Do you have type 2 diabetes, or are you currently struggling with weight related issues?
This clinical research study is evaluating an experimental treatment for type 2 diabetics who are also overweight or obese. This study will look at how much weight participants will lose and how much blood sugar control they achieve from the start to the end of the study.
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 with these conditions, and whether it will be made widely available to all Canadians trying to manage them. Study volunteers are an important part of moving medical care forward.
