About this trial
This study aims to evaluate whether dorzagliatin can improve glycemic homeostasis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by chronic renal insufficiency, and to compare the efficacy of dorzagliatin with linagliptin in improving glycemic control in patients with T2DM and moderate to severe chronic renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<45 mL/min/1.73 m²).
This is a prospective, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter clinical study planned to enroll 206 eligible patients. After successful screening, patients will enter a 2-week run-in period consisting of diet and exercise control together with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Eligible patients will then be randomized to receive dorzagliatin 75 mg twice daily (BID) or linagliptin 5 mg once daily (QD) on top of background antihyperglycemic therapy. Basal insulin therapy will be standardized to insulin glargine U300 after treatment initiation. The treatment period will last 14 weeks, followed by a 1-week safety follow-up period.
