Do you have type 2 diabetes and are currently taking Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to control your glucose levels?
This clinical research study is evaluating an experimental treatment for type 2 diabetics.
Would you like to take part?
As a volunteer in a research study, you’ll receive study-related medical care from the study doctor and regular follow-up of your health to monitor the effectiveness of the care you’ll receive. The results of this research will be used to find out if the investigational medication being studied will be of benefit to others struggling to manage type 2 diabetes, and whether it will be made widely available to all Canadians. Study volunteers are an important part of moving medical care forward.
You may qualify to participate in this study if you:
- Have type 2 diabetes
- Have HbA1c ≥7.5% to ≤10.5% at screening
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of ≥27 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) at screening
- Have had a stable body weight for the three months prior to screening

- Any current use of another oral antihyperglycemic medication (OAM) (including but not limited to, Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitors (DPP-4i) and meglitinides) may be randomized if the additional OAM treatment was discontinued at least 3 months prior to screening
- If participant has been on stable doses (for at least three months) of up to three OAMs (limited to metformin, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, sulfonylurea, and/or thiazolidinediones (TZD), they are permitted to participate in the study
