What this trial means for you
This study is active, not recruiting — it is not currently taking new participants, but its results may matter for treatments you're considering. It's studying Retatrutide, Semaglutide for diabetes mellitus, type 2.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of retatrutide compared with semaglutide in participants with Type 2 Diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with metformin with or without sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i). The study will last about 26 months and may include up to 24 visits.
