About this trial
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chiglitazar Sodium combined with lifestyle intervention for reversing prediabetes to normal glucose metabolism. Eligible participants with prediabetes will be randomized 1:1 to receive either Chiglitazar Sodium 48 mg once daily or matching placebo, both combined with standardized lifestyle intervention, for 52 weeks, followed by a 12-week observation period and optional long-term extension. The primary endpoint is the reversion rate to normal glucose metabolism at week 64. Secondary endpoints include progression to type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, lipid profile, blood pressure, UACR, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, body weight, BMI, and waist-to-height ratio. Exploratory endpoints include inflammatory markers and long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Safety endpoints include adverse events, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory parameters.
