Remission Evaluation of a Metabolic Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes With IGlarLixi

CompletedPhase 3

Sponsor: Population Health Research Institute

Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Interventions: iGlarLixi, Insulin Glargine, Metformin, Lifestyle therapy

Countries: Canada

The purpose of the study is to determine whether in patients with early type 2 diabetes, a short-term intensive metabolic intervention comprising iGlarLixi, metformin, and lifestyle approaches will be superior to standard diabetes therapy in achieving sustained diabetes remission.
