About this trial
This study is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, parallel-group, positive-controlled, and pragmatic randomized clinical trial (pRCT). It will compare the efficacy and safety of iGlarLixi versus standard of care in adult T2DM patients with poor glycemic control, who are using 1 to 3 OADs in a real-world clinical practice setting. A total of 1,316 subjects from approximately 40 research centers in China will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: iGlarLixi for blood glucose control; and Group 2: Standard of care for diabetes (basal insulin or premixed insulin, excluding any GLP-1RA-containing drugs). Considering the substantial difference in intervention methods between the two groups, the study is designed as non-blinded with an open-label approach.
