and commit to the study for 26 weeks. Specific medical conditions or treatments that could interfere with the study are reasons for exclusion.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new once-daily pill, AZD5004, against a placebo (a dummy pill) and Semaglutide, an existing diabetes medication. The goal is to see if AZD5004 is effective in controlling blood sugar levels over a period of 26 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea, risk of low blood sugar events, possible allergic reactions, kidney problems, and other side effects typically associated with diabetes medications.
